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.
