Winter Wonderland Wardrobe: 8 Outfit Ideas To Slay The Season

Winter’s chill blankets the entire world, and that calls for a rework in our wardrobes with warm and chic ensembles. No matter if you’re going to be out playing in the snow or just enjoying a mug of hot cocoa by the fire, here are eight outfit ideas that will help you slay winter in style and comfort. Classic Cable Knit Sweater and Denim in Winter An ultimate winter classic, the cable knit sweater spells warmth and adds taste to your dressing sense. Opt for a cream or gray shade that is easily worn with your favorite jeans. Add an ankle boot along with a thick scarf and you are extra warm. Very nice for casual outings or lounge weekends. Combination of Chic Wool Coat and Turtleneck This can be done for a finished look by layering the turtleneck sweater under a high-neck, tailored wool coat. To make a statement, choose a coat in a bold color like emerald or burgundy. Combine with some high-waisted trousers or a pencil skirt and finish the total look with knee-high boots. The perfect looks would be at work or formal gatherings. Layered Maxi Dress with Sweater Make that summer maxi dress winter-worthy with the help of a fitted sweater, layered on top. Add some thermal leggings underneath for extra warmth. Build the rest of the outfit with knee-high boots and end with a wide-brimmed hat. This combo dresses up a cold-weather look with class, suitable for holiday parties or weekend brunches. Puffer Jacket and Leggings On bitterly cold days, a puffer jacket will be your best friend. Try one that is nipped in at the waist to create a more flattering silhouette. Team up with some thermal leggings or skinny jeans and insulated boots. Add a beanie and some gloves to the look, and voilà—you’re ready to roll in both comfort and style. Statement Knit Dress A knit dress is essential for any cold-weather outfit—it yells coziness while still being stylish. Opt for something with a distinct texture or pattern to set you apart. Add some over-the-knee boots and a nice statement belt around the middle to give your waist extra oomph. Voilà, holiday gatherings, or nighttime outfits are done. Layered Flannel and a Chunky Sweater Throw on the relaxed feel in a plaid flannel shirt over a chunky sweater. This isn’t just warm but oh-so-stylish, too. Add some distressed jeans and combat boots, and you have that rugged, cool vibe that’s perfect for casual outings or lazy get-togethers. Faux Fur Vest and Long Sleeve Dress Bring some luxury into your winter outfit with a faux fur vest. Worn over a long-sleeved dress for extra warmth and class, pair this combination with knee-height boots and little else to let the vest be the center of your look. This is perfect for any upscale winter event or even just a dinner date that calls for some added class. Teddy Coat and Wide-Leg Trousers For ultra-comfy, trendsetter attire, go for neutrals or pastel shades in the teddy coat. Match it with wide-leg trousers, a plain sweater or blouse, finished off with loafers or ankle boots. Comfort and high fashion walk hand in hand here—just perfect for working or hanging out. Conclusion: Winter style does not need to feel like all fashion goes out of the window for the sake of warmth. With these eight outfit ideas, you will embrace this season with your head held high and flair added. Mix and match these pieces to create your winter wonderland wardrobe and enjoy these nippy months in style!

How To Style Shirts In Celebrity Manner (Women)

