Beating the Winter Blues

Hey girls! I know it's Summer here in the Philippines but to my friends out there in the US I know there are months when you are fighting the dreadful wind and sleet. With this in mind, wrapping up warm is essential.

Ladies’ duffle coats certainly come in handy when you’re faced with a wintery chill. Many of the more contemporary styles are slim fitting and some even have faux fur trimmed hoods – a welcome asset when braving the cold. These on-trend styles can be found at a number of highstreet and online stores, including that of Superdry from very.co.uk.

Other clothing essentials that come in handy when it’s cold outside include hooded jumpers, windcheaters, windbombers and gilets.  The gilet is most definitely a winter essential but can also be worn all year round. When it’s a little warmer, simply team with a short sleeved T-shirt and when colder, layer over a hooded sweatshirt. Many of today’s gilets boast hoods complete with drawstring tighteners, which certainly come in handy when you don’t have an umbrella!

  
 

The beauty of 2013’s existing trends is the fact that they boast a range of vivid hues. Usually our winter wardrobes consist solely of blacks and greys but this year designers have predicted a little more colour – look out for shades of purple, pink, blue, orange and green.

If you think these vibrant tones might be a little too much, add a subtler hint of colour here and there with the likes of a scarf, a pair of gloves or a statement hat.

 

Although many of us tend to pile the layers on during the colder months, it doesn’t have to leave you looking too bulky. Jeans combined with vintage hoodies and gilets not only keep you warm, they do it in a stylish way. When the weather starts looking up a little, simply remove the gilet.

Hooded sweatshirts are a great addition to everyone’s wardrobe - both male and female. There are a number of hooded styles available, many of which come in a range of tones. This chic classic is certainly one way to add a splash of colour to an otherwise simple outfit, which in turn makes it a wardrobe staple.
