How to Dress Warm Without Looking Like a Marshmallow

In theory, winter is the perfect time to pull out fashionable outfits and accessories. Unfortunately, though, fashion does not always equal warmth. So when temperatures drop below freezing, looking fresh off the runway is no longer the main priority. However, no one wants to look like an unflattering blob in bulky layers, even if that is the only thing to keep you warm. So here are some tips on how to dress warm and stylish this winter in order to avoid looking like a marshmallow.  

Wool Coats

Wool coats are not only stylish but also way less bulky than puffier coats.  A peacoat is a perfect way to look trendy and slim while also staying super comfortable. Wool is also water resistant and will therefore keep you dry and warm during the wet, wintery months.  

Pom-Pom Hats

Beanies and hats are all the rage right now, which comes in handy when cold weather rolls around. Pom-pom fur hats are also super popular and will make you look not only warm but also very on trend. Hats are a perfect way to keep you warm, disguise windblown hair and look stylish in winter.  

Stylish Scarves

Sometimes it’s hard to look stylish in an oversized coat and boots, but scarves are the perfect way to show a pop of color. Because they can be removed easily, scarves don’t make you look and feel too bulky. Scarves are also a great way to give an old coat or sweater a new look.  

More, thinner layers 

One easy way to avoid feeling bulky is layers. Instead of one chunky turtleneck, opt for a thinner shirt with a flannel or jacket on top. The less thick sweaters you wear, the more slimming your outfit will appear.  

Fleece-Lined Leggings

Fleece-lined leggings are perfect because they can be worn by themselves or underneath another pair of pants for a warmer option.  They look like regular leggings and don’t make your legs look thicker but are far warmer than regular pants.
