Winter outfits

Winter outfits for cold weather and the holiday season: coats, knits, boots, tights, velvet and long sleeves. The posts here cover Christmas parties and family days, date nights among the Christmas lights, and winter weddings, where the challenge is looking dressed up while staying warm.

Winter wedding posts range from formal gowns to casual dresses with boots, with ideas for layers such as wraps, coats and shawls. See winter wedding guest dresses and wedding guest dresses with boots.

Warmth comes from layers rather than one thick piece: thermal tights under a dress, a fine knit under a blazer, a long coat over everything. Velvet, satin and sequins bring the holiday shine, and the dress code decoder explains what a winter evening dress code expects.

For the holidays, start with casual old money Christmas outfits or Christmas date night outfits. Posts that work in any season appear here as well.
