Being an ‘it-girl’ can feel like a full-time job, especially during winter when a single coat can ruin your entire outfit. However, by following these six wardrobe suggestions, you can discover ways to elevate your style and give off the ultimate cool girl vibes. From colour choices to necklines, this blog post has it all and is here to restore your faith in the ability to look like an ‘it-girl’ when the weather has other ideas.

As mentioned in the introduction, the wrong choice in coat layering can easily ruin your outfit. Instead of letting your coat cover up your look, it should be a part of your overall style. For this reason, I suggest considering a fur coat. Not only does it exude a cosy vibe, but when styled correctly, it can make you appear effortlessly luxurious. If a full fur coat feels too intense for you, you can opt for a simple fur hat as shown above, which still captures that desired aura.

During winter, it’s common to gravitate towards neutral tones that blend with the weather. However, I urge you to break free from this trap and embrace a pop of colour in your winter wardrobe. Whether it’s a vibrant jumper, a bold scarf, statement gloves, or colourful shoes, incorporating a splash of colour will set you apart and establish you as a trendsetter. 

As winter brings extremely cold temperatures, it’s crucial to consider the functionality of your wardrobe. One neckline that strikes the perfect balance between style and warmth is a high neck top. However, this doesn’t have to be as conservative as you might imagine. You can opt for a trendy turtleneck tank top or even choose something with a bit more colour, as shown in the pictures above.

When it comes to footwear, I believe it’s one of the simplest ways to elevate your style and exude a classy, mature vibe. An effective way to achieve this is by investing in a versatile shoe with a pointed toe. Whether it’s a high heel or a boot, the pointed toe element adds a touch of sophistication that can be dressed down or up, making it a worthwhile purchase. Additionally, the pointed toe is flattering as it elongates your leg, which is perfect for the colder months when you may need to cover up.

being an ‘it-girl’ is not solely about fashion choices but also about the vibes you exude. One way to achieve an effortless and carefree look is by embracing the messy hair trend. This hairstyle gives the impression that you put in less effort than you actually did, adding to your overall cool and relaxed image. If this look appeals to you, read my last blog post: Embodying The ‘Frazzled English Woman’ Aesthetic: A Guide for more tips.

My final suggestion is something a bit more fancy that can serve as a standout feature in your outfit. Lately, I’ve been loving lace in all forms, ranging from lace tops to knee-high socks. Incorporating lace into your wardrobe adds a variation in texture, bringing back the fun and playful side to your outfits that can be dressed up or down.

By following these suggestions, you can elevate your winter wardrobe and exude the ultimate ‘it-girl’ vibes. From incorporating pops of colour to embracing versatile footwear, considering functional yet stylish necklines, and adding feature pieces like lace, you can create trendsetting looks that defy the winter weather.
