Are you suffering from the winter blues? Well here's a little reminder to perk up your day! Winter is the best season for comfortable fashion. You can look chic and be comfortable at the same. Here's a few tips to help you achieve your look.Volume on top + Fitted on bottom = Winter 2011 Fashion. If you can remember this, you’re golden.

The key to this booming Winter trend is how you personalize it. The volume on top could be a number of things from chunky cable knit sweaters, to oversized cardigans, to boyfriend blazers and then some. The fitted bottom look can be a wool mini skirt over tights, super skinny jeans or shorts over tights, but the simplest way to achieve this look is with a pair of leggings. The legging route leaves you with more options than you might think. While the classic black cotton leggings are certainly a fan favorite, you can easily go for gray or colored ones instead or my personal favorite, leather leggings.

Any way you slice it, layers are necessary to perfect this look. Wear your neutral colored sweater open over a printed tee or close it up over a colored top that pops out underneath (known as a peek-a-boo layer). A scarf is a great way to top of this look, but don’t allow the concept of matching everything cloud your judgment. Play with different textures and you’ll see how a combination like a cotton tank under a wool sweater that’s paired with a linen scarf and some leather leggings can create that perfectly imperfect harmony.
