It’s that time of year again where comfort meeting style is a necessity. So I teamed up with Chicago Fashion Bloggers, Ticket & Tag, to get some inspiration on what they’re wearing this snowy season. Here’s what they came up with:

Stacey (pictured below): “Believe it or not this dress is from Kensie’s winter 2015 looks.  We tend to wear dark colors in the winter and bundle up in bulky pieces.  I wanted to wear something colorful and light in opposition of the typical winter choice.  I paired it with a leather coat and fishnets to give the outfit slight edge.  I always feel bold when wearing fishnets.  I try to get away with it as often as I can.  I like this outfit because you can wear it somewhere like Parson’s during the day and also to dinner at night.”

Jess (pictured below): “Each winter I love to have a statement coat. This one felt like a great mix of old-fashioned glamour and modern tomboy. I love that you can change up the style to create a blanket effect or cocoon silhouette for colder days. In Chicago you need to be able to stay warm even when you are trying to look nice for a holiday party and this coat is my solution!”

Stacey (pictured below): “In this outfit I was thinking the opposite as my Parson’s outfit. Ha! I wanted something that was cozy and warm for winter.  Fuzzy and textured materials seemed to be prevalent in many Winter 2015-2016 collections.  I didn’t want to miss out on the comfy trend.  I have so much plaid in my wardrobe and tend to use it as a faithful staple piece year round.  The floppy hat can dress up any outfit nicely or any felt hat for that matter.  A hat adds a fashionable element to any outfit.  This is perfect for brunch and shopping around Logan Square on a cold day.”
