Here's How to Do Athleisure Without Looking Sloppy (Promise)
A guaranteed way to energize a winter look? Color. It’s easy to regress into the thinking that cold days equal cool and moody dark hues, but not the case here. Start with a metallic skirt reserved for a party and pair it with your tried-and-true zip-up hoodie in the same color family. Top off with a neutral beanie for a just-rolled-out-of-bed vibe that offsets the drama of the skirt.
One way to ensure you don’t go overboard is with your underlayers; here, Rosson chose cool heeled SOREL rain boots and a chic turtleneck sweater. She adds, “Don’t be afraid of color. Minimalism is in the past. Use prints, vibrant colors, and embellishments to add variety.”
An unconventional pairing, yes, but the tailored silhouette of tweed trousers paired with lace-up wedge boots triggers an interesting play on proportions. The athletic zip-up jacket and the black trench coat give the cozy-but-cool look an ease that makes it perfect for wearing straight into the weekend.
Boots and trenches have been friends forever. But one way to update the classic pairing is to add an element of surprise. Billowy tweed trousers could instantly overpower the outfit; the key is to find a fashionable yet wearable pair of boots that enhances the length of the pants.