The shirt—a woman’s wardrobe staple. Indeed, it does look like a chameleon in clothing, which morphs into so many diverse styles and suits varied situations. Now, how about giving this very basic staple a red-carpet touch? No need to look further than your celebrities, who spell endless inspiration on how to elevate this everyday basic to new heights by pulling off looks that go from  Finding your iconic shirt looks First off, you’ll need to find a celebrity style guru. This guide will walk you through a few iconic shirt looks to get you on your way: Timeless Trendsetter: Olivia Palermo projects the ultimate image of easy elegance. Her signature look is basically rooted in classic silhouettes reimagined in more modern light. Think sharp white poplin blouses that are fitted, have statement collars, or very feminine ruffles. Pair them with tailored trousers or a midi skirt, and sometimes even skinny jeans, and voilà—yet one more polished-yet-versatile ensemble. The Effortlessly Cool: Rock the “borrowed-from-the-boys” vibe of a Kendall Jenner in loose, oversized shirts. Think button-downs in a men’s cut, retro find of some sort, or boyfriend silhouette—worn open for that slouchy vibe over a tank top or bralette or tied at the ends around your waist for a more defined line. Team these shirt silhouettes with distressed denim, high-waisted shorts, or a midi skirt, and you will get that instantly slouchy and laid-back feel but effortlessly cool. The Statement Maker: If you’re someone who’s a sucker for bold patterns and prints, take inspiration from fashion icons like Zendaya. Reach out for statement shirts with florals, animal prints, or stripes. Don’t be afraid of the drama brought in by puff or bell sleeves or go in for a ruffled or off-the-shoulder style. Keep the rest of your outfit simple: dark wash jeans and heels for a chic night out or tailored trousers and flats for a work-appropriate statement. The Power Dresser: Take the shirtdress, for example—one of the all-time celebrity favorites that Victoria Beckham seemingly can’t get enough of. This one-piece wonder can be a power outfit or a weekend staple. For work, reach for the traditional silhouette; for weekend brunch, one with tiers or ruffles will aptly do the trick. Celebrity Styling Secrets Now, once you have your muse and the kind of shirt to be worn in mind, here are some things to do to really pop the look and give off that A-list vibe: The Art of Proportions: Master proportions by pairing the oversized shirt with some skinny jeans or a fitted skirt to create a flattering silhouette. Tuck in part of the shirt it helps define a waistline. Not to mention how fun layering is wearing a fitted tank top under a see through button-down or layering a turtleneck under an open-collared shirt as a very preppy touch. Accessorize Like a Pro: Dress up an otherwise simple T-shirt with a little accessorizing. It might be anything as simple as large, bold necklaces, a few bracelets when layered, larger earrings, or belts that get really cinched in at your waist. Add in one pop of color—you’re definitely not limited to those, though. Throw in a statement handbag and some shades, and you have right there that celebrity look. Shoe Magic: The right shoes can change everything. Heels dress up that otherwise plain tee and short-shorts combo. Sneakers bring it down a notch, adding that sporty feel. Eloise loafers or pointed flats add up for a polished vibe. Celebrity T-Shirt Inspiration for Any Occasion: Now, let’s get specific! Here are some celebrity-inspired looks for these very kinds of occasions: Red Carpet Ready: Rock that ruffled or sequined shirt and sleek pencil skirt like Blake Lively for a glamorous entrance. Street Style Chic: Gigi Hadid does this easy vibe crop white shirt, high-waisted ‘mom’ jeans that comprises an outfit with chunky sneakers. Workwear with a Flair: According to Victoria Beckham, power dressing in a crisp white shirt is best done with a high-waisted-midi skirt and pointed pumps. Weekend brunch vibes: Take a cue from Emily Roberts as she rocks florals in a floral-printed shirt matched with denim cut-offs. Fashion is a way of expressing your inner self. These points are, therefore, a starting step into building your very own personal style, of course, with the stars’ inspiration. Experiment a little on styles and don’t be afraid to bend the rules. After all, what really matters is that you feel confident and comfortable in what you wear.  Bonus Tip: You could pin on a board on Pinterest, or to a mood board filled with celebrity shirt inspiration, which alone speaks to you, and look at it when you’re getting ready, or if you’re looking to grab some new shirts to throw into the mix.

Shopping Freaks, It’s Time For Some Guilt-Free Swapping At “Exchange Room”!

Shopping Freaks, It’s Time For Some Guilt-Free Swapping At “Exchange Room”! Have you ever felt that your wardrobe doesn’t have enough space to contain all your clothes? Your wardrobe probably is drowning in a sea of clothes that you are not using anymore, but you want to keep them in case of any kind of need later. We all tend to do that, without realising that these clothes will end up in a landfill in less than a year. While some people maybe shopping to get the latest trends, some might be just doing it out of boredom or as an activity to indulge in outside your mundane work or home life. No wonder it’s called retail therapy. What can we do about this? Is there any way we can control this  shopping urge? Have you ever heard of the guilt-free retail therapy? A place where fashion sustains without the usual use and throw technique? If not, Bangalore has an amazing eco-friendly fashion initiative. Started in July 2014 by four friends, who are fashion enthusiasts, it is called the “Exchange Room”. This initiative works with a motive to create a sustainable shopping experience by swap and shop from the pop-up stores. They host events that you can attend with your friends and do some sustainable and guilt-free shopping by buying or selling some pre-loved quality clothes. This social gathering is the perfect place to swap your branded and quality clothes that don’t fit you anymore with something that you like and fit into. Don’t have any clothes to swap? Well, you can still buy some stunning pre-loved items at a throw-away price. The Exchange Room is all about creating a culture of mindful consumption to induce a change of attitude towards fashion with nurturing generosity. The Exchange Room has already hosted 15 events in Bangalore with the help of some incredible fashion influencers to spread the aim and vision of this lovely community. [envira-gallery id=”5309″]
