Ahh… we just adore simple black tights for allowing us to wear our favourites dresses even through the wintertime! Black tights and black boots make the perfect foundation for any printed dress whilst a fun spotted tight can add some extra personality to a little black dress. Whether you are going to work, out to dinner or running your daily errands, a good quality pair of tights or two is your first essential when styling your dresses in winter. If you’re looking to take your outfit’s cosy factor up a notch, consider wearing a pair of black leggings under your dress, ensuring they are neatly tucked into boots.
A long coat is a great investment to elevate a special occasion look whilst also preventing the chattering teeth moment as you arrive to an event. Not only are they thick enough to block a cold winters breeze, but they are also lovingly crafted with woollen fabrics that generate warmth whilst you wear them. Opt for a neutral colour if you’re wearing a bold colour or print or play with colour if wearing a classic navy or black.
Ankle or knee-high boots are the perfect way to cover up your feet from that nip in the winters air, which is automatically going to keep the rest of your body that little bit warmer. Not only are boots warm, but they add a trendy and edgy look to your outfit. Add some warm socks underneath and your feet will be thanking you for the toasty warm feeling!
