A message to those who absolutely dread the winter months:

Have no fear; for there are many cuddly and bright remedies for your winter blues foreseeable future.

As our summer lovin’ comes to end, it’s time to find ourselves a winter cowboy. But if finding a man and getting the piece of hardware that makes your love last forever doesn’t tickle your fancy, a cowboy belt will definitely get the job done. Embellish your waist with a cowboy belt fit for a champion that’s adorned with elaborate and shiny metal. It’s eye-catching and hypnotizing, a perfect way to distract yourself from the cold.

On the days when slight distraction just isn’t enough, getting up can be hard, but getting dressed doesn’t have to be.

Pajama days. The most anticipated day of school where comfort is a must. Comfort should definitely never be compromised, especially during the bitter winter months. Lucky for us, the tranquility and serenity of the bedroom is on the frontline of style. Welcome the loose fit of your clothes. These relaxed fits can easily provide a poised look, a look fit for someone looking to dominate the workplace and the classroom. For the simplest style, pair your silky tops with jeans and one of your in-season cowboy belts. More into the sleek bottoms? Try pairing them with a simple top and a long coat or jacket. If jumping straight to pajamas is too much try out some uniquely cut blouses to pair with jeans to dress them up for a similar effect! Get out of bed and embrace your swinging silky pieces so you can get your grasp on the workday, not your pillow.

Despite the expected chill of winter, we should all look forward to the hottest trend. Let this plush, smooth, and furry fabric, take over all parts of your wardrobe.

The promising designs of prestigious designers such Victoria Beckham, Christopher Kane, Sies Marjan, and Muiccia Prada, as well as their pocket-friendly counterparts, offer us a wide range of velvet styles to sport throughout the season.

Revamping your velvet collection can be as simple as one pair of boots. Channel your inner bohemian Chloe-girl at day and with a snap-of-a-finger transform into an edgy, avant-garde, Bowie rock star at night. If statement shoes aren’t your cup of tea, try a vibrant velvet scarf to pair with your favorite fall and winter jackets. Feeling daring? Dress yourself in head-to-toe velvet (check Victoria Beckham for inspiration). Whether you choose a statement dress, a quilted velvet bag, or a simple velvet top this up-to-date fabric won’t let you down.

As New York Fashion Week is over and fall and winter season truly begins, give the upcoming months a proper welcome with one of these trends.
