Winter clothing can be a bit more costly due to the materials used, so the ability to stretch your wardrobe as far as possible is key for those on a tight budget. Your winter wardrobe should include:

1.) A cozy winter coat – Know how to select the right coat

Few things are more rewarding than slipping into a warm, cozy coat before walking out into the wind and inclimate weather. The most adaptable coat is by far a wool number that you can transition from casual wear with your favorite jeans to business wear as a topper for a smart suit to formal wear as a way to keep you warm while attending all those holiday parties. Whatever coat you decide to purchase, find one that is classic enough to last you season after season so that it will not have to be replaced next year since it is out of style.

2.) Classic wool pants to die for

A great pair of wool pants is perfect for a day at the office or a night at a lovely restaurant. Purchase a pair that will last you year after year, so ensure the texture, color, and style are classic enough to get the most wear for your money. Be sure that the pants are fully lined to as to avoid any potential itchiness or bulkiness that is usually associated with unlined pants. Also, make sure the length is correct so that you do not drag the hem through the slush and snow.

3.) Velvet skirt savvy

Winter is usually associated with an onslaught of holiday parties. Finding that perfect velvet skirt is an excellent staple that will allow you wear year after year. Choose a skirt that is pure velvet and not a man made fabric that will not hold up to continual wear. Also, look for a length that is classic and will not need raising or lowering to fit the hemline fads of that specific year.
