We get it. Dressing fashionably in the winter can seem a herculean task. It’s cold and uncomfortable. But you still want to look like the epitome of grace. A little hard with all those layers that leave you looking like a stranded penguin.
But we’ve been able to identify a few key winter wear mistakes that you need to avoid at all costs! To nurture the elegance of the season, drop those 2012 fashion trends at the door. Grab a cup of hot chocolate and let us guide you through the season.
Casual Overcoat & Dressy Clothes; Criminal Activity
This just kills the mood. When you’re wearing a magnificent, beautifully cut dress, why would you pair it up with a swanky overcoat? Remember, overcoat does not equal after thought! Show off that silhouette with a coat that is worthy of your dress. Invest in a luxury piece at FRENI.
Not Pairing Black With Navy
There’s nothing more beautiful than a sultry black with a gorgeous navy! The two colors are practically best friends. Branch out of your comfort zone, and pair these solids together during the winter for a timeless, effortless, and comfortable look. Effortlessly chic!
That Pop Of Color
Where colors sometimes flatter your best features; we suggest steering clear of any neons, and bright hues you were planning on wearing this season. The reasoning is simple; colors, during the summer, tend to look sophisticated because they can be slimming. Add a gorgeous tan to the mix, and there’s nothing better!
Winter however, is a different story. To look put together, pair solid colors, and essentials. Basic pieces, with an intimate touch, are the picture of feminine grace. They keep you warm, and you look extremely presentable!
Shapeless Coats
This defies all rules of fashion. If you want to look your best during the winter, pick coats that are the opposite of shapeless. Coats that define and accentuate your silhouette. Anything boxy is off limits!
Choose one that defines your waistline. The best part? Add a belt on top and you have a summer waist ready. If you can’t find the perfect fit, request an alteration or take it to your tailor!
Over Accessorizing
Who doesn’t love jewelry? Whether it’s a dainty pair of earrings, or a stunning necklace, we almost always find ourselves gravitating towards them. But, let’s not get carried away.
Too many accessories can cause a jumble and steal attention from the real star; you! Opt for gentle, flowing pieces. Keep them to a minimum. Maybe a classy watch. Or a simple chain. This not only adds to your style, but offers you a warm glow!
Oversized Sweaters
Maybe in the comfort of your home, or for a quick grocery run. But oversized sweaters anywhere else? Big no!
Follow our advice, and try on some fitted sweaters. They transform you. Our favorite bit is that they can be paired with the ultimate winter essential; fitted jeans!
At the end of the day, your style is an extension of who you are. Feel like you haven’t landed on your best fit yet? Head over to FRENI, where we believe in creating pieces that were made just for you.
