Why quality is better than quantity when it comes to winter fashion

It is easy to stock-pile sundresses and sandals. New sales appear every weekend, and the fashionista quickly ends up with as many prints as there are days in summer. But fashion does not seem so carefree and easy in the winter. Wearing the same coat may seem like a drag, but maybe you just need to right coat. Keep these tips in mind when shopping and keep an eye out for quality.

• Remember the primary use for clothing, as much as we may deny it, is to protect you from the elements. Whether aiming for protection from the freezing cold of winter or the scorching sun of summer, forget this fact at your own peril when shopping. This is also an important argument for quality over quantity. Freezing for fashion? No way! Go for the right type of ladies boots instead of treading through the rain and mud in heels. If your family is off on a ski holiday, you will need a good parka and waterproof ski pants.

• Second, winter fashion is really all about the right layering.


Mix and match clothes from previous seasons to create your own unique style. Play daringly with length, pattern, and silhouette. Also remember, your coat will be the first thing, and maybe the only thing, most people will see. Nina Garcia, fashion director of Marie Claire, suggests that this is where you make your statement, perhaps sport a fun collar or colour that really pops. Accessories like scarves, hats, and bags are great assets when personalizing that staple coat.

• Think of quality clothing, not as a punch in the pocketbook or a Spartan closet, but as investment pieces. A good coat will last you many seasons. Trench coats were invented by Burberry for soldiers in the First World War.
They have heaps of pockets and loops for storing items while on the road, and yet they are a piece that is timelessly chic. Ladies boots are also a great investment area. The right boot makes you look slim and sexy, and comfortable enough for you to be on your feet around town for the day.

• Last tip, make sure the clothes make you feel good about yourself, meaning they should feel good and look good on your body. Clothes that fit you and your style instil an inner confidence. Plus, the people around you will read it as poise and respect. Since it is cold outside, splurge for the luxurious in ladies fashion. Cashmere, angora or wool will help you make it through the day. Let’s face it, you will feel great, look glamorous, and you only need to splurge for a few key pieces that you can pull out for a pick-me-up. The right clothing is an investment.
