Fashion instruction: how to wear dresses in winter

Dresses in the winter? At first glance, this seems like an unfortunate idea: in frosty weather, I want to wear another sweater, and not freeze in a thin outfit. But what if the inexorable dress code forbids trousers or do you simply adore dresses? Designers are encouraging: images with dresses can be not only fashionable, but also appropriate for winter.

Dress + trousers. And it's not about leggings and tunic - this option, with all its convenience, it is difficult to call suitable for the office. But dresses medium or short length, combined with narrow or short pants or "pipes" - quite another matter. Fans of voluminous silhouettes should take note of the set oversize: long jacket-sarafan and wide voluminous pants. Choosing it, do not forget about the accents: the waist is better "tighten" belt sash or contrast belt.

Dress + down coat. To wear dresses only with a strict woolen case or fur coat - has long been mauveen. Volumetric down jackets are the choice of a modern fashionista. Winter dictates its conditions, so the outfits of a dense jacquard, leather, coton, knitted cloth - is what you need. No more complicated rules: the length, style and colors of things can be varied as you like.

Dress + high boots. The most obvious option, but still relevant. The secret of a stylish image is in the length of the skirt and boot: the shorter the first, the more the second should be. Such a technique not only visually makes the legs more slender and "stretches out" the silhouette, but also allows you to feel comfortable in the frosty days.
