Winter Styles To Survive And Thrive The Cold
Miranda McGovern

Winter can be brutal, but the good news is that your style doesn't have to freeze along with it. Use the cold weather to your advantage and embrace your personal style with layers. Protect your skin from the snow and freezing temperatures with the right style choices. Here are some ideas to stay comfortable and cozy this winter.

Starting at the bottom.

Boots: These boots were made for walking: short, tall, furry, laces, or button up. Wear materials such as leather, suede, and cotton, there are so many options. For brand lovers, Uggs, Sorel and Hunterboots offer some great choices. Get boots that are waterproof for the snow, easy to walk in, and that tie your overall look together.

Leggings: The fight of whether leggings are pants or not is long gone, and now the options for leggings are numerous. I suggest following the new trends of fleece or velvet leggings. These will keep you extra warm in the cold. Victoria's Secret has many options along with Express. Don't splurge on leggings though, there are always affordable options.


Sweaters: A good sweater feels like a warm hug. The great news about sweaters is the versatility between thick, tight, thin, bulky, short or long. You can get them in all shapes and sizes. My favorite style is going for bright bold colors, but for those less adventurous there are still many colors. Turtlenecks are surprisingly in this year as well. Go for something you love at your favorite store. I personally suggest checking out H&M, Maurice's, and Target for some great options.


Coats: I think of a coat as armor to the harsh reality of winter. A coat covers up your fashion for the day, but that doesn't mean it can't be stylish itself. I recommend choosing a coat that is warm and fashionable. It will make you happy when you wear it and feel like your best self. Luckily today's coats are gorgeous and so unique to your personal tastes. Check out the coat rack at Macy's for some affordable designer brands.


Scarves: Is it really winter if you're not wearing a scarf? They are stylish, warm, and beautiful pieces of fabric that can easily add dimension to any fashion look. Infinity scarves are the easiest to wear but there are still many other styles. Be fun with bright, contrasting colors or classic with plaid. Experiment with tying them different ways to make it look extra unique.

Use this easy style guide to survive your way through winter. Boots, sweaters, coats, and scarves are the key to staying warm and fabulous. Also don't be afraid to mix darks with lights, neutrals with patterns, and eye-popping colors to a create an outfit that you love.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
