Layering is always fun and creative. However, it is often easy to mess up and look suffocated. This outfit will help you look different and give you more character.

When choosing long sweaters to wear with leggings, go for sweaters that are not too thick or heavy. It is best to opt for neutral colors such as blacks, grays, or nude tones. Pieces of denim or long trench coats work well for outerwear so that if the weather warms up later in the day, you may remove your jacket and wear your sweater and leggings instead. Closed-toe shoes like boots are the perfect choice for this outfit. Stay warm and stylish this winter, but most importantly, keep an eye out for more entertaining ways to glam up your wardrobe and look your best!
