A warm cup of coffee or tea. Some crispy cookies, soft cakes or maybe a crumbly ladoo. The biting breeze of winter that makes your nose flutter. The ultimate crave for apricity? Yes, yes, yes they all point towards Winters !! It's just early November and we are already finding excuses not to bathe. Whether or not you find your excuse but there will be thousands of reasons to dress up in winters. So here is a checklist for you to get all your winter essentials ready to welcome the cold.
1) THE BASIC TURTLENECK OR MOCK NECK :
A soft and 'thin' turtleneck is the basic layer for a typical winter look. In mild days it can go as it is and when it's freezing layers and layers can be added to it. The mock neck is a better option especially in India where there are mild winters, cause when you add a scarf it doesn't bulk up but any thin turtle neck is also good to go.
At first try investing in a neutral colour such as black or white or even beige to get tons of outfits. Then go for the colours you love and thick wooly turtle necks.
2) HOODIES :
These are the ultimate protective blankets that you grab and gear up when you don't have time to put together an outfit. Choose ones with classic front pockets to save your hands from cold or maybe to hide your hand when you don't know what to do with your hands when you pose for a picture. Another thing to note about while getting a hoodie is to go for bigger hoods that don't constrict your movement.
3) GOOD OLD DENIM JACKETS :
Denim jackets can spice up any basic look or dress down any overdressed look when used wisely. These act as an accessory to your outfit that you can add or remove whenever necessary. Go for a bigger size so that it covers up all the inner layers gracefully.
4) STOCKINGS:
Besides being the saviour of your legs with short dresses, stockings can be paired with skirts and even pants for a warm layer to keep you toasty all day. Wearing a palazzo, wide-leg jeans, trousers was difficult earlier but not anymore, cause you know the little secret. Layer it up and get some insulation.
5) SCARVES:
Now if you know me, you know how much I love scarves. They too are an accessory to jazz up an outfit. For this particularly I suggest go for your favourite colour or a bold print that suits you to add a pop to the all wintery neutral palette.
Which is your favourite winter essential ? Do let me know if you add something else to your winter wardrobe. Have a great weekend and a safe Diwali.
