Skirts are the quintessence of femininity but wearing them in winter can freeze rather than enhance. Choosing the right skirt and accompanying it with accessories will allow you to stay warm while being fashionable.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Choose the right skirt
The most suitable ones are of warm fabric and have a simple pattern.
Step 1. Choose a skirt of heavy material
The light one is not ideal and will only make you feel cold. Go for something heavy like wool, jeans, leather, and heavy cotton or polyester blends. Instead, avoid lightweight polyester, satin, and silk.
Step 2. Decide on the length
You can choose any one but some will require you to cover more.
- Choose a maxi skirt to have no problems. Many maxi skirts can be worn with little if any leg protection. Choose a skirt that extends from the mid-calf to the ankle. The longer ones keep warm but if they are too long they will touch the ground getting dirty and wet.
- Knee-length skirts are ideal for flexibility. They can give you a professional, trendy or flirty look depending on which accessories you pull together. You will need to keep your legs warm.
- Choose a mini for a chic look. In winter the minis seem to defy common sense. So by wearing one you will have a refined look. Combining the skirt with suitable stockings will keep you warm and fashionable.
Step 3. Look for the right fantasy
- Dark colors work best as high-impact patterns as long as they're not too flashy.
- Look for geometric shapes, stripes and lumberjack-style prints.
- Avoid floral designs that evoke spring and summer.
- Also avoid pastel colors like turquoise and coral which are synonymous with summer.
Method 2 of 3: Cover your legs
Covering your legs is vital as it will keep you from getting cold and sick.
Step 1. Nylon stockings
They go well with any length and you can always change the style by altering the color.
- To stand out, black stockings. If you have a classic skirt, black stockings will give you a professional yet trendy look. If you have a short skirt, black stockings can be both a practical fashion accessory that will slim your legs.
- If in doubt, wear a neutral color. If you feel that black is not suitable for your skirt or what you match, go for a nude color. Neutral or nude stockings keep your legs warm and go with any style, from classic to sexy.
- Cover your skin. Wearing nylon stockings essentially serves to keep your legs out of the wind and cold. When wearing a maxi skirt, knee-high socks are an option, while you should wear tights if you choose a mini. Some knee-length skirts are long enough to fit knee-high socks, but most require long tights. Just make sure the top of the tights remains tucked under the skirt.
Step 2. Put on the leggings
Leggings stand out more than regular stockings but keep you warm and are in fashion. Most are made of cotton, polyester or spandex. You can find them in various colors so choose the ones that go best with the skirts but you can choose more daring ones to have a crazier look.
Step 3. Put on some jeans
If you're wearing a full skirt, you might as well put some blue jeans underneath it. Obviously this is just a creative look.
Step 4. Put on knee or thigh socks
They are young and fun. Those that reach the thigh are more comfortable and cover more.
- Choose a solid color if you wear a patterned skirt or a diamond pattern if the skirt has a bold pattern.
- You can show the top of the stockings or hide it under the skirt but usually these stockings do not go well with extremely short skirts.
Method 3 of 3: Choose the rest of the clothing
A warm top and a heavy top will help fight the cold that will feel with the skirt.
Step 1. Choose the suitable top
The warmer and warmer you will feel.
- Long sleeves. Sweaters are usually the best choice if the skirt is made of heavy material such as wool or jeans.
- Alternatively, you can combine short sleeves with a cardigan and other options to stay even warmer.
Step 2. Choose what you will wear on top
You may have to go out sooner or later. When it does, you'll need to stay warm without sacrificing style.
- Wear a warm coat. Stay true to style but make sure you stay warm. Fitted worsted wool coats are the best option if you have any.
- Keep your head warm. You don't necessarily have to have a heavy hat, even a knitted one can be for you for a casual look. A cap is an option for a more sophisticated look, ear flaps will help keep you warm without ruining your hair.
- Add a scarf. While not essential scarves are in fashion, they add an extra touch to the look as well as keep you warm.
Step 3. Choose the right footwear
Most snow boots are made for practicality and not for fashion. Choose winter boots with heels if the regular ones look ugly to you.
- An ankle boot goes well with both maxi and knee-length skirts.
- Boots that reach mid-calf or knee-length go well with any winter skirt.
Advice
- Don't fight against the fact that it's winter. Avoid exposing too much skin, especially if you plan to be outside for a long time.
- Try a pencil skirt. Being tighter it should keep warmer than a wide one!
