Fun Cold Weather Outfit Ideas

February may be a short month, but there’s no shortage of cold weather heading our way. Don’t let the polar vortex get you down! The right clothing can turn a regular day into an occasion. Today, we’re looking at fun cold weather outfit ideas to help you break out of your winter rut.

For day-to-day outings

For everyday wear, we like to rely on a capsule wardrobe, which is a pared-down collection of classic pieces that you can turn to again and again when building an outfit. A good capsule wardrobe encourages minimalism, simplifies dressing, and reduces the need to create new items.

If you’re running errands that will require you to pop in and out of overheated stores all day, opt for comfortable classics:

  • Skip the complicated toggles and reach for a coat that’s easy to unzip when you step into a building and do up again as you leave

  • Wear a warm headband instead of a hat to avoid pulling your hair askew every time you take it off

  • Choose a bag or tote with straps that fit over your shoulder when wearing your jacket

For celebrating Galentine’s Day with your pals

Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th. This holiday, which was popularized by the TV show Parks and Rec, focuses on celebrating relationships with our friends.

What to wear for Galentine’s Day depends on your plans. Here are a few outfit ideas:

  • Brunch date: Faux leather leggings and an oversized knit top will keep you looking cute and warm, even if you’re seated by the restaurant door. 

  • Movie marathon: Comfy athleisure pieces are perfect for a night of lounging and snacks. We love a romper for maximum comfort.

  • Outdoor festival: Layer some of your favourite pieces to stay warm throughout the day. Top off your look with a colourful hat or scarf so you’re easy to spot in a crowd.

Don’t forget to take a group photo with your besties! After a few years, you’ll have a whole series of memories to look back on.

For a Valentine’s Day date

Valentine’s Day is all about love, and your clothes should make you as happy as your date does! Here are a few ideas to feel stylish and vibrant this Valentine’s Day:

  • For dinner at a trendy new restaurant, think of what you might wear to a New Year’s Eve party. Sequins and shimmer will look beautiful by candlelight, and you’ll look festive and ready to celebrate.

  • If you’re headed to a cozy dinner at your favourite neighbourhood spot, reach for classics from your capsule wardrobe for an easy, put-together look.

  • Perhaps your love has gifted you accessories or jewelry in the past – no matter where you’re going, Valentine’s Day is a great time to feature those pieces!
