As someone who grew up in Illinois, where winters dip into negative temperatures and frost covers anything outside, I can confidently say the clothing essentials are quite different when living in Florida. The barrier for what’s “cold” in Florida is quite high; residents can be seen shivering on a sixty-five-degree day. This doesn’t mean we Floridians don’t dress for the chilly temperatures! Here’s what’s trending this winter and what you can expect to see:

Fleece-Lined Tights

Fleece-Lined tights are a blessing to people that love wearing skirts in the cold weather. They’re traditional black tights, but the inside is cushioned in warm fleece that matches your skin tone. Not only are they easy to put on, but they’re also efficient at keeping you cozy and a great layering tool for skirts or dresses. You can easily find them on Amazon, Shein or other online clothing shops.

Leg Warmers

Another cozy staple, leg warmers are cute and super trendy right now. They come in almost any color and different styles and are a simple way to spice up any winter outfit. My favorites are the white or beige knitted pairs. Leg warmers can be styled over tights, leggings or just on yourself! I personally love styling them with Dr. Martens, which are also very wintery shoes. They can be easily found on Amazon or many mainstream clothing stores.

Cozy Sweaters

The biggest winter classic of them all: sweaters! They never go out of style, there are hundreds of different styles and they’re a sure way of keeping warm. I always wear oversized sweaters, which can be styled with any type of bottoms: jeans, tights, shorts, leggings and much more. Many have fun designs for the holidays or are made with fun materials. Plain-knitted sweaters are my favorite to wear with baggy pants. Sweaters can be found in almost every clothing brand, but my personal preferences are the ones you find in thrift stores.

Not only are these components stylish on their own, but they’re also cohesive altogether. An amazing go-to winter outfit for me always includes tights, a pencil skirt, a big comfy sweater, and leg warmers over Dr. Marten boots. Always cozy during the chilly weather and guaranteed to look great.
