Winter Wardrobe Woes

Living in a four season climate can be a lovely thing. Experiencing the changing of the leaves, the buds budding into beautiful flowers, the smell on a warm summer's eve, and even a fresh snow fall, are things that many people savour the moments of.

When it comes to fashion, four seasons can be fantastic:
-Fall fashion is luxurious; it is filled with warm colors, rich fabrics, heavy sweaters, and leather jackets in every style, shape and color.
-Spring fashion is sexy; it is bombarded by bright colors, cooling fabrics, light scarves for every occasion and the start of shoes with no socks for 6 months.
-Summer fashion is bare-all; it means dresses for women, topless men, flip flops, sandals, and linens.
-Winter fashion is (lets face it) almost non-existent; parkas to the floor, boots and accessories to warm you up (and not match a single outfit you've got), and outfits that hardly even see the light of day outside the office.

Looking and feeling great in your clothes might seem like it is hard to pull off in the winter. But From Do's To Shoes Styling has some great tips on what you can do to make the rest of your winter the sexiest winter yet!

Tip 1: Accessories make an outfit!
This is a statement that can be applied to every season, but for winter it is especially important. Having your hat, gloves and scarf be a trio of eye-popping color, can really jazz up that parka poignancy! They don't need to all be the same color or from the same store, but a brown glove + a brown and red hat + a brown or red scarf, will make your outdoor adventures look well co-ordinated and chic.

Tip 2: Boot Boost
Most people try and stick with basic colors like winter white, black or brown. Of course, there is nothing wrong with basics, but don't be afraid to add some texture (fur, tassels etc) or to simply ditch the basics and go to greens, blues and reds for your boots. Remember though that there is a fine line between tasteful and tacky, so save the boots with the stars on them for the teens.

Tip 3: The Outfit Underneath
Every From Do's To Shoes client knows that you always feel best when you are well dressed. With that in mind, an outfit that was only half-assedly put together, will only add to those winter blues. Because it might be hard to find a head to toe outfit every day that not only keeps you warm, but also makes you feel good; we recommend that you put on a minimum of one item every day that makes you feel great. Go for the underwear that ups your sex appeal by 5%. Wear that sweater that matches your eyes. Strut in those pants that feel like butter on you. Its always hard to feel sad when you look damn good!

Tip 4: Come Out of Your Cave!
We know it is cold out, but coping with cold does not make us bears, and hibernating is not in our nature! Get out and do things in the winter so that your outfits can still be on display. Go out for dinners and drinks. When shopping, try indoor malls and carry your coat. Don't just trek from home to work and back again - your wardrobe deserves more!

By adhering to these few tips, From Do's To Shoes Styling guarantees that you will feel great in your clothing all winter long.
