Find out which accessory is both stylish and practical! Lyra Pappin lays out the goods on cold weather style.  Winter isn't the ideal time for fashionistas. The cold air dries out skin and hair, bundling up covers your favourite skirt and road salt is no friend to heels. While it might still be tempting to grab the cute poncho and skirt you've been eyeing, there are a few winter essentials you should not skip, unless having the cold and flu becomes hot this year!Power Parka Parkas aren't the most figure-flattering coats around, but they are the warmest. Choosing a winter coat depends on where you live and what conditions you face, so be sure to select one wisely and not based on fashion alone. Luckily, many brands are catching on to the desire women have to look great while staying warm by including some more feminine touches like hidden and adjustable drawstring waists and gentler stitching and finishes. You don't have to be the “bubble boy” all winter long to stay warm. Brands like Canadian Goose offer an array of down filled parkas, with styles ranging from short to long, depending on the severity of the weather you will face. Look for styles with a large hood, warm pockets and a lining that is at least partially down-filled for the best comfort and protection. Serious Scarf Scarves are the best of winter accessories. Not only are they functional, they allow a momentary break from the black or white winter coat to show off a bit of personal style. Load up on scarves this season and you will not be sorry. Pashminas are great for moderate days, while nothing beats thick knitted scarves for the brutal cold. Wrapping yourself up in a thick and protective scarf helps keep the wind out of your jacket and provides some protection to your neck and face. There are cute scarves that have built-in hats as well (scats?), that give added warmth and a charming Little Red Riding Hood vibe. |
