If you live in a colder part of the world, you’ve probably figured out the whole short-shorts and snow thing just doesn’t work. Of course, if you follow the latest fashions in pop culture and warmer parts of the world – jeans just aren’t what you want to wear. If you want to wear what you like but the weather won’t allow it, maybe it’s time to move.

Or you could just try cold weather fashion! Boots comes in all shapes and sizes. From ankle boots to fur lines boots, you have your choice of how much heat you want to hold in. Bare legs are not an option unless you want to lose weight by shivering. Invest in some tights, leggings and thigh highs and leave the bare legged look for summer. Of course, wear what suits your body shape and colors that flatter your skin tone.

The same goes for skirts – why skip wearing them? No matter how short the skirt, a pair of fashion leggings can keep you nice and warm. Long skirts combined with boots are very comfy, but you can still show off your ankle boots. A long scarf can also add a stream of color if the rest of your outfit is too subtle.

A few notes on color though. Wear the season’s colors and make sure to always match your boots to your skirt or scarf. Wearing too many colors can make you stick out like a sore thumb – pick your favorite season color and stick with it.
