Brrrrrrrr! An early 2013 cold snap means
that there’s no sign of being able to pack those winter clothes away and look
forward to the new spring/summer fashions. Never fear, you can still have fun
with fashion, even if you need to consider the cold for a little bit longer.
Freshen up your style with new ways to wear
your warm winter wardrobe in 2013:
1.Fun
The fun statement jumper is a sure fire way
to brighten up dreary January and February days. Why not try the ultra trendy
sports luxe look by pairing leggings with sporty jumpers
like the George Hooded Knit Jumper in navy. Fluro colours work especially well with the
sports luxe trend, if you’re brave enough! The Graduate
Fashion Week Neon Knit Jumper in lime is a great buy at the moment – half
price at just £8!
Don’t forget your essential 2013 footwear –
the
wedge hightop – and you’re good to go, whether heading out and about during
the day or at night.
2.Floral
Wish spring on its way quicker with some
sweet floral knitwear. Stick with pastels for a departure from the bold florals
or ditzy prints of previous seasons, and an alternative, more romantic look.
Pastel florals go perfectly with pale denim jeans in your choice of shape.
Or, why not go for a light cream knit over
a floral tee, shirt or even a floral dress, to add warmth yet keep the look
light and airy? White converse or pastel ballet pumps are the perfect finishing
touch.
3.Studded
If you’re not really a florals kind of
girl, you can work a tougher look with studded jumpers. The G21
Stud Jumper Dress sports embellished shoulders for a subtle hint of your inner
rock chick. Team with wet look leggings and biker boots for an easy outfit that
will take you everywhere from shopping to out for drinks.
4.Textured
While colour and pattern are great, don’t
neglect thinking about texture when choosing your new year wardrobe staples.
Marl knits, mesh knits and metallic knits are ideal for incorporating some
texture into your winter outfits, and subtly freshening up your favourite
jumper/jeans combos. You can also use alternative shapes to
revamp your knitwear outfits. The waterfall shape cardigan is supremely
flattering, and looks as good with eveningwear as it does with jeans.
5.Chunky
The chunky knit is fantastic at keeping out
the cold, but it’s also as stylish as it is warm. Traditional cable knits have
made a big comeback. Choose one in an alternative colour or with added
detailing such as pockets for a great reworking of a classic. Everyone should have at least one chunky
knit cardigan in their wardrobe. This style staple will help you get wear out
of your new spring fashions early, as you can throw it on over anything for
added warmth. They also make a good alternative to a coat when the transitional
weather comes in. Why not wear a longline chunky knit with a belt to pull in
that waist?
Don’t let the cold weather put you off
mixing up your style for the new year. Have some fun with jumpers and stay
stylish and warm this winter.
