Tweed and Leather Make the Perfect Winter Getup

Achieving a look that's both warmth inducing and chic can be a challenge come wintertime, but don't despair, there is hope yet.

by Chi Diem Chau

Achieving a look that's both warmth inducing and chic can be a challenge come wintertime, but don't despair, there is hope yet. As seen on this street styler, all it takes are a few different textures to look the part of the downtown sophisticate. Simply layer a tweed coat over a basic warm knit, then round out your getup with leather leggings and cool moto boots. For the final touch, top off your cold-weather ensemble with a cozy black snood and sleek cat-eye sunglasses. Inspired? We love this fresh twist on Winter dressing, and if you do too, get a similar look with our key shopping picks below.
