Tops

• The best fashion idea for winter is to layer clothing. This will help you stay warm outside, and give you some flexibility when the heat is blazing in your office or you are on the dance floor at a warm club. Cardigans are popular and versatile in the winter months. They come in a variety of materials, so you can dress them up or down with accessories and shoes. There are many cardigan styles, such as zip up, open front, button up and tie front. Wear a short sleeved shirt beneath so you can remove the cardigan when you get warm.
  Another cold weather layering must have is a blazer. Blazers aren't just for suits. They come in every shape, size, fabric and color. You can wear a blazer to the office with wool pants, or in the evening with a pair of jeans to look fashionable and stay warm. Throw a blazer on top of a plain long-sleeved shirt or sweater, and you will automatically look more stylish and feel much warmer.
  
  

Bottoms

• For winter fashion, choose pants that are made of a heavier material, such as thicker jeans or wool pants. In extreme climates, you can layer on the bottom as well with long underwear, tights, leggings or pantyhose. No one will even know you have them on, and you'll be more comfortable. Go for darker colors, such as blacks, browns and darker denims.
  Most people only think of wearing pants in the winter, such as jeans and trousers. However, skirts and dresses can be just as warm in the winter, if worn properly. By covering your legs with tights and leggings, you can wear dresses year-round. You can also layer tights for more warmth.
  
  

Footwear

• Boots are a good investment for every winter. Boots will never go out of style, because they are so practical. When choosing boots, consider the heel height and width, as well as the traction on the bottom. Walking in icy conditions can be difficult in tall heels or with slick soles. You can wear dressy boots under jeans or trousers for a sleek, professional look, or you can buy more casual, looser boots to wear on top of your jeans. Boots can also look good with tights and skirts or dresses. Try some knee-length boots with a short skirt and opaque tights for a snappy winter look.
  Other types of winter shoes include sturdy, closed toe styles that fall higher on the foot so you can protect yourself from ice and other wet conditions.
  
  

Accessories

• Winter accessories are the key to changing your look without overspending. Add a scarf to any outfit to dress it up, while at the same time keeping your neck warm. New styles of winter hats come out every season in different colors. A cute beret or stocking hat can add a whole new twist to an ensemble. To minimize the bulkiness of winter clothing, notch a belt around your waist. Not only will it make you look more defined, it will hug the clothes closer to your body for warmth.
