Golden Rules to Help You Mix and Match Winter Outfits to Stay Warm

To conquer women's winter fashion, you not only need to choose the right item but also master the basic principles of outfit coordination. The following tips will help you create women's winter outfits that are warm, comfortable and extremely fashionable.

Layering: Wear Many Layers Without Worrying About Bulging

Layering is the way to wear many layers of clothing is the golden key to keep warm effectively and still stylish in winter. Instead of choosing a very thick coat, layering technique helps you flexibly adjust the warmth depending on the environmental temperature and create interesting highlights for the outfit. The classic 3-layer rule is:

• Inner layer: is the layer of clothing that comes into direct contact with the skin. Its main function is to release moisture, keeping the body dry. Prioritize thin, light, stretchy, sweat-absorbent, and quick-drying materials such as Supima cotton - a premium cotton with long fibers, softer and more durable than regular cotton, modal, or specialized synthetic fabrics. Thermal shirts are the perfect choice for this layer.
• Middle layer: This layer plays the role of keeping the body warm and insulating. Ideal materials are wool, cashmere, cotton felt, fleece, or faux fur, which are light and warm. The thickness of this layer depends on the weather and the outer layer you choose. A sweater, sweatshirt, hoodie, cardigan, or a thick shirt can all do this role well.
• Outer layer: The outermost layer of clothing, which has the effect of blocking wind, being slightly waterproof, and completing the style. Depending on the situation and weather, you can choose a wool coat, down jacket, windbreaker, leather jacket, thick blazer...

Tips for layering without bulk:

• Choose items with increasing thickness from inside to outside.
• Prioritize thin, light inner layers that are highly effective in keeping warm.
• Coordinate colors harmoniously between layers to create a beautiful overall look. Avoid layers that are too loose and overlapping.

Prioritize Wool, Felt, and Twill Materials

Material is the deciding factor in how warm an outfit is. In winter, prioritize the following materials:

• Wool: Diverse from warm sheep wool, soft cashmere, to easy-to-maintain synthetic wool. Sweaters are an indispensable item. Choose thick wool for a coat or middle layer, thin, smooth wool for a base layer or middle layer that needs to be neat. Some good quality wools are also less fuzzy.
• Felt: Thick material, holds shape, good wind protection, brings elegance and luxury. Wool coats are a symbol of winter. Tweed wool is especially loved for its luxurious and classic look.
• Felt: Soft felt, keeps warm well, brings a comfortable feeling. Thick cotton felt is warm, fish skin felt is more breathable. Suitable for hoodies, sweatshirts, jogger pants.
• Down jacket: Usually made from a light waterproof outer layer and an inner layer of feathers or super light synthetic cotton, high heat retention. Down jackets are a great choice for cold winter days.

Tweed fabric has good heat retention and brings elegance to the wearer.

The Secret to Balancing Outfit Proportions

Wearing layers of winter clothes can easily make you look bigger if you don't know how to balance the proportions. Apply the following compensation rule to hack your figure:

• If you are wearing an oversized sweater or loose-fitting jacket, pair it with skinny pants/leggings or a tight skirt.
• If you are wearing wide-leg pants or a flared skirt, choose a slim-fit sweater/T-shirt or tuck it in neatly.

Don't forget to accentuate your waist to create a slimmer look. Wear a small belt over your sweater or cardigan. Choose a shirt or skirt with a waist detail, or simply tucking your shirt into your pants or skirt can make a difference.

The length of your jacket, pants, and skirt is also important. Those of you who are short should avoid jackets that are too long or pants/skirts that fall just above your calves, as they will make you look shorter. Match your outfit to your body shape to highlight your strengths!

The latest Fall Winter color trend also has the rise of gentle pastel colors like pink, mint green, bringing a fresh look to winter days. A safe and effective way to combine colors is to choose tone-sur-tone outfits or combine neutral color items with a bright colored item as an accent.

How many layers of clothing should I wear in winter to keep warm without feeling bulky?

Usually, applying the layering rule of 2-3 layers is enough to keep you warm and comfortable. The important thing is to choose the right material for each layer. Choosing layers that are not too thick but have high heat retention will help you avoid feeling bulky. This is the key layering technique instead of just focusing on wearing many layers of clothes.

• Wear a long, straight coat that reaches past the hips/thighs to help the overall look look neater.

What shoes to wear in winter to keep your feet warm and fashionable?

Here are some options you can consider:

• Women's boots: Genuine leather, suede, fur-lined boots are better. Both short and high-neck boots are fashionable and warm.
• Sneakers: Choose high-neck or thick materials such as leather, thick canvas. Remember to combine with wool socks/thick socks to keep warm.

How to choose a sweater that does not pill quickly?

To keep your favorite sweater durable, beautiful and less pilling, please note:

• Check the weave: Choose a sweater that is tightly woven, has even fibers, a smooth surface, and is not easily seen with loose wool fibers.
• Most importantly, care: Hand wash gently with cold water and a shampoo/detergent specifically for wool. If machine washing, use a laundry bag and select a gentle cycle. Dry the sweater by laying it flat, avoiding hanging it on a hanger as this will cause it to stretch.
