Art, unfortunately, doesn't always suit life”whenever I see winter runway shows or collections, I often think, ¦but would these actually work in a real winter? Some materials and cuts just don't weather salt slush and wind chills well, and when the weather gets vicious, it can be hard to think of experimenting with new clothing.
Fortunately, many of this season's trends are actually viable even in a Canadian winter. Here are some sound directives for styling yourself all winter long.
Keep it military
As even knits and statement outfits start becoming more tapered, fitted and sedate, keep the tone military-inspired when layering to ensure that nothing clashes, and that the overall look is understated even when dressy. Switch out a tired sweater for a minimal but eye-catching bomber jacket for a steelier look that’s also rather versatile. Wear it: ZARA Oversized Bomber Jacket ($40)
