But staying warm doesn’t have to be the same as feeling heavy.
Some celebrities have invested in layered winter looks and we’ve brought you some examples for inspiration. Check out!
Tips for creating winter looks with layers
1. Go for long gloves
Some of the prettiest coats have short sleeves. Unfortunately, they leave your forearms exposed to the cold.
The solution? Try long leather gloves – in the same color as the other pieces of clothing like Mary-Kate Olsen did or in shades of brown or red.
This is one of the winter looks for those who want to feel elegant and modern.

2. Choose an abstract print
It’s natural to choose a darker color palette in winter, such as black, gray and navy blue. After all, why not? These colors work very well together.
However, if you want to create different winter looks and not be one of the crowd, you can opt for an abstract print to be part of the look, as Jennifer Connelly did with her skirt.

3. Create thin layers
Claudia Schiffer proves that staying warm isn’t directly linked to the thickness of your clothes.
Several layers of relatively fine knitwear combined with a neck-warming scarf can be just as cozy as your biggest coat. A belt helps balance the silhouette.

4. Swap your coat for a cape
Model Iman makes being stylish year-round look so easy. Your secret weapon – besides your accessories – is a trendy cape.
Give winter coats a break and give a cape a chance: you’ll see how it can keep the cold out and make you look elegant.

5. Try a nice Fedora hat
There’s a reason why several winter looks always go well with a nice Fedora hat.
A sophisticated hat, like Gwen Stefani’s, energizes and harmonizes the outfit that features a very large coat. This is a better alternative than a beanie or bulky hat.

6. Opt for a stylish shawl
Another way to create beautiful winter looks is to opt for stylish shawls. They work like a blanket but are not limited to the couch.
A good fabric and a modern print can complement the outfit and make it elegant and warm.

7. Fur coats
Sienna Miller opted for a “fur” coat, not a “fur” coat. In other words, only some parts of the coat are lined with artificial fur.
Winter looks that feature fur coats generally keep you warm without looking too heavy and are therefore a great alternative.

8. Leather leggings are excellent options

9. Sophisticated accessories are key
Sophisticated boots are a must-have for winter: period. Wear your heaviest coats, your biggest scarves and your biggest hats, but choose thin, elegant boots, like Elle Macpherson did.
This way, you will be able to harmonize your winter looks and the upper part of your body – which is heavier – will become more dynamic and lighter.
