Fashion 101: 5 Cold Weather Essentials

There are 5 top fashion essentials for cold weather that will help you if you want to look cute and stay warm at the same time. Hats, oversized sweaters, scarves, layers, and darker clothing are so beneficial to your wardrobe throughout the fall and winter season. Each item keeps you warm and chic, some you can even turn into a DIY project! Keep on reading to find out how to incorporate the essentials into your everyday wardrobe.


Jessica Alba

Work with oversize sweaters paired with tighter fitting skinny jeans. The big sweater helps to keep you super warm while the skinny jeans maintain your curves and shape. An extra bonus goes for the ladies who try out printed skinny jeans paired with an oversize sweater for an unexpected twist! If it's really chilly outside throw on a cute beanie to keep your head warm. 

Ashley Benson

Layering up with cardigans, jackets, knee socks, anything extra will definitely help you to stay warm. The best layering technique is to mix up the colors your layering with like how Ashley Benson went with whites, blacks, and greys to showcase each different piece. Don't wear to many flowy and loose layers, try stick with only a flowy cardigan and keep the rest fitted or a fitted jacket with a flowy top. Keep the layer balanced! 

Kim Kardashian

Scarves are great for keeping your neck warm and chic at the same time. Scarves are becoming so versatile lately with the various patterns, fabrics, styles, and of course the way to wear them. I love watching WendysLookBook's video on Youtube about all the different scarf looks, who knew there way more than just wrapping it around your neck? However, the best way to wear a scarf is with lower neckline tops and crew necks, scarves don't always look good with a turtle neck.

Fashion 101: Disco Pants

Okay so at first glance you may think these are flashbacks of the pants Oliva Newton John wore in Grease and you're absolutely right. Fashion as well as music and other popular trends are usually a rewind of trends in past decades. Anyways, I have to showcase the trend of disco pants! I totally want a pair of disco pants, they look like high-waisted leather pants that hug your body like leggings and come in a variety of colors. Disco pants will work heels, flats, and tennis shoes and look great with any type of top. They really work like jeans in you wardrobe, but better because of their smooth and tight fit. Disco pants can work into any style depending on how you style them, their color, and how you work them.

Will you be trying out disco pants this fall?

Trend Alert: Working With Leather

Leather has always been in, but it is steadily being incorporated into everyone's wardrobe. Leather is great for keeping you warm while still adding edge and texture to your look. I love wearing my leather pants especially since they go with so many different pieces in my wardrobe. Another plus is that just like jeans, leather pants come in multiple colors such as a red pair that I'll be featuring in an OOTD post very soon. Below I showcased Fergie, Miranda Cosgrove, and Jessica Alba all wearing leather within their outfits and styles. Keep on reading to learn how to add leather into your look. 

Fergie

Fergie goes the all black route by pairing slouchy skinny leather pants with a casual black top and and fierce heels. The leather pants are very understated, but still give the look edge and amp it up much more than a pair of everyday blue jeans would. Fergie's bag is what really stands out, the wrap-around chains are hot!

Miranda Cosgrove

No one understands how much of an amazing celebrity Miranda Cosgrove is nor her amazing style. Miranda is always sporting such a chic edgy age appropriate look which is why I really love her leather skirt. A leather skirt can easily become too sexy, but the pleating and length of Miranda's leather skirt makes it just right and still shows off some leg. Miranda paired the look with a comfortable loose tank and black booties which keep the look young and chic. 

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba definitely knows how to shake up a classic girly look by adding a dash of leather. Jessica's look went from super classy to amazingly powerful with her leather jacket and top handle bag. Leather jackets are not just for bikers, but also for adding edge and a presence of being big and bad. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I throw on my leather I feel as though no one can tell me anything, expect my mother of course!
