Winter Fashion: How To Keep Your Look Hot When It's Cold Outside (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

Getting dressed in the winter can be about as exciting as doing your taxes (note to self: get started on those taxes!). We're barely a month in and my tolerance for pants and coats is dwindling. My supply of "skirts-tights-and-a-sweater" getups is exhausted, and all this black and grey has me feeling, well, tired, for lack of a better word.

Yes, it's the middle of winter, so some wardrobe malaise is to be expected, but we've got two months of cold weather ahead of us, so we need to stay strong! We've studied the street style stars to see how they keep their winter wardrobes from looking wilted. Oh, and we've shopped out the looks for you just in case you're in need of a little pick-me-up.

At age 60, I would be institutionalized if I walked thru town in a 10" skirt, tights, and stalettos. Is there anything available for us? It must be generational, but I think anyone over age 5 should wear more than a thigh-high skirt.

There is nothing wrong with fake fur it looks good, feels good, costs less and it is "fashionable"! Most of all it SAVES animals from horrible suffering. Miss PrincessKimK should take a trip to China and witness for herself how the fur is harvested. Read Tarancara's comments and you will get an idea. I can't believe these models and there are so many of them, as they parade the hides of these animals as if it is a beautiful thing. Almost everyone on the planet is aware of the atrocities committed againt these animals yet the STUPID & ARROGANT designers refuse to acknowledge it. The masses are against this cruelty and it still goes on. Some of the same people that wear a real fur will turn in their neighbor for neglecting a dog or cat but can not associate the horrifying abuse of the wild animal used to make a jacket. Wake up people!!!!.....TODAY

Hey gals, here's an alternative sure to please. Wear a long winter coat with nothing on under the coat! That would sure warm me up once you are indoors and remove the coat. Now who can argue with that!

A males view, or at least mine, being from the cold northern part of the country, is that in the winter a woman in a fur coat is a very beautiful and sexy sight! And when its usefulness has ended, which is much longer than an ugly petrolium based, chemically based piece of garbage, is very eco-friendly. It won't sit in some landfill somewhere not rotting! So ladies, wear your furs proudly! And let the PETA people wear their chemical rags!

Just to let you all know Fur is fashion,.. Fake Fur is not fashion!!!
03:42 PM on 02/05/2012
Says you.
03:18 PM on 02/05/2012
I love the women's Fox/Mink scruf,.. That is so pretty! I don't care what PETA and their supporters say,.. I think it's well made. Plus, I always found that real furs are warmer then fake furs. I will say PETA ONLY Want you hear and see what they want you hear and see. Don't believe anything PETA say,.. They justa terroist group! I myself own a Rabbit Fur Coat and I love it,.. It keeps me warm in the winter time! I was given to me as a birthday present many years ago,.. I waer every winter,.. Despite what anyone that ati-fur say! If anyone attacks me and harms my beautifull fur coat I will file charges,.. normally Anti-furs and PETA people run from me when I pull out my cell and call the cops and when they see the cops they run LOL! The women modeling the fur, makes her all more beautiful!

Reminds me of that bizarre passe (thank God) of those dead foxes biting each other's tails that old ladies used to wear around their necks-Fur is disgusting and inhumane, not to mention unnecessary in this day and age (unless you're a Neanderthall) and a passe fashion. Period.
03:31 PM on 02/05/2012
Love people like you who have a HEART. As you said fur IS DISGUSTING. Users are nothing but dead animal !!!!

The real crime here is the total lack of "TASTE". Orange and pink just do not go together.....regardless of what some style maven may claim. When are women going to use real judgement instead of following these so-called stylists? Most of the men designers are gay and of course they would like to make all the women look silly!

"Most of the men designers are gay and of course they would like to make all the women look silly!"
Well thats a lie. These designers wouldn't get to where they are if it wasn't for their designs. If they were silly, we would never hear names like Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, the Caten twins, Marc, Jacobs, ect. The consumers make them big. You're forgetting, designers are first and foremost artists. Im pretty sure you're thinking of avant-garde fashion shows in which designers are called upon to inventive. Lets get real. If designers were only to design clothes meant to be sold, there is no way they will be able to fully explore their artistic side. Avant garde shows allow them to do that. It reminds us that fashion is also a work of art. The fact is none of these pieces are meant to hit store shelves. Instead, these shows act as a gallery where the human body acts as a canvas. You look upon these pieces as you would look at a Picasso at a museum. Oh, Im sure if you sat an Alexander Mcqueen show, you would be so gullible to believe that he designed his famous Armadillo shoes for the consumer. In the words of the late Mcqueen, "“The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today.” This accurately describes the concept of these avant garde fashion shows. Admit it. You're just finding a reason to bash the LGBT community.

Well that outfit doesn't make her look "hot" - it makes her look cruel. Being skinned ( sometimes while still alive) to "dress up" the human species is NOT cool, hot or acceptable. SHAME on the fashionistas responsible for this.

I would just love to see every one of these designers try to survive in some of the harshest climates on this planet while wearing their own clothing lines. Let them work up from the bottom, having to start a fire, build a shelter, hunt for food and learn to tan hides for clothing. They wouldn't have a freaking clue as to how to survive in weather like that.

In this day and age I think its unconscionable for a news outlet like The Huffington Post to promote fur like this, even if its fake. Disgusting...
01:11 PM on 02/05/2012
MMMMh nothing says classy like a dead tortured animal wrapped around your neck.
03:35 PM on 02/05/2012
Agree with you 100%. Fur should be out of the picture for ever.
