How to keep warm this Christmas- Fashionably

How to keep warm this winter- Fashionably.

Despite the freezing sub zero degrees outside, there's no need to get dressed up as the Michellin in order to stay warm! Here are my methods of keeping hot in all kinds of weather- rain, snow or hail. There's no need to sacrifice your style or comfort this Christmas, you can brace through the chilly weather while still looking hot.



Layer your clothing



Start off with a simple tank top, followed by a thin shirt and then a stylish sweater. Top that off with a gorgeous wool or cotton coat and you're ready to go!
This combo can easily be mixed and matched or multiplied. Remember when layering, there is no need to bulk up with thick and uncomfortable fabrics. Your first layer should always be a light, breathable fabric like silk or synthetics.
The great thing about layering is if the weather changes, you can always take off excess layers until you feel comfortable. Suffocating in your huge knitted cashmere sweater because you didn't anticipate that the mall had heaters is not a good way to go.


Wear accessories




Soft, thick, warm scarves . Adorable knitted hats. Cozy, toasty warm gloves. Sparkly statement jewelery.
What do they all have in common?
They are practical and stylish ways to keep you warm in those sub-zero temperatures.
Not the jewelery but they do help spice up an otherwise boring outfit.


Avoid Cotton



Cotton absorbs moisture (like sweat) which in turn, will make you cold. It loses all of it's insulating abilities as soon as it even gets slightly damp! This in turn may lead to you catching a whole bunch of diseases due to lack of warmth. Stay away from cotton gloves, scarves, socks and hats. Stick to wool or synthetics.


Layers on legs

There is a limited amount of clothing that can be used to clothe the legs warmly, unlike the torso. For the really cold days, try this method to protect your lower half!
Start off this thermal underwear (or skip this step if you wish o-o), followed by a pair of thick leggings! Wear skinny dark wash jeans on top of this combo and pull a pair of baggy sweatpants over. This should effectively trap all the heat escaping from your body and make you feel toasty warm!


Gloves and boots

Boots are comfy, stylish, toasty warm and totally chic. These are must-haves for every single girl. Invest in a good, durable pair that will last you through rain, mud and snow and lasts a long time. However for the winter season, avoid the shoes that are merely for 'looks' or those that are suitable only for sunnier times.
Avoid boots with heel and ones with slippery soles. The best winter shoes are waterproof, lined with sheepskin and are wide enough to stuff jeans through.
Suede boots are adorable and add a hint of femininity to the otherwise 'army like' shoe. However the color fades when wet and they don't stand a chance against slushy snow and rain. Leather boots may be more practical in rainy weather. And they're totally classic and won't go out of style!




For winter gloves, ditch the knitted mittens that a child might wear for a afterschool snowball fight. Those are pathetic. Water seeps through them and they cannot keep your fingers warm during a chill.
Leather gloves lined with (faux) fur or wool is a handy alternative. Cashmere or pashmina is a expensive yet luxurious way of keeping your fingers cozy.


Cuddle up



Get together with a loved one/pet underneath some warm sheets and enjoy the corny and cliched Christmas movies that are playing on TV.
