When it comes to wintertime fashions, there is often a larger sense of practicality built in than summer oriented creations. That’s simple; fending off the bite of winter is important to maintain health. Summer allows for much more extravagance with no side effects such as flu or otherwise as the result. All of which is not to say that winter fashions aren’t colorful, creative, and reflective of the person who wears them.
In fact, some would argue that winter affords them more opportunities to show their fashion side. That’s because they can add layer upon layer to their ensemble. Also, accessories such as scarves, hats, and gloves can afford more fashion display opportunities than do summer outfits, which almost require more bare skin than accessorizing. There’s simply no worry about loading down too much with winter accessories, as the heat – and resultant perspiration – won’t get in the way of your ensemble.
If this seems like an ode to winter fashion, it is. Places like Finland and Russia have provided the impetus for fashionable winter wear, as their climates are so chilly on the average, yet their populace so fashion forward. Drawing from these places for cutting edge looks brings in the suit coat paired with a pair of jeans, with a scarf tied jauntily and tucked into the coat. Pointy shoes, a dapper hat, big belt, and a pair of lambskin gloves round out a completely contemporary look. And it’s a look that, coupled with the colors and bold patterns that catch your eye, will keep you from developing any unwanted sniffles!
