There is no denying that it is no longer t-shirt weather. Well I say that, but I have lived in Canada and trust me, there are some people who will rock shorts in 20 below (yes, thats literally minus 20)
However if you are in the smart majority gearing up for a sensibly dressed winter and would like to look reasonably sexy then take a look at these catwalk style inspirations.
Just Cavalli plays with pops of colour, a bold print and an a-symmetrical cut to keep things interesting. What I like most is that the sweater is figure flattering. Pair this with some leather pants and ankle boots for a confident - too hot to handle winter look.
Alexander Wang chooses a chunky knit and plays with texture to achieve this cool look. What makes it hot though is the knee high boots and choice of skirt instead of pants. I would suggest a black leather skirt, but this is a style that can be worked with.
Balenciaga- Ok so love the high waisted pants, and love love the crop jumper. A
cropped jumper with
high waist offers a great opportunity to remind the outside world that you have a waist, and not get lost in baggy jumpers. A great tip if you're a shortie like me. Just make sure you pair with high boots to give the illusion of killer long legs.
Paul Smith employs this seasons hottest colour:
mustard. Nothing warms up a cold day like a pop of warm colour on a soft sweater. Love it.
Helmut Lang mixes fabrics and tones to achieve this gorgeous look. First, The nude colours with a nude makeup is great for a fresh and understated natural look. Secondly, pairing a baggy, fluffy sweater with a short leather skirt is a great way to achieve a chilled sexy look.
