Winter Wardrobe Essentials

I just booked my ticket to Scotland and I am literally counting down the days. The weather though… I absolutely do not have time for that. I’m a desert baby as I’m sure most of us are and we do not mix well with the cold. Fortunately, I am a master of preparation and you can be too! Opt for cute scarves instead of sniffles and get winter wardrobe ready before your big trip!

1. 200 denier thermal black tights

Black tights are a staple in every wardrobe, and these tights from ASOS (53.13 Dhs) are as warm as they come. Not only are they high waisted and non-transparent, but they’ll also keep you feeling toasty while not compromising your look. Long are the days of layering leggings under jeans, bust out the skirt and show off those legs girl!

2. Touch screen gloves

Nothing is worse than taking off your gloves when you’re all cozy and warm and getting exposed to the cold unyielding rain all for checking a WhatsApp or the newest post on Instagram. Instead, touch screen gloves have got you covered, quite literally! These ones from ASOS (21.25 Dhs) are pocket-friendly, size, and cost wise and are impossibly soft, so go on and invest in a hug for your hands!

3. A long scarf

Quite often the mistake made with scarves is that they aren’t long enough, almost as though length will compromise style but that is just not true! There are so many patterns and colors to choose from now but the most important thing to always keep in mind is that it needs to be long enough to be wrapped around your neck. You don’t wanna get a sore throat while strutting the streets of London or Paris. I personally prefer solid colors and this forest green scarf from ASOS (63.76 Dhs) is to die for but if you prefer a bolder pop of color you will not be disappointed by their collection.

4. A sturdy coat

Just because I’m basic with my scarves does not mean I’m basic with my coats! Faux fur is back with a vengeance and I for one am glad that my favorite trend from the 90s is resurfacing. Awaken your inner fashion influencer and turn heads with a statement coat this winter guaranteed to get you some impressed looks. My favorite is green leopard print one from ASOS (1354.89 Dhs) Although this coat is on the pricer side, they have coats starting from 95 Dhs.

5. Waterproof boots

I am guilty of saving the best for last but boots are my favorite part of any winter outfit and they’re an absolute must-have in colder climates, but make sure that your killer boots aren’t killing your feet! Odds are you’re gonna be walking around a lot exploring a new Europian city and what good is your stunning boots gonna do when you can barely stand in them! Get yourself a comfortable, durable, and ever so stylish pair of boots that give you the confidence to walk as if you own the place! (ASOS 125 Dhs).
