32 Winter Outfits to Wear When You're Bored of Your Clothes
Thinking ahead to winter, all the pieces you’ll be pulling out of storage, and the new items you’ll be adding to your cold-weather wardrobe? Same, same, and same. While I live in L.A., where the weather never really dips into freezing temps, I always transition my outfits based on the season. Plus, I have some upcoming travels to more winter-inclined climates that have me thinking about lots of coats and layers.
In need of some inspiration to put me in the mindset of winter outfits for the months ahead, I rounded up some looks from Instagram and the street style scene that I’m sharing here today. These are styling ideas I want to put into effect as soon as the weather allows. Ahead, get some inspiration for yourself.
