Fashion Trends This Winter
By Grace Stefanovich '22
Winter is here, and turtlenecks and flannel shirts are just two of the prominent fashion trends this season. Whether it is for a typical day at school or for a weekend date, we all want to look our best. Finding the perfect layering piece can be tricky, but with the use of a turtleneck, a normal shirt or dress can turn into a stylish look. So, find that old turtleneck balled up in the back of your shirt drawer, and get to work. A cozy white turtleneck is an obvious sub-in for your plain white tee. Tucking the turtleneck into a wide-legged pant or denim skirt makes the perfect casual set. A super-thin turtleneck, on the other hand, makes the perfect layering piece. Wear a turtleneck underneath your cute summer dresses to stretch its closet life by a few months. Or wear one underneath a boxy or graphic tee, creating a city girl look. When it comes to turtleneck outfits, do not be afraid to wear a statement piece. Layer a turtleneck over a slip dress, creating a sophisticated skirt, or grab a sweater-turtleneck and a comfy pair of jeans for any winter day. The turtleneck is the layering queen, while the flannel is a closet staple. Do not underestimate the two paired together. Throw a flannel over your turtleneck, and leave a few buttons undone for a subtle edgy ensemble. The perfect flannel can be worn as a shirt but can also be used as a fashion accessory. Try tying the flannel around your waist; it is a fashion statement that looks put together, plus it is practical if it ever starts to get chilly this winter. Throw the flannel over any crew neck shirt or sweatshirt, and pair it with jeans and some traditional fashion sneakers, and there you have it: a perfect look for any weekend afternoon. Nothing can say cool and casual like a flannel. Tuck it into any miniskirt, and style the pair with boots. Fashion is meant to be an experiment. Test some trends out --- have fun with it! I cannot wait to see your looks this winter!
