Cold weather doesn't mean your favorite skirts and dresses have to wait until spring. With the right layers, you can stay warm on a winter street and still keep the look you love. Here's a simple guide.
1. Start with warm tights that don't look bulky
Classic sheer tights look great, but they do almost nothing against the cold. Thick opaque tights are warmer, but they change the whole look of an outfit. Fleece-lined sheer-look tights sit in the middle: a skin-tone base under a sheer outer layer gives the translucent look of regular tights, while a brushed fleece lining inside keeps your legs warm.
Our Fleece-Lined Sheer-Look Tights have a 220g fleece lining and a high waist, and come in Black, Nude and Grey, in Standard (88–154 lb) and Plus (132–220 lb) fits.
2. Pick the right tone
- Nude looks closest to bare legs and works with almost any color.
- Black is the classic choice for black skirts, leather and dark coats.
- Grey is a softer option with knits, wool and lighter outfits.
3. Choose a high waist
A high-rise waistband stays smooth under fitted skirts and dresses and keeps your middle warm too, which matters more than you think on a windy day.
4. Go for thicker fabrics on top
Knit dresses, wool skirts and sweater dresses hold heat much better than thin fabrics. Pair them with a long coat that covers most of the skirt.
5. Finish with boots and accessories
Ankle or knee-high boots block wind at the bottom. A warm beanie and gloves make a bigger difference than you'd expect: try a Satin-Lined Pom Pom Beanie and Touchscreen Fleece-Lined Winter Gloves so you can use your phone without taking them off.
