As colder temperatures roll in with the change of season, summer fashion staples are moving to the back of your closet for more weather appropriate clothing. But who ever said one needs to sacrifice style to be warm?

This winter’s fashion trends allow for one to be cozy and snug while being chic. This seasons must have item is faux fur.

From runways to store shelves, faux fur can be worn on almost anything from coats to vests to boot covers.

“Anything fur is in this fall, it’s in high demand. I am even ordering fur cell phone covers that will make the perfect accessory for any outfit.” said Tanya Gilbert, owner of Park Avenue boutique in Kingston, Pa.

Thick knits are a must have to battle the bitter elements of winter. They can be seen this season in alpine prints, cardigans and oversized cuts. But Gilbert cautions not to limit this trend to sweaters, but to also make sure you have thick knit scarves, hats and socks.

Bold colors are in style this season and bring life to any ensemble. One way to transform any drab winter outfit is with a pop of color from cold weather essentials such as hats and scarves.

If you want to be more daring try this trend in a monochromatic look, as seen on the runways. Derive your outfit based on a single color hue base and extend it using its shades, tones and hints for a one color look.

Rice University student Kaitlin, a style blogger for “College Fashion”, has posted the latest tips on dressing for cold weather. She says her No. 1 rule is that layers are your new best friend.

“Most buildings on campus will try to overcompensate for the chilly weather outside by cranking up the heat inside. It’s a nice gesture, but if you’re not wearing layers, you can end up sweating through your classes,” she said.

She says layering in a casual way is easy: start with a tank or tee, add a cardigan or sweater and top it off with another jacket, scarf and/or a hat.

“You’ll still look cute and will be comfortable no matter where you go,” she said.

“The higher the heel, the better,” Gilbert said, laughing.
