Dressing well in winter can be so dull, after all so often winter collections are all about shapeless jumpers and being bundled in unflattering coats.  Even more so when you’re dressing for a day at the office.  Too often we fall back on boring winter staples and merely look ahead to spring.  This article will help you get back your winter style and spruce up your office wardrobe for the cold weeks ahead.

Layering
The key to dressing well in winter whilst still keeping warm is without a doubt layering.  It’s the perfect way to be cool enough in the office, toasty when you’re outside and ready for anything whilst still looking super stylish.

You can still wear a stunning silk blouse to the office, you may think it’ll be too cold but just add a gorgeous cashmere cardigan for inside wear.  Then a tailored coat for when you’re heading out.

Jumpers
If the weather simply demands a jumper (and we must admit, they can be cozy) then choose an on trend smart style like an knit poncho, or a nipped in look with a slim fitting round neck.  Perfect with those wide leg trousers and your favorite statement heels!

Pick your fabrics
There’s no time like winter for adding a little luxury to your wardrobe.  Wool skirts, cashmere knits and oh so soft pashminas are all ideal for keeping you warm and getting that sumptuous winter style.  Accessories are the perfect way to complete your look, keep warm and get your style just perfect.  Add a stunning beret or beanie hat for your trip to the office to guarantee your winter chic whether inside the office, or on your way.

There’s no need to get in a fashion slump just because it’s cold outside.  There are so many ways to look stylish and feel fantastic this winter, it’s all about how you wear it.

If you are feeling stuck in your same old style routine, there are a number of ways that accessories can change your look this winter.  The new fashions tend to all have one thing in common – they offer creativity.  Just a few small creative changes to your normal wardrobe can turn you into a fashionista in no time and many of these accessories are very affordable.  Have a look at some of these easy ways that you can update your outfits this winter by adding just a few minor accessories.

Jewelry

What could be more simple than jewelry to spice up an outfit?  Adding just a few key pieces can completely change how an outfit looks and feels.  Styles that are popular for winter include statement-making jewelry in a sparkly, bright color palette.

Consider designs that you might otherwise overlook to be really creative.  The key is to find a new style that works for you and will allow you to enhance the way your wardrobe looks.  Take some time and see what is new for winter and experiment with styles that you have never worn before.

Sleeveless trench coats score high on our style radar.  The word “sleeveless” seems out of place in cold seasons but a sleeveless trench is a great piece to enjoy year-round.  We are glad to see the trend continuing as it’s a flattering and wearable style to work with.

We love how sleeveless trench coats can effortlessly pull off the color-block look.  Wear it as a dress or throw it over just about any top or dress – perfect fall combinations!

And how about over a leather jacket to get that leather-sleeve Burberry trench look?  Since it’s lightweight, wear it under a long coat for a fun layered look this winter.

We were ecstatic to stumble across this sassy sleeveless trench at such an amazing sale price for only $67 $314!  Get one while you can, you won’t regret it especially at this great value!

Here are a few of our favorite ensembles to draw inspiration from.

Do you have an office holiday party you are planning on attending this year?  Maybe even a cocktail party with colleagues that you have been invited to but not sure what to wear?  Whatever the office soiree is coming your way, ’tis the time to bring out the glam in you and celebrate in style!  Finding that fabulous dress is essential but it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.  For young working ladies or interns, certain prom dresses from places like David’s Bridal can be ideal for formal gatherings.  With the right accessories, you can even re-work going out dresses to give them more of a holiday flair.  Or, take a look at some fashionable celebrities for inspiration.  And we did just that.

Our latest style inspiration comes from actress Krysten Ritter.  Here we translated her chic outfit into an office party look with a similar teal dress and leopard cap-toe pumps.  A faux fur jacket, beaded clutch and sparkly earrings make the whole outfit a party-ready ensemble.

Stay tuned for more work party looks to come!
