Fashion & Style

Whether you live in truly cold weather in Chicago’s windy city or slightly chilly nights in California, keeping warm and looking hot is something women coast to coast want to capture, no matter where they live. Learn how to dress in layers so you’re ready for anything, vamp up the makeup and keep warm and look well, hot, despite cool temperatures.

Layer Clothing

First, you need to learn the art of layering your clothing so you’re ready for any kind of event life throws your way. Remember, skin is in all year round, even when the weather doesn’t seem to permit. You can fix this problem by doing several thin fashionable layers. Your final layer should be a cool, trendy coat. If you’re a little demure, go for a black coat with a faux fur collar to add a little excitement.

Touchable Fabrics

You want that touch-me kind of fabric, which is the basic rule of looking hot and keeping warm. Anything that feels good to touch (such as cashmere or velvet) should fill your closet during winter months. They will make you feel great and look amazing too. Don’t be afraid to show cleavage in these fabrics or to show a little skin.

Just Add Color

When I think of colors ‘I think black and red. Wearing head to toe red would even look amazing. Instead of the little black dress, go for the little red dress even in winter (just make sure your coat is warm, yet hot). This change of pace will make you look sultry, even if it’s not so hot outdoors.

Get Some Color

A tan would make the winter blues run for the door in an instant. If you can’t getaway on holiday (a.k.a. vacation), why not get the best self tanner you can find and fake it. These days, tanners are made with the best possible ingredients making you have that golden brown tan (not a dreadful orange hue). Fashion tip: Put your tan to work with a winter white sweater and you’ll have the stay warm, look hot motto down.

Sexy Makeup

Without sultry makeup, what would most women do during the coldest of seasons? Good question. To keep looking hot, without breaking the bank with a wardrobe full of new clothes, you must master the smoky eyes with liner, full lashes and gray shadows. This look will make you look hot no matter what.

Stunning accessories

If you’re used to always wearing black, as many of us do. Throw on a colorful sexy handbag. Why not try it in a sexy fabric like purple or green velvet. Earrings should be long and dangle to mid-neck. Anything you can do to draw attention to the face is a must, since you’re all covered up everywhere else. If you’re showing more skin, try a gorgeous delicate necklace strategically placed to draw attention to your collarbones. Gold jewelry always looks stunning with skin.

With these tips, you will nail down the philosophy of looking hot, while keeping warm. Just remember to be yourself, only sexier. Not only will it be easier to get through those cold months, but also you’ll find that you try harder to look better all year round. And, nothing beats that.
