]]>Light Layers
The key to transitional dressing is LIGHT LAYERS. A day in early spring can range from frosty temps in the morning to warm sun in the afternoon. We suggest combining lightweight basic tees with cozy knit cardigans and lightweight jackets such as a light trench coat, denim jacket, or an oversized blazer.
Knits & Florals
One of our favorite combos to welcome in the spring is to pair your winter knits with flowy florals. Pop on a cute floral dress, top with a chunky roll-neck, and add some low-denier pantyhose and ankle boots and you’ve got yourself a perfect spring ‘fit.
Spring Color Palate
It’s time to rely less on winter burgundies, dark blues, and emerald greens, and reintroduce warmer, paler spring hues like pinks, yellows, and lighter greens. Neutral spring colors include tan, ivory, and warm grey. Of course, you can still mix and match with your winter clothes, but adding a pop of pale will add an instantly spring-y feel to your look!

]]>Tied Across Your Body
Similar to how you would wear a crossbody bag, you can tie your sweater across your chest to add some color and dimension to your outfit. Just be sure to make a neat tie so that it looks purposeful and styled, rather than roughly tied around you!
Loosely Tied in the Center
If the crossbody look isn’t for you, you can also choose to put the sweater over both shoulders, tying it loosely under your neck. This will create more of a cape effect in the back, which is super stylish.
Draped Over Your Shoulders
One of the most popular ways to wear a sweater (without really wearing it) is to simply drape it. Instead of typing, you put the body of the sweater on your back and leave the arms hanging over your shoulders in the front.

]]>Wear Them With Loafers
We can definitely give Emma Chamberlain some credit for popularizing this trend, but it’s become super common to wear longer socks with a pair of loafers. It looks super cute with a long skirt or a dress. It creates the perfect balance of casual and classy.
Scrunched Down With Ugg Boots
Ugg boots and slippers have made the comeback of the century this year. If you decide to hop on the bandwagon and get yourself a pair of short Uggs or Ugg slippers, you can wear your long socks scrunched at the ankles with either of these. This gives your comfy outfit an extra bit of style and warmth.

If you love extra long socks that are knee-high, a great way to style them is to wear a pair of boots. If you do black socks with black boots, it will give the illusion of knee-high boots, which can look super cute with a skirt!

]]>‘Winterize’ Your Summer Pieces
Just because it is cold doesn’t mean you have to put away your favorite summer dresses. By making it winter-ready, you can wear your favorite clothing all year round and get even more out of your purchase. An easy way to do this is to put a turtleneck under your dress with tights or wear your favorite summer dress with boots and a leather jacket.
Add a Statement Piece
A scarf is one of the most used accessories of winter, so why not make it exciting by choosing an oversized colorful scarf that can be draped across your neck? This keeps your neck warm and makes you stand out in the crowd.
Double the Knitwear
A turtle neck is a must-have piece for the colder weather. It is the perfect piece to wear under everything, from shirts to dresses. This season wear your turtle neck under a chunkier sweater or jacket. Imagine your turtle neck as a canvas, and build your outfit around it.

]]>What to Consider
When buying a wool sweater, the best thing to check is the fiber content—you want to find a piece that is made of 100 percent wool as it regulates your temperature and keeps you both warm and cool. Pure wool also doesn’t shed in the wash and lasts for a long time, making them genuinely sustainable over other synthetic materials.
Types of Wool
There are four types of wool choose from. Merino wool is thinner and softer than most types of wool, and therefore might be the most comfortable to wear. Cashmere is also super soft and fine, which is why it’s considered the most luxurious of wools (and has a luxurious price tag too). Mohair wool comes from angora goats and is used in light and fluffy knitwear. And lastly, Swedish wool has many variations, with some sweaters having coarser wool, while others are long and lustrous.
How to Care for Wool
If you want your garment to last a long time, you do not need to wash it so often. Instead, use a garment freshening spray or even hang your sweater in the bathroom whilst you shower so the steam freshens it up. Most washing machines have a ‘wool setting’ so check the washing instructions on the sweater’s label to see what method of washing is best.

]]>Merino Wool
Merino wool socks and base layers should form the foundation of your cold weather outfits. It’s lightweight, super cozy and moisture-wicking. Not a fan of wool next your skin? Don’t worry—merino wool is much finer and softer than regular wool, and it’s not itchy at all!
Layers Layers Layers
Layers are a great way to keep well insulated, because warm air stays trapped in between each layer. It also means you can easily cool down when moving between different temperatures. Choose snug but not tight layers to allow air to circulate.
Down Jacket
Down jackets (or synthetic insulated jackets if you’re vegan) are the best outer layers for dry, cold weather. These days you can get super stylish down jackets that will keep you cozy all day long, while looking chic. Add a thin waterproof jacket on top if heading out into the rain!
Hat
You lose lots of body heat through your head, which is why you should always wear a warm hat when facing cooler climates. Choose a hat that covers your head and ears to keep you cozy and frostbite-free!

]]>Cobalt Blue
Rich and jewel-toned, cobalt blue is bright and brilliant. The color is more pigmented than royal blue and was used for centuries in Chinese porcelain. It’s the type of shade that will suit any skin tone and goes excellently with denim, white, and beige.
Fuchsia
Another pop of color this season comes in the form of fuchsia. The bright pink will make it easy to channel the Barbiecore trend which is not expected to go anywhere in light of the Barbie movie hitting cinemas next July.
Baby Pink
If brights aren’t your thing, don’t worry, because baby pink is in this season, too. The pastel hue is fuchsia’s far tamer cousin and will add a bit of sweetness to your outfit.

This winter, it’s all about bringing the bling! Metallic shades are everywhere from clothes to nails, and there is way more to choose from besides silver and gold.
