The weather outside might be frightful (thanks Jonas), but this doesn't mean you have to choose between freezing your little tush off when you leave the house or looking like a bundled up snowman. Here are my suggestions for super warm and cozy looks that will have you stepping out with stylish confidence.
COAT + OVERSIZED SCARF
The classic coat and oversized scarf combo won't look boring if you choose a cool color variation like a burgundy wrap coat + plaid scarf. For added sex appeal, match it to a pair of burgundy suede pumps (or booties if you're in the northeast). I am loving these wine-inspired hues, and Jenna's look is the perfect way to add some color to your winter wardrobe!

OVERSIZED KNITS
A super cozy, extremely fashionable variation (and my personal fave) is oversized knits. Avoid overloading your appearance by choosing pieces with slim silhouettes to counterbalance the natural bulk of the sweater - meaning don't pair an oversized knit with a baggy pair of boyfriend jeans. Play with volumes and add more protection against the cold by wrapping an XXL scarf around your neck. Another fun look to try if you need a little extra warmth is layering a collared shirt beneath the sweater. There is no denying Juley's look is the perfect balance of warmth and sensuality!

SHORT SKIRT + FUR
The short skit + fur combo creates a super chic contrast of volumes. This is the perfect way to add a little sex appeal to a winter date night look or night out with girlfriends. Jessie always manages to pull together the perfect balance of sexy and chic!

JEANS, BOOTS + SWEATER
Jeans, boots + a knitted sweater creates an effortlessly cool look, especially if you throw a plaid shirt into the mix. If you want to add a touch of femininity, opt for an oversized necklace. MEL'S TIP: choose a necklace with vertical lines that elongate the body. Jane's statement piece might be close to the neck, but the pointed silhouette adds length to her sweater.

LONG COAT + SKINNY JEANS
You can balance out the bulky appearance of a long coat if you wear it with a pair of skinny pants. Choose a fresh color for the coat, such as blush pink, for some added femininity. Sarah hit this look out of the park!!
