Well hello there! It’s so hard to believe it’s been nearly three years since my last blog post. So much has happened in that time — I found out I was pregnant and now have a two year old son! I’ve just recently felt ready to get back into content creation. Talking and writing about fashion and style is one of my biggest hobbies, and I’m glad to pick it back up. I’ve been pretty active on Instagram the last few months, so be sure to follow me there if you don’t already!
Alright, now let’s get into these steps to elevate your winter outfits!
I’ve found that in Fall and Winter, I often reach for a pair of jeans and a sweater for a casual outfit. However, these outfits can feel so plain and uninteresting, so I’ve come up with these three ingenious steps that will bring any simple outfit to life.
1. Add a layer under your sweater
There are so many ways to do this; for example, a t-shirt, a collared shirt, or a turtleneck. No matter what you choose, this adds dimension and visual interest to your look. Take a look at these examples below from Pinterest. Each outfit is so different, but the shirt layered beneath the sweater adds needed interest to each look. Notice that the shirt underneath does not need to be white!
2. Add a layer (or more) on top of your sweater
Not only does this help to keep you warm during the cold weather months, but again layering adds beautiful depth to an outfit. A blazer or coat might seem like the obvious choice, but a scarf (I love a large chunky scarf or a dainty silk scarf!) or another sweater tied over your shoulders are great options, too. Check out these Pinterest inspiration photos.
3. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
And when you feel like you’ve accessorized enough, add one more piece! This step is critical to making your outfit look intentional and pulled together. Necklaces, hair bows, statement earrings, bags — let your personality shine through your accessories. See below pictures for Pinterest inspo; I’m especially obsessed with cuffs/bangles layered over the sweater sleeve.
And there you have it — Three simple steps to elevate your winter outfits!
The best part is that these steps allow you to style the same sweater and jeans in so many different ways, all with items you already own. We are in our low buy era in 2025!
