As winter sets in it is easy to fall into the routine of drab and dreary outfits. But I believe that every season is an opportunity to express ourselves through style. This vibrant outfit shows you how layering up to brave the elements and pull off being both chic and looking confident.

Confidence begins below the surface. It is the quiet reminder you are enough. What and how you wear clothes communicates that confidence. If you always wear what you “think” you should or what people “think” is stylish, but you don’t, it can impede your confidence.

Winter can unintentionally sap your confidence where clothes are concerned, here are some common ways. Bulk and restriction, heavy coats, sweaters, and multiple layers can make you feel clumsy or self-conscious. Choose streamlined silhouettes: light weight parka with a tailored fit or wool blend coat that drapes cleanly.

Lastly, remember color has a powerful, almost immediate effect on mood, confidence, and how people perceive you. Many winter coats, boots, and clothes are very drab colors. Find one color that you can pair with the drab color and in an instant that outfit with start to come to life.

Color is your confidence amplifier. When you wear the right hues, you look awake, approachable, and polished; when you don’t, you can look drab, off, washed out. Add just a touch of a color that makes you feel happy, joyful and light-up and you can ignite radiance, presence, and fearless style.
