Winter is a season full of opportunities to experiment with fashion and layering. You can create comfortable and casual winter looks that are both stylish and practical, perfect for any occasion. Putting together a casual yet fashionable winter outfit that feels balanced and put-together can be challenging. Still, with some practical inspiration and ideas, you can create a look that works for you and makes you feel confident. From outerwear, layering, accessories, and shoes, a winter outfit has many elements that must be considered. With some creativity and patience, you can mix and match various pieces to create a fashionable winter outfit that is comfortable, stylish, and versatile. Check out some of the casual winter looks your friends at Melrose have curated below.

Cooler temperatures call for a shift in our wardrobe; some pieces are put to the wayside while others can be incorporated into warmer ensembles. Thicker fabrics, layering, and closed-toed shoes all have the spotlight. The mood and vibe for fall integrate functionality, comfort, and style into one outfit. This week, we at Melrose have ten layered looks for our young ladies that showcase various outerwear pieces, like shackets and fleece jackets, how we styled them, and other creative ways to elevate their fashion with our selection. 

The best fashion trick is making an outfit effortless, and layering is a crucial option for creating a look, evoking an attitude of making dressing at your most put-together "easy." Some items are more accessible to build around than others. For pieces that pose a more significant challenge, remember to keep your proportions, textures, and silhouettes in mind; continue to mix, match, and be creative. This week, Melrose does just that by showcasing six different layered looks for the contemporary woman in various settings.

At Melrose, our customers are always searching for the latest fashion trends. We're excited to incorporate Ed Hardy's unique designs into our collection.

Americans kick off the summer every fourth of July by celebrating Independence day.

Clothes are always essential to showcasing one's style, and accessories are sometimes left out of the style planning, therefore keeping the full potential of an aesthetic from shining. So instead of planning your look with clothing at the helm, try a new strategy with the accessories you have lying around that you don't quite know what to pair them with. Your friends at My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions will teach you how with our four curated examples. Read below for complete accessory profiles with some tips on outfits that would excellently match the aesthetic you're going for.

When the average person thinks about Mother's Day, we picture a biological mom that brought us into the world; but that's not exactly everyone's reality. Think about specific circumstances; relatives or non-blood families might adopt some; some of us may have never had a mother due to a passing or an estranged relationship. What we do have in our lives are women who raised us. These women could be our grandmas, aunts, sisters, or family that chose us; a more accurate outlook and mantra to follow regarding family is that family is what we make it. This Mother's Day, honor your mom or the female role models who were there to act as a mother for you. My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions take this time to celebrate these fantastic women by showing outfits that highlight female grace and beauty.
