Bundle Up For Business

Fashion

By: Elle Renée

SIt is no secret that the temperature is dropping and baby it's cold outside. But don't let the frost or the freeze keep you from rocking your style. With the need to wear layers to combat the cold and at times even snow, rest assured you can bundle up for business...in style.

Here are 3 ways to keep warm and be stylish at the same time:

1. Pick a neutral color for your coat.

When it comes to picking a coat that allows you to rock your style it is tempting to become mesmerized by the bright colors and trendy patterns. But when it comes to bundling up for business, choosing a neutral color like cream, beige, taupe, black, brown, and gray allows your outerwear to pair effortlessly with other pieces in your wardrobe. No need to create a distracting look by having your layers compete for attention, just keep it simple, while you close the deal...in style.

2. Accessories Help Elevate Your Look.

When hearing the word accessories, pieces of jewelry like necklaces, earrings, and rings usally come to mind, but hats, gloves and scarfs too are accessories, winter accessories. They can serve as a preview to others about how stylish you are, and really elevate your look.  Remember, don't make your outerwear and accessories conflict with the outfit you're wearing. Create a nice transition of style as you pull of the layers and work your business.

3. Functional and Fashion Friendly Footwear.

From the different types of soles, heel heights, and insulation features to protect each step you take, over to the neutral or vibrant colors and designs, wearing functional and fashion friendly footwear, allows you to continue to walk down your path of success...in style. The winter months can be more treacherous for some than others. Ensuring you have functional footwear is a must, but it can be fashion friendly too. You no longer have to compromise safety for style. 

The bitter cold and inches of snow are sure to come, but business must go on, so be sure to bundle up.
