As the winter season rolls around, many look forward to pulling out their cozy, fashionable winter pieces. Although the winter is chilly in Minnesota, many enjoy being able to wear their comfy, cute clothes for a few months out of the year.
Some may say that the winter weather can be tough to dress cute and warm, yet many have found ways to incorporate both style and comfort. Various clothing items are cute and get the job done, but it is the search that is tricky to find them. “I like to wear fleeces because they’re warm and look good with jeans or leggings,” Fashion Club Member Mollie Mathwig said.
The trick to making an outfit look good while also being affordable is finding stores that carry items that can do both. Being able to find brands that make their clothes stylish and essential to survive the winter cold isn’t as hard to find as it may seem. “I buy most of my winter clothes from Brandy Melville, Free People, and Aritzia,” senior Anna Brown said.
Many students have staples in their closets that they wear with every outfit to style it up. Even having just a few clothing items that go with every outfit you can wear each season is something many have found to be helpful. “My favorite piece of clothing to wear is by Aritzia Super Puff because it’s comfortable and it matches with everything,” junior Mazlow Moquist said
Students have discovered that trying to find ways to have outfits simultaneously warm and cute isn’t as hard as it may seem. Many have found ways to make their outfits look chic as well as being practical. “Layering is super cute, wearing long sleeves under sweaters and having it peek out,” Mathwig said.
Students often find fashion icons that share their same style, and use the outfits they share on social media for inspiration. Getting outfit inspiration helps many figure out what to wear and wear to buy specific pieces. “I get a lot of my fashion inspo from Matilda Djerf because her style is business mixed with girly,” Mathwig said.
Lots of students tend to have ‘staple outfits’ that they rotate wearing throughout the winter in different variations. Being able to find a good, fashionable outfit that they can wear constantly throughout the winter makes picking out outfits easier for many. “My favorite outfits to wear are my Uggs and jeans with a puffer,” Brown said.
