How To Layer for Warmth, Not Bulk

By Diana Zarowin

Staying warm this winter doesn’t have to mean piling on unflattering layers that hide your figure and add unnecessary girth to your frame. Rather, bundle up without bulking up with these 4 style tips that will ensure you stay looking HOT even when the temperatures drop!

4 Fashionable Ways Add Warmth Without The Bulk

Put your clothes on a diet. Numerous layers of thin fabrics can actually keep you warmer than a single bulky one (it has to do with trapping the warm air between fabric!) and will earn you some serious style points too. Layer your favorite spring and summer camis, tees and blouses for all the style points, without the added bulkiness and top with a single knit to take your warm weather essentials to a new cool dimension. 

4 Unexpected Winter Trends!

Cinch it at the waist. Cardigans, tunics and jackets are sure to warm your body, but to turn up the heat on your style, pair your layered knits with a skinny belt to accentuate your waist and show off your curves.

Sock it to ‘em. Layering isn’t just for your upper body this season, so let your feet in on the action. Not only will layering knee-high socks and boots help keep your feet free from the winter chill, but also the look of your socks peaking over the lip of your boots will score you some serious style points. Feeling particularly creative? Layer two pairs of knee-high socks in contrasting colors or patterns and pull the top pair down an inch to expose the top of the pair below.

Seasonally swap. Most of us ladies have a closet full of dresses that wait around all winter to make their spring comebacks. Even if the dresses are dark winter colors, we often hesitate to break them out in the coldest of temperatures. Newsflash: you can and should! Pair dresses with sleek long cardigans, chunky faux-fur vests and opaque tights to turn your spring and summer staples into winter wonders.
