Fashionista in a cold school?


Question Posted Friday August 7 2009, 5:12 pm

16/f

I love fashion and I have a lot of really cute clothes. The only problem is that a lot of my clothes are short sleeved or used during warm weather or heated indoors. My school turns off the heating to save money, so my school is always freezing. I'm wondering if anybody could tell me how I could stay fashionable in a cold, freezing atmosphere. Kids in my school always wear the same jackets and sweatshirts because it keeps them warm and they don't have many of them. But I would just die if I had to wear the same clothing for an entire school year. Any suggestions? Please and thank you!

Ps: I live in Minnesota so the temp is around 40-50 in the fall and spring. And winter it gets as cold as -20. Summer it gets up to 70-80.

Honestly? I think that cooler weather is the best fashion opportunity. There's so much potential to dress cute, because cold weather = wearing more clothes. I hate fashion in summer because all there is to wear are flip flops and shorts.


Like somebody said below, layering is awesome. You can do it simple: layering basic, different color tanks with some cute jeans. Or, you can play it up, and layer a cute sweater vest over a plain, long sleeve shirt.


You just have to use what you've got. Find new ways to mix your clothes. Buy basic pieces that you can wear in a ton of different ways. And buy a few really bold pieces of clothing that you can wear on special days.


Also, look for ideas in magazines. I know a lot of the time, the spreads are nothing close to what anybody would wear to school, but a lot of the time you can take the look and make it appropriate for school. Know what I mean?


Have fun :)

Well I would do some layering, layering is very fashionable especially in Japan. I would do like some cool thin long sleeved undershirts and some spandex under skirts and you could do a thing where you put the leg warmers over the spandex that is really cool my friend Rie used to do that (she is from Japan). You could wear some knitted styles, like a knitted shawl or something over your outfit. Boots are cute too with short skirt. I'll give you some links to pics:

You really want to keep your feet and head warm cause that's where most of the body heat escapes from...

These kinds of stylish boots with some tights or spandex or these:

These types of tights will keep your legs warm when you wear skirts or shorts which would be really cute! Hope these pics helped! :)
