Layers dominate fall picks

By Sophia Phillips

Layering warm clothing during cold weather does not have to hide a fashionable outfit but can be part of the outfit. Warm layers are fashionable in addition to being practical.

Here are some of fashionable, warm pieces to add to a cold weather wardrobe.

Infinity scarves

Maggie Giovenco, senior family consumer science major, said a knitted infinity scarf is her favorite warm fall piece.

These cozy scarves can be layered with almost any outfit.

Knitted beanies

Knitted hats, such as beanies, are a good way to stay warm, and are also a cute addition to an outfit. When wearing a beanie, it’s important to think about the hairstyle that’s underneath it.

Senior psychology major Terria Norvell said her favorite warm fall piece is a beanie because it’s a cute style.

Cardigans

A great piece to layer is a cardigan which can easily be taken off. This knitted sweater that fastens down the front works great when layered over a short sleeve shirt and paired with an infinity scarf. Cardigans with quarter length sleeves are also stylish. Long-sleeved cardigans are best for staying warm.

Boots

Many different types of boots can be warm and still fashionable for these colder months. My go-to shoe is a combat boot.

Norvell was wearing a pair of tawny colored, fringe boots, cute and perfect for staying warm. Giovenco, on the other hand, likes to wear riding boots to stay warm. A riding boot is a good shoe to pair with warm socks or a leggings.

Long sweaters

In cold weather, a long sweater can be great because it can keep more than just your upper body warm. Giovenco was wearing a white, long sweater to keep her warm, and said long sweaters were another piece she likes to wear to stay warm.

Long sweaters look good when worn with leggings or jeans. To stay warm while wearing a dress, layer a long sweater with an open front over the dress.
