Five Ways to Stay Cozy - StyleLISTS

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, StyleLISTS



If you live in the north like we do, you don't need to be told that it's cold outside. The temptation to stay inside under a ridiculous blanket (like the one above, ahem) is great, but we won't allow it! Why would you buy a "blanket with sleeves" to stay warm, when there are more fabulous alternatives?

1. The Capelet

Retro-fever continues unabated. Throw on a capelet and channel your inner Ava Gardner.



2. The Oversized Scarf

Adding a scarf or a shawl adds instant class to any outfit. Don't be intimidated by larger scarves - they're actually easier to wear than the tiny ones stewardesses wear. In silk or wool, you're sure to stay warm!




3. The Chunky Sweater

This one needs no explanation. Nothing says cozy like a sweater, especially if it's hand knit.



4. The Cardigan

This season has been the season of the cardigan -- from luxe to casual there's one for every taste. We'd avoid the pearl-and-twinset look and find something that adds some pop to your outfit. Stripes? Bejewelled? It's all available this year, so snap them up!



5. Faux Fur

A fur-trimmed jacket (faux, of course!) is glamorous and practical -- of course you need one!



That's all our lovelies! Have fun, and stay warm!
