The Fashion Girl's Guide To Packing For The Winter Holidays
Packing for a holiday is no joke. No one wants to be in a scenario where you try to bundle up and stay cosy, but end up looking like a slump. And winter holidays especially can risk looking a little too dull if you don’t plan your outfits ahead. But don’t let yourself get overwhelmed; we know how to dress you up for any, and every occasion. This is your fashion girl approved guide to packing for winter holidays.
STRIPES
Every fashion girl loves a good stripe. A good ol’ Breton Stripe is a great investment. These classic tops lend an instant cool-girl vibe to your ensemble. While a simple black and white works wonders, if you’re feeling bold enough, look for a striped sweater combining unusual colours, proportions, or textures for a new take on your winter basics.
TURTLENECKS
Instead of packing away your summer dresses, layer them with a knit turtleneck and double your winter wardrobe. Turtlenecks are extremely versatile and can easily be dressed up or down. Tuck yours in a high-waisted pair of trousers to avoid losing your shape under all those winter layers.
LEATHER PANTS
Cover up those pins in style. Leather pants deserve a permanent place in your winter wardrobe. They’re a fabulous alternative to your basic denim and go well with everything that’s already in your closet. Pair them with an oversized sweater, beanie and a pair of sneakers for a more sporty-fashion-forward look.
FAUX FUR
When the cosy levels reach an all-time high, it’s time to bring out the big guns. Faux fur jackets, vests, and stoles instantly elevate your look. Pair these fuzzy toppers with your basics to stay warm AND make a fashion statement.
PUFFER COATS
Puffer coats are fashion-girl approved outerwear which not only keeps you warm but also looks chic when paired wisely. To avoid the jacket from swallowing up your frame, look for one with a built-in belt that’ll cinch in and show off your waist. Pair yours with an LBD for an unexpected look that’s fashionable yet functional.
STATEMENT OUTERWEAR
Every fashion girl needs an extra warm statement maker. Throw in an animal print or a pop of colour to perk up your #ootd. A great way to show off your jacket is to drape it on your shoulders instead of actually wearing it. This is especially helpful when you’re going from a chilly outside to a toasty inside.
While anything you wear will undoubtedly work, if you really want to impress, wear everything with oodles of confidence to stand out from the crowd.
Happy Holidays!
