This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

The young women of Morgantown have always had a unique style- each girl does her own thing.  It’s the time of the year when the temperature steadily drops and the hills are getting icy.  Bundle up ladies winter is here!! 

 

1. Faux fur

Stylish, yet warm.

2. Baseball cap/ beanies

This is the simplest way to cover your bedhead.

3. Big puffy coat

This one is more of a necessity this season than a fashion statement.

4. Bean boots

Pair these with adorable boot socks and you’re ready to survive the icy weather!

5. Leggings, leggings, leggings!

The only way to be just as comfy for classes, yet not dressed in your pajamas.

6. Scarves

Complete the outfit.

7. Headbands

To protect your ear against the wind.
