How To Stay Warm When Wearing Dresses In Winter

'Tis the season, as they say

'Tis the season, as they say. The season of parties, gatherings, and celebrations on all fronts. It seems that every year as the festivities begin, the cold settles in--rain, sleet, snow, and frigid temperatures. There's something cosy about nasty weather, making you want to don those well-worn flannel pyjamas, and slip under the weight of a blanket with a good novel for the evening. Unfortunately, those beautiful holiday dresses are hanging in your closet demanding to be worn. Save the novel and flannel for later, and heed the following advice to stay warm in the most stylish way.

When you shop this year for those party dresses, think logically instead of being immediately drawn to the mini, spaghetti strap number clinging dangerously to the store mannequin's non-existent curves. If you aren't comfortable in the outfit you wear, you will never be able to devote adequate attention to that cute guy in accounting you haven't had the chance to introduce yourself to. Start by thinking about the material. Avoid thin materials that will have you shivering the night away. Instead, opt for thicker materials, such as a wool blend or a sweater dress.

It is wise to avoid short, mini dresses during the winter. They just seem a bit out of place when the snow is falling and gale force winds are blowing. You might be sending the message that you crave attention, or that you don't know how to dress for the season. Try some longer lengths, which will also keep you much warmer in cold temperatures. Knee length dresses are still attractive, and those super long maxi dresses are very much in style making them a sure hit for fashion and function.

When pairing your dress with the perfect shoe, don't forget about boots. Boots are perfect for the holiday season, and come in a variety of attractive styles. You can opt for heels or flats, knee-high or ankle-high, and a variety of materials. Many boots are fur-lined, which could be a warm and stylish option when worn with a sweater dress, or a wool skirt.

As you're heading out the door, remember there are also stylish options for coats. You might look a bit silly if you grab your ski jacket to cover up your festive holiday outfit. A beautiful wool or knit wrap is elegant, stylish, and it almost gives you that hunkering-under-a-blanket feel you so desire. Faux fur is a fun trend this season that will keep you comfortable. Long wool or fleece trench coats and pea coats also cover you well, keeping you warm as you trot from the car to the party.

Consider tights for underneath, bringing you to the next level in warmth compared to bare legs or panty hose. Tights come in wide range of thicknesses. Finally, if you have long hair, keep it styled down to cover your neck which will keep in any heat wishing to escape into the night. Perhaps a stylish scarf would do the trick for shorter hair styles.
