The struggle of getting dressed in the winter seems to be a daunting task, but your fashion taste doesn’t have to suffer during the colder months ahead. Many fashionistas are saying ‘crawl out of bed and get excited about the freezing temps’ because these winter trends will help you beat the winter blues.
- Staying neutral: The gray skies and white snow might make you question this trend, but neutral colors are on a trend right now. Mix shades of whites and nudes to complement the minimalist winter trend.
- Gray is the ‘it’ color: For men, the color gray is the hottest color of the freezing temperatures. Mix and match different hues or wear the same hue if you’re feeling bold.
- Chunky scarves: Scarves are the go-to accessories for the colder months. Chunky and colorful blanket scarves are easy to throw on, as well as giving your outfit a pop of color and coziness.
- Sweater weather: Sweaters are an obvious choice for winter. Brighten up the season with a graphic image or a fun saying on your chunky sweater.
- Printed coats: Make a statement with a cozy, printed coat for the cold days. Throw the eye-catching coat over an easy outfit to make your look stand out, while also being warm.
- Oversized outerwear for men: Guys, your cozy coat look is about giving an oversized vibe. Whether it’s double-breasted or single, the shape of the coat should be relaxed.
- High waisted, mid-calf skirts: For a more high-class look, you can pair a cropped sweater of a high-waisted skirt. Glamour magazine chose either a tulle skirt or denim blue mid calf skirt.
- High knee boots: We can’t forget about boots. Knee-high boots are making a statement this winter. Not only do they provide coverage for most of your leg, but also you can dress them up or dress them down.
- The turtleneck: What more can you say about cozying up in winter in a big oversized turtleneck sweater. Simple black is always the best way to go when wearing this much-needed winter staple.
- Military trend: For girls and guys, remember the military trend a few seasons ago, well now it’s back. Navy blue jackets and linear lines with gold accents are the way to standout during the gloomy winter days.
With finals coming up, it’s easy to want to roll out of bed and throw on some sweat pants, but Sinclair students are staying hot during these frigid temperatures. Ivan Chan, Business major at Sinclair, said his go-to item is collared shirts.
“My style is clean and casual,” Chan said.
Along with Chan, who doesn’t look for inspiration when he’s dressing for the day, Fedaa Shalash said the same thing.
“I don’t follow up on that stuff—I just dress for whatever my mood is that day,” Shalash said.
Marketing major, Dani Richards said that although she gets some inspiration from street style, she also follows the beat of her own drum.
“I feel like I have my own style. I literally just thrift all the time,” Richards said.
Maria Kididis, Mortuary Science major, agreed with Gabriel Lombardo, Psychology major, about how difficult it is to pinpoint what their style is.
“I find a lot of inspiration on my Pinterest, but I don’t really have a specific style,” Kididis said. “I’d say ‘Maria style’,” Lombardo added.
Finding inspiration for Lombardo comes easy to him because he says he just has to look in his closet.
“That’s a difficult question to describe my style, but I would probably say my style is urban chic,” Lombardo said.
Sinclair students are still finding ways to study in style, even with the stress of finals coming up and the temperature going down. Don’t let the winter blues get the best of you, stay warm with these hot winter trends.
