Let’s talk tights. I don’t know about you, but the first thing I want to do when it gets cold out is put on a skirt or dress…call me crazy, but there’s nothing cuter than a skirt or dress paired with a trench, a sweater, and some cute tights. I saw this outfit on TikTok and it is life-changing: take a pair of skin-colored fleece tights and simply put your sheer tights over them. That’s it! Stay warm and rock that skirt.

Here are some fleece tights to keep you cozy:

Style Tip #2: Utilize Patterns

My next style tip is all about patterns. We love the idea of adding a pattern to your outfit, whether that be via sweater or overcoat. By putting together a minimal look with one item that stands out, you’ll look elevated and allow your own personality to shine through. We found some great options that will keep you warm and upgrade your look.

Style Tip #3: Accessorize!

If you aren’t into patterns, try going for a monochromatic look with a pop of color. A pop of color can be as simple as a hint of brown or as bold as a bright red. Wearing a monochromatic look is sure to make you look fashionable any time of the year, and adding a pop of color makes you look like you know what you’re doing. Adding a subtle pop in your accessories is the best way to achieve this.
