As the weather changes, the style must follow in its footsteps. Clothing of the cooler seasons is all about blending elegance and comfort. Airy, bright, summer pieces are swapped for layered and warmer looks. Sandals turn into boots, and sweaters are more prevalent. So exactly what is in style this fall and winter? For starters, dark red is definitely the color of the season, as it is seen on nails, jackets, pants, and just about any item of clothing you could name. Uggs have been a popular brand for years and are more popular now than ever with their many variations of warm, fluffy shoes. Off-the-shoulder white sweaters are everywhere and are easy to pair with almost anything. Plaid has proved to be the perfect cold weather look, especially around Christmas time.
With the ever-changing weather in Mississippi, layering is the most practical way to dress, as the weather can warm up as the day goes on. To start this, a good staple to anyone’s closet is a leather or a puffer jacket. It provides warmth and elevates even the simplest outfit. A sweater can be worn under the jacket or even on its own, and I would recommend you pair that with a good set of wide leg jeans or a skirt. Weather permitting, you could wear black tights under the skirt and top that off with a pair of boots.
Fall and wintertime adorns itself with a rich collection of fabric trends, including cashmere, corduroy, velvet, and even tweed. These provide a look and feeling of warmth along with the vintage, nostalgic vibe that many associate with the cold weather. They can be seen in many different forms, a very popular one being a clothing set. A tweed skirt and top combo is all the rage this year and is always a timeless look for any event.
Finally, an outfit can never be complete without accessories. This season, hair bows have become very popular, brought back by singer Gracie Abrams, as it is her signature look. These bows can be bought online or in store, or you can even just cut one from a ribbon roll and tie it in your hair. As always, a scarf always goes nicely on a cold day, and can even serve as a statement piece. Wide brim hats are popular this year, especially during football season, as they shield against a cold breeze and provide a dramatic touch to your look.
With Christmas on the horizon, these clothing items are great things to add to your list. Whether it is just a trending piece or a timeless staple, it is always fun to show off new clothing, especially clothing that is in style for the season. Above is a look book for inspiration.
