@lefevrediaryI’m not a winter person. The early sunsets leave me sleepy. The cold weather cracks my skin and makes my nose run and eyes water. That’s why I tend to think about my outfits as a form of soft armor, something that can swaddle me in a way that just might convince me to finally leave the house. That’s in part why I gravitate toward easy outfits. If I’m trying to coax myself to leave the house, I need to streamline the process, making it as simple as possible to pull together a look I feel good in, whether I’m just running a quick errand or going out for a Friday-night turn at an art museum.
The key to an easy winter outfit, in my book, is what I call the cozies. Keep in mind one or two outfit-making pieces that also happen to keep you warm. This could be a tailored coat, a cherry-red cardigan, or simply a pair of scrunchy socks. These pieces should be sprinkled in with your favorite jeans or go-to sneakers to give an outfit a new seasonally appropriate lease on life. While the weather forecast will ultimately determine what the right ensemble will be—no heels if it's snowing, no white if it's muddy, a heavy coat if it's windy—it’s up to you to pull together a winter look that inspires you to get outside. Don’t worry, your favorite sweats will be there waiting for the day when you do nothing but luxuriate on the couch.
Lean into winter's rich textures by styling soft knitwear with slick leather. A turtleneck sweater is a piece you can wear all on its on when the temperature allows, or you can finish the look with a wool jacket for a last layer of rich fabric. When you want the mixed materials to shine, you can keep the color palette neutral.
A bag you can wear more ways than one.
Croc boots look so luxe.
For days when you don't want to leave the house in bare legs.
A stylish white shoe you can actually walk in.
A blazer that can dress up a casual look or work for fancy occasions.
It's not just for surviving the cold. A scarf adds a stylish touch.
A bold cardigan transforms the simplest outfit.
