Start with a dress like this:
Step One: Throw on a boyfriend cardigan. Lucky for us, fall’s influx of long sweaters isn’t going away any time soon. Leave the cardigan unbuttoned, then use a skinny belt to cinch the waste.
Step Two: Layer with tights. If you don’t have any fun hosiery in bright colors and luxurious textures, definitely invest. They’re an easy and inexpensive way to refresh a tired outfit and add warmth.
Step Three: Add a cute pair of boots. A comfy pair of boots goes a long way in transforming a summery style into a cool-weather sensation. We love over-the-knee boots for instant glam and warmth.
Step Four: Add some sparkle. Once you’re dressed, finish the look with a statement necklace, a cross-body handbag, or both. The sparkle adds a festive accent just in time for the holidays.
Step Five: Top it off with a cute hat. This chilly-day staple signals you’re ready for a walk in a winter wonderland. Reach for hats that are worn close to your head, like a slouchy beret or a 1930s-inspired cloche, or shop our picks for the top 10 hats of the season.
Ta-Da! You’ve created a winter-friendly look you can wear through spring’s thaw!
