Although it was nearly 70 degrees this past weekend, the cold weather is in full effect. It is officially “cuffing season” as many people call it and just because it is now chilly doesn’t mean the romance has to stop. My friend, and fellow blogger, Melissa over at Amour and Apparel gave 6 awesome winter date ideas and I have the outfits to compliment them!
When it comes to dressing for chilly temperatures the key is too layer, especially if you are doing outdoor activities like ice skating or window shopping- during the holidays. Then you may have those warm and cozy dates where you just need a great jacket and a great dress. So here are some outfit ideas for those chilly winter days that can keep things a little spicy.
Look #1- Leggings, oversized sweater, lace up boots, winter coat, scarf and gloves
This look is relaxed yet stylish. Instead of going for traditional black leggings, try a pair of knit leggings in a novelty print (with snowflakes) or a geometric pattern. Pair with an oversized sweater that can be belted to cinch your waist, ankle boots, and a cute coat and you are read to go. Make sure that your hat, scarf, and gloves bold, to brighten up the dreary winter days. You can reverse this look by wearing a solid color bottom and printed sweater on top.
Look #2- Sweater dress, tights, knee boots, faux fur vest
This look is sexy yet chic. Rock a sweater dress with a faux fur vest or even a blazer for a more polished look. Because it is chilly always wear tights and for more warmth, opt for a knee-high boot or over the knee boot instead of pumps or ankle booties. This look is perfect if you are going to see a play or having dinner and drinks. You can opt for a sheath dress, paired with a long sleeve shirt and a vest if sweater dresses aren’t your thing. Make sure you add a pop of color and your evening bag is the perfect accessory to complete the look.
Look #3- winter shorts, patterned tights, over-the-knee boots, novelty sweater, bowler hat, satchel handbag.
This look is for the fun dates. If you are going to shoot pool, bowl, or even catch a movie have fun and put your jeans away. Choose a pair of shorts in a heavier material and pair with your favorite patterned or colored tights. Heels aren’t always a requirement so rock a pair of the over-the-knee riding boots with your favorite sweater to complete this look.
Look #4: skater skirt, pussy-bow blouse, ankle boots, envelope clutch, wool coat
This look is for elegant and sophisticated. Skater skirts are so versatile. They can be worn with t-shirts, blouses, denim shirts, or even sweaters. For this look, I paired the skater skirt with an embellished pussy-bow blouse to add a little femininity without the sex appeal overkill. This look is great for wine tasting.
If you want to snuggle and get close to your date, go for a sweater in a light weight material so that you won’t feel too hot and stuffy, making it uncomfortable for you to get close.
These are just a few outfit ideas. All looks can be altered, swap out leggings for jeans or shorts for a skirt. Just make sure you are comfortable!
