Lookin' fresh: Layer your winter looks

Winter weather raises the demand for accessories: thick scarves, fancy gloves, comfy beanies, heavy coats and leather boots. The secret to achieving a put-together look while staying warm and accessorizing is to dress in layers. One way to make this happen is to mix leggings with a crochet or knit sweater underneath a heavy pea coat. Finish it off with some leather boots, a beanie, a scarf and some leather gloves, and the outfit makes the wearer look sophisticated and classy. In exchange for a sweater, one can wear a leather jacket with a T-shirt or tank top to add more of a trendy feel to the ensemble. For those who are looking for more of a flirty, fun outfit, try on a bodycon dress with some tights, a scarf and knee-high leather boots underneath a chunky, long cardigan. The cardigan can instead be a leather jacket or a cropped faux-fur jacket, if one likes: The leather jacket adds toughness to the outfit, whereas the cropped faux fur jacket can add a radiant, over-the-top feel.
