Winnipeg fashion part 3: fall
The most-challenging season of the year can also be the most rewarding for the fashionable Winnipegger. The low temperatures, icy winds and constant risk of frostbite means that layering isn’t just a fun option. It’s a necessity. All visible flesh must be protected by layers of wool, down feather and leather and overt sexiness becomes impossible.
Stay away from: Exposed skin
For obvious reasons, looks that revolve around a cleavage-baring neckline or exposed calves are out for the winter months. As hot as your body doubtlessly is, you just look cold and stupid if you put it on full display despite the -40 degree temperature. Hats, gloves, scarves, socks, and parkas were made to ensure that every part of you, except for your eyes, is safely covered at all times. Make sure to invest in a great hat and warm gloves and don’t you dare go anywhere near your strappy sandals for the next couple of months.
Try out: Faux fur
There’s nothing glamorous about animal cruelty but a great fake fur is warm, gorgeous and the epitome of rock and roll glamour. Think Penny Lane in Almost Famous or a more animal friendly Anna Wintour and you’ve got the look down pat.
Wear with: A pair of skinny, camel colored corduroy pants, flat, over the knee leather boots, extra-long leather gloves and extra long strands of faux pearls (or real if you can afford them!).
