Winter clothes don't have to be bulky and shapeless. With basic layering techniques and knowledge about good winter fabrics, you can dress warmly and fashionably. Invest in well-made clothes that will last you many winters. Be creative with clothing combinations and add your own unique flair to winter outfits. Don't be afraid to wear bright colors in the winter. Include colored or patterned pieces that can raise your spirits and bring some brightness to a dreary day. Layering is a key element in dressing for winter. You can move between outdoors and indoors by putting on or taking off one or two layers to stay at a comfortable temperature. If you are going to be outside for long periods, wear silk long underwear. It is thin but warm, and it won't make you perspire or overheat when you go inside. Wear thin layers in knit fabrics as foundations so you won't bulk up. Knit fabrics lay smooth on the body and help keep heat in.
Consider a camisole or T-shirt as a first layer. Also, two thin layers can add visual interest to your outfit. For example, wear a V-neck T-shirt over a lacy camisole. Layer next with a blouse or dress, and then add a sweater, vest or fitted blazer. If you love to wear skirts, pair them with tights or leggings.
