How to Layer Up for a Stylish and Warm Winter!

Visualize this: A cold winter night, sitting by a bonfire sipping on some hot coffee or brandy, or a cosy evening spent on a warm couch reading a book, small clouds of mist emanating from your mouth when you speak, or the irresistible smell of a sizzling barbecue. Now also visualize the winter wardrobe of your dreams: Uber stylish faux fur jackets, snuggly fleece jumpers, warm woollen scarves, Burberry trench coats, knee high boots, cutesy gloves, socks and the works.

Reality check: You live in a city that gets about 5 degrees cooler than summer during this so-called ‘winter’. Or you live in northern India where your style quotient drops along with the temperature. You’ve gone from sleek summery jumpsuits to bulky, shapeless sweaters that add about 5 kilos to your frame. But that fashion magazine-style winter of your dreams is a possibility. With the help of our shopping guide, of course – one in which we’ve put together the best winter wear on offer this season. Read on to assemble your very own wardrobe of stylish winter wear. Yes, Christmas has come early this year. Ho ho ho!

Military Mod

Stylish Winter Wear

Think of a swanky army girl and nod to military-inspired fashion this winter. Dress in jackets featuring multiple zippers, lapels and OTT gold buttons. Khakis and military prints rock too. While green is the commanding colour of this battalion, you can experiment with beige, tan and similar hues as well. Zovi’s Green Military Print Casual Jacket (Rs. 899) and Mojo Cream Military Jacket (Rs. 3,200) are great options. Mango’s Military Textured Gilet (Rs. 5,590) will earn you some major style stripes.
