Winter Trends: High Fashion in Low Temps

11_09_09_WinterTrends

Winter. A time for both piling on the layers and giving the teeniest party dresses time to shine. So how to look fashion-forward while bundling up and dressing up? Find loads of styling inspiration in Shopbop’s Winter Trends feature.

The season’s best daywear is a little rough around the edges. Think flannel dresses and faux fur accents, distressed denim and over-the-knee boots, army canvas and chunky knits: Shopbop’s stylists show how to give plaid a little sex appeal, and make rustic layers look decidedly put-together.

And let’s not forget about that most important layer. Though black wool coats are a wardrobe staple, this season uncommon outerwear is coming into its own. Cheetah and zebra, polished plaid and cashmere capes–these styles stand alone.

But because layers won’t cut it at festive fetes, it’s also crucial to find a party look that suits your style. Do you love the lamé of Studio 54-inspired ’70s fashion, or adore the elegant, glamorous styles that take their cue from the bright lights of the big city? Or are you in the mood for something vibrant and vivacious, a jewel-toned mini dress accessorized with tights, black booties, and layers of rhinestone and tangled chain necklaces? Ring in the new decade with something perfect for your personality.

But don’t let the compliments you’ll be getting distract you from the gifts you should be giving. After a walk through Winter Trends, find something for all the good girls on your list (and everyone else) in the Gift Guide.
