Cold weather doesn’t have to limit your choice of clothing. There are a variety of single and matching pieces offering style and warmth. Personally, I love the transition of fabrics and textures as we enter the colder months.
The one place I struggle when choosing cute outfits for cold weather is shape. I don’t want to get lost in thick baggy material. Fortunately, I’ve come to discover that cold-weather clothing doesn’t need to be big to be effective.
