Cozy winter day

Nothing says “winter wonderland” quite like hot chocolate, a warm fire, a good book and – above all – cozy clothes! Whether you’re writing your final terms papers in the library while overlooking the snowy quad or finally back relaxing at home (hooray!), you’ll need all the warm and fuzzy essentials to make the most of the day.

Hand Knit Cable Sweater, $218 at Boden
Cozy Desert Boot, $148-168 at Boden
Fun Hat, $38 at Boden
Placid Blue Cord Skinny Jeans, $48-78 at Boden

Don’t even try to deny that you’re obsessed with this Santa’s helper-esque ensemble! Perfect for any snowball fight, chilly trek across the quad or hot cocoa date, this fabulously fuzzy outfit is exactly what we need this winter.

Contrast Pocket Sweater, $58-68 at Boden
Boyfriend Jeans, $78 at Boden
Ankle Socks, $38 at Boden
Cosy Stitch Glove, $28 at Boden

Colorfully cozy and wonderfully warm, this sweater-chic look is one of our favorites for colder days. The relaxed boyfriend jeans are just comfy enough for studying and completely cute enough to rock on campus (and off!), and the pretty primary colors of this sweater are sure to brighten up any gray winter day.

 

Holiday party with friends

One of our absolute favorite things about the holidays is all the glitz, glam and glitter of holiday parties, because who doesn’t need a little extra sparkle this season?! Of course, you won’t need to bundle up (read: coziness not required) for your winter nights out with friends, but you’ll definitely need a whole lot of edge and embellishments to stand out from the crowd. This year, play up wintery colors like ice blues, glittering blacks, silvery metallics and snowy whites!

Lucy Skirt, $78 at Boden
Metallic Organza Top, $88.90-96.20 at Boden
Mary Jane in Warm Pewter Metallic, $188-198 at Boden
Embellished Clutch, $148 at Boden

For any polished holiday party, you’ll want to look the part! Keep your look simple and chic with a delicately detailed top tucked into a neutral skirt, and don’t forget to add that extra pop of glitter with a knockout clutch and heels. Violà – you’re ready to make some memories!

Party Pencil Skirt, $148-178 at Boden
Silk Cami in Lollipop, $58 at Boden
Soho Ankle Boot in Black, $118.80-208 at Boden
Ribbon & Chain Necklace, $40.60-58 at Boden
Wrap Bracelet in Black Multi Glitter, $23 at Boden

Who says you have to cover up completely for winter? Show off your best self at holiday parties! This slinky camisole is fabulously flattering, and you’re sure to turn heads with this glimmering, shimmering skirt. What better time to rock sparkle?!

 

Holidays with family

Pre-holiday parties are some of our favorite events of the year (sorry, Halloween), but the actual holidays themselves totally take the cake as the all-time best perks of winter! Whether you’re traveling to see the whole extended fam (prepare yourself) or staying at home for an intimate day with just your parents and siblings, you’ll want to look the part!

Spot Jacquard Top, $52.80-61.60 at Boden
Cambridge Skirt in Green, $58.50-78
Block Heel Slipper in Pewter Metallic and Freckle, $148-168 at Boden
Zip Top Clutch, $75.60-108 at Boden

The perfect holiday outfit is equal parts pretty, appropriate, eye-catching and festive. While you won’t want to show up in any short mini skirts (Grandma might not love it…), you can still rock your personal style with A-line hems, delicate details and just the right hint of polished preppiness!

Embellished Floral Top in Navy, $96.20-103.60 at Boden
Oxford Turn-up in Henna, $70.80-118 at Boden
Chic Ankle Boot in Warm Pewter Metallic, $178-198
Printed Scarf in Pewter Spot, $22.80-38

It’s not every day that we fall in love with a pair of trousers, but consider us smitten! This flattering, on-trend pair from Boden is best paired with beautiful embellished tops, eye-catching metallic boots and festive scarves to play up your holiday spirit. You’re family photo-ready!

Wherever you spend your time this holiday season (and however you decide to spend it), do it in style! Cold-weather chic is our favorite kinds of chic, after all, so bundle up or step into some sparkles – make this winter one you’ll never forget!
