Fashion { How to Wear a Dress in Cold Weather }

When it gets cold, I stick to the same formula for an outfit: pants, a warm sweater, cute boots and accessories. Dresses are one of those things that I don’t like wearing in colder temperatures because: a) I get cold really easily; b) I find tights really uncomfortable; c) I feel like wearing a dress is a big deal (there is no logical explanation to point c so just go with it.).

In the spirit of pushing myself out of my comfort zone and wearing outfits that I usually shy away from, I decided to wear this simple long-sleeve cotton dress, and paired with the gold heel boots. I styled the look with this amazing burgundy hat that instantly elevates an outfit.

Here are a few easy tips on how to wear a dress in cold weather, which I will also be using, even though winter is coming (GoT reference anyone?):

{ Find the right tights }

I find tights uncomfortable, but these are from Primark and not only are they inexpensive, but they also hold really well so that I’m not tugging at them all the time! I love how opaque they are, and the thickness helps keep me warmer.

{ Booties }

Shoes make a huge difference in your outfit. With tights, make sure that there isn’t too much of a contrast with the color of the boots and the tights. Stick to the same tone and shade.

{ Accessories }

This is a recurring tip because it really makes a big difference in elevating an outfit. It’s as simple as putting on jewelry like cute earrings, bracelets and rings, or throwing a cute and scarf, especially to keep you warm!

Following these easy tips makes me want to wear dresses more often because if you think about it, it’s easier to throw on a dress and tights and accessorize your outfit, rather than matching your pants, top, and sweater, and all that jazz!
