Fur is Fur-ever

While we will never support animal cruelty, so forget fur, but who said you have to rule out faux fur? Indulge in a comfy faux fur jacket, whether its just the trimmings, the hood or a whole faux fur jacket and see yourself transform in to a diva. One can never go wrong with a faux fur jacket. The comfy jacket is made with fleece fabric that gives the look and feel of fur. It can be worn with a nice party dress and even over a pair of rugged denims.

Soothing polyester jacket

If you live in a city where winters are not only chilly but also damp, this is your go-to winter wear. The polyester layer prevents the cold wind from entering and also keeps the dampness away. Fit for an early morning jog and also for casual outings, although the fabric may not be the most ideal as most people have issues with it’s breathability, but in winters, the less frigid air touching you, the better.

Boots to suit the winter mood

In India, if you wear boots all year round you’ll be called crazy, but some of us are pretty crazy for boots, ankle length, calf length, high boots, you name it, we want it all! However, if you wear them in winter you can avoid those crazy stares. Opt for an ankle length pair for the daily, this will allow easier movement when you’re making your way around, for a night out opt for high boots, the higher the better. And the best part is they go with everything, from dresses, skirts, jackets to blazers.
