Statement Pieces

BY MORGAN MCMURRIN

Winter does not mean you can no longer be stylish. If anything, the cold weather is the perfect opportunity to layer on that long coat with your favorite scarf and embrace the season’s styles and trends. Check out a few of our fashion favorites, keeping you warm and looking great from head to toe!

1

Floral Cardigan

Let feminine patterned cardigans take over your closet this winter. They will help incorporate color into your cold weather wardrobe and keep you feeling cozy. If you’re wanting to go for the more laid-back feel, order one in a size bigger than you normally wear. Oversized is extra comfy anyway!

A Printed Coat

When it comes to winter outerwear, find a coat with a striking pattern. A black and white houndstooth one will bring any outfit to the next level. Plus, it’ll look gorgeous when paired with a red or fuchsia scarf. You can even size up if you want it to have an oversized appearance.

Lace-Up Booties

When the cold temperature calls for you to swap your shoes, opt for comfy combat boots, like these. They’ll not only keep your feet warm and keep you from slipping and sliding on the icy sidewalks, but they’ll look fashionable thanks to their sweater ankle cuff.

Colorful Wide-Leg Pants

Bring a pop of color into your winter looks with wide-leg pants. They are a stunning statement piece and look great on everybody. To make them warmer on a chilly day, wear nude tights under them.

A Plaid Scarf

Amp up your wardrobe this season with a warm scarf. The best part about one with plaid print is that it can be worn both with a coat and with a plain top. It is a must-have winter accessory you’ll find yourself wearing over and over again. Classic Plaid Scarf, $30 jcrew.com

Statement Jacket

Having a coat you can wear as part of your outfit that you don’t have to take off is great when the temperature starts to drop outside. This denim jacket with pearl accents is a standout.
