Now that snow has fallen and temperatures are starting to drop in Binghamton, we can say that winter is finally here. With the weather only expected to get colder as the months wear on, the task of staying warm is at the top of most people’s to-do lists.
For the style-conscious college gal, it can be difficult to find warm weather clothing that does not make you look like an Eskimo. But don’t worry, just because the temperature is dropping does not mean your style has to as well. It is possible to look good and stay warm and dry at the same time.
Here are some tips for braving the cold while looking and feeling great.
Layer, layer, layer: Probably the most important tip for getting dressed in the winter, layering is a skill that everyone needs to learn and embrace. Every winter, we experience freezing temperatures outside, and boiling temperatures inside. The key to being prepared for both is by wearing multiple layers. Throw on a tee, add a sweater, and top it off with your winter coat and accessories and you’ll be ready to tackle anything.
Boots
A great pair of waterproof, insulated boots is what every Binghamton student needs to survive the snowy winters. Perfect for rain, snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, a quality pair of boots is something to consider investing in. The great thing is they can be worn with anything. Whether you style them with denim pants or a skirt and tights, you’ll look good and stay warm.
Winter accessories
Wearing a hat, scarf, and gloves in the winter is very important. Even if you’re wearing a comfy winter coat, you will most likely get cold if your head, neck and hands are not covered. If you walk into any clothing store, you will find a plethora of these items in any color, pattern, or fabric. Put together a matching set or pick each piece individually, these accessories are a cute and functional addition to any winter outfit.
It is definitely possible to look great and stay warm in the winter months, especially if you follow these tips. What are your must-have items for staying chic in the cold weather? We would love to hear from you.
