Here are some tips on how to look chic and stay warm in frosty weather:

Invest in a warm coat that looks great on you: A warm coat is a key component in any winter wardrobe, and this season, it's all about military inspired jackets, double breasted pea coats, plaid trenches, quilted vests and parkas in classic and bold colours.

Layer it on: Winter clothes can sometimes look bulky, so be sure to choose slim fitting sweaters that flatter your shape. Always make sure that your second layer compliments the neckline of your bottom layer. To keep your look fashionable wear classic pieces that look great when worn together or alone.

Step out in style: A fabulous pair of winter boots is fashion staple for cold climates. To avoid getting frostbite on your toes, choose your winter footwear based on your activity and terrain. Be sure to select footwear that is comfortable, versatile, and warm. Hot trends for the season include: bohemian, knee high, booties, ankle boots, and slouch boots.

Accessories make it: Complete your look by accessorizing your outerwear with a bright coloured scarf, colourful gloves or mittens. Add a fabulous bag and top off with a funky hat or cute beret.
