It’s easy to be super stylish this fall and winter by keeping in mind these very simple “dos and don’ts”. Starting off, leave the UGGs and their look-a-likes at home; they’re not waterproof and impossible to keep clean coming into winter. Instead, look for a sexy leather knee-high or ankle boot, which you can pair with any fall/winter outfit. Next, save the parkas and sweatpants for super cold days. Seeing these items in the fall and early winter with leaves on the ground is just silly; you need to save those jackets and sweats for snowstorms and zero degree Celsius weather. Instead, pick up a patterned cocoon coat and a great pair of jeggings. These comfy and warm alternatives can give you that fashionable oomph that can make for a stunning look. One more very important fashion “don’t”? Those animal-head winter hats. These are reserved for the wee ones under five years of age. Ladies, we can do better with a slouchy wool beanie. Check out our favourite fashion “dos” below.
