Can You Stay Warm and Still Look Cute? | Toronto House Cleaner

 

Winter is getting increasingly unavoidable, and so I ask- can you stay warm and still look cute? Fear not fashionistas, there are ways to maintain your cuteness level even in the harshest of Toronto winters. I’m going to clue you in on a few ways you can make sure you’re staying warm and fashionable these next few months. Because who said you can’t have a clean, put together look all year long?

Before I start with the list, there’s a few overarching factors to keep in mind. For instance, don’t be afraid to play around with colour. Though black matches everything, it won’t help your style when you have black on black on black on black… Instead, try focusing on complementary tones like pink, white and grey. Don’t. Underestimate. Grey. In addition, don’t be afraid of texture! In fact, having a clean lace or velvet slip peeking out from your sweater dress and over a thick pair of stockings could be just what you need to spice up that outfit.

 

Staying Warm & Cozy – Yet Looking Good Tips:

 

 

Your Head Can Be Cute

 

If you live in Toronto, you’re going to be wearing a hat whether you like it or not. So why not make sure it stylish? Having a warm head is key in the winter, and there are plenty of options for every kind of style. For instance, if you’re into the #beanielyfe, you’ll have no problem finding something to keep you warm! My suggestion is to try to find a wool beanie because the wool absorbs and releases heat. And temp control is essential for when you exercise in the winter. Alternatively, look for a hat with fleece lining sewn in. Not only will this keep you even warmer, it’s the solution to stop the static! In fact, you could DIY it and sew in a liner yourself!

If you’re not into the #beanielyfe, there’s plenty of other stylish hats out there. For example, you could try wearing anything from a wool fedora to a thick knitted head band. These knitted headbands will keep your ears warm and eliminate the need for earmuffs! Plus, hat’s aren’t only good for the cold…Feeling a little tired on the TTC after work? With a hat on, you can now rest your head on the bus and still feel clean when you get home.

 

Layers Can Be Cute

 

You’ve probably heard that winter style is all about layering. This will always be the case, so embrace it! Apparently, one of the biggest trends in 2017 winter fashion is a turtleneck and oversized sweater. It may sound super bulky, but choosing a slim fitting turtleneck will be the key to staying warm and stylish. Not sure what the best materials are for winter? Though they’re a little pricey and tougher to clean- wool and cashmere items will be your go-to for warmth.

But what about your poor little legs? Whether you’re into dresses, jeans or skirts- we’ve got some solutions for you. Let’s start with pants. If you prefer wearing pants to work, you can layer your outfit by finding slim fit leggings to slip right underneath. No one will be the wiser and you’ll feel a whole lot warmer! However, when it comes to dresses and skirts, the layers have to add to your style. So to keep those legs warm, find yourself a nice, thick pair of tights or stockings. Then, layer up with knee high socks or leg warmers. Yep, wearing a mini-skirt in the winter is really as simple as that!

 

Coats Can Be Cute

 

You don’t have to be a genius to realize that 99.9999% of people have a black coat. And knowing you’re contributing to the dull winter crowd is depressing.  With that said, trying to make a fashion statement in the winter, could be as simple as choosing a practical, stylish and colorful coat! However, remember that time your friend spilled red wine all over your white coat and you had to get a new one? Moral of the story: never buy white coats, they can be near impossible to clean.

Luckily, the coats that keep you warmest (knee length, for the wind) are also the most elegant looking! So if you don’t have one already, it may be time to go out and find a coat that falls below your knee. Not only will you be much warmer, you’ll look chic AF.

 

Accessories Can Definitely Be Cute

 

The easiest way to maintain your style this winter is to spend as much time on accessories as you do on your twitter rep. Strategically chosen accessories are the best way to keep the warmth close to your body and make your outfit pop. For instance, wearing a chunky statement scarf. Not only will you stay deliciously warm, but a statement scarf will brighten up any winter outfit. Now is the time to experiment with those bold patterns and bright colours you’ve always wanted to try. Because it’s cold out… and what else is there to do besides cleaning out the crumbs in your pockets.

If you rely heavily on accessories to maintain your style, don’t let your handbag escape your cute-radar. To really get heads turning, choose a bag that contrasts with the colour of your jacket. You’ll be looking like posh spice in a snow storm in no time! Lastly, though we talked about how knitted headbands are great because they eliminate the need for earmuffs, you may love earmuffs. And that is understandable. If you’re that kind of gal, definitely capitalize on the opportunity to get a crazy new pair of earmuffs! At the end of the day, we’ve got to learn how to make winter fun again- and fashion may be the way to do that.
