Outfit Inspiration: 5 Winter Outfits Ideas

This post is dedicated to my plus-size sisters who may be grappling with how to stay warm and stylish without the layers adding on the pounds.
The colder months are my favourite time of year so I end up spending a lot of time putting together outfit ideas not only for myself but for you as well. I hope this post is useful to everyone looking to up their game this cold season.

Outfit 1

The best piece of advice I can give you when it comes to putting on the layers is to be wary of proportions. A cardigan/sweater worn over a fitting pair of trousers say skinny jeans or even leggings is your best bet when it comes to creating a seamless yet warm look. The beauty of this kind of outfit is that you can add your boots and look every bit the fashionista.

Outfit 2

If you still want to bring out your waterfall sweaters, wear them belted around the smallest part of your waist for a modern take on this oldie but goodie.

Outfit 3

I have met more than a few lovely ladies who wouldn't dare wear anything that is loose-fitting for fear of looking like they are bigger than they really are. In my view (and experience) this is not necessarily the case. A loose-fitting dress worn slightly above the knee when paired with stockings and heels is a very chic outfit. The extra leg you show because of the slightly shorter hemline makes you look taller hence camouflaging the fact that you are a curvier girl.

Outfit 4

Full skirts are the IT right now and don't let the dull weather force you to fold them up for warmer days. Pair your full skirt with a fitted knit top or turtleneck (don't worry these are still fashionable), add a statement necklace, dark tights and heels and you are good to go.

Outfit 5

I just had to add this outfit to this list. Trench coats can safely come out of storage and I love this flared style. I think this is a great style-option for hippier girls who might struggle with getting a trench coat that fits on the bodice as well as on the hips. Don't be afraid to go for a bold colour like cobalt blue or even red. Dark trousers or pencil skirt will bring out this statement coat very well.

My Style: Mad About Denim

I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue. I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me. On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt? Have you checked out my online store yet?
