Bored about wearing the same styles again and again? It’s winter and it is really a lot colder than summer. Hurry up and take some twists. Here are some ways to improve your style without taking too much money.
-Maria Eloisa C. Mora
First, gather all your old winter clothes. You can arrange them according to their colors if you like. Note that when you say improving your style, it does not always mean buying new clothes. You can always make a new style from your old clothes.
Next is to focus on them and think of a new style that you want to wear this time. (Always remember that the best style is still in your own choice.) You have to be comfortable in what you are going to wear. The secret to dressing well on a budget is to have a small group of mix and match clothes in your wardrobe which coordinate in colour, fabric, and shape with all the pieces interchangeable. It becomes a perfect capsule of clothing, created by you for yourself.
Usually, winters are for coats and jackets. It is often tricky to find the right kind of coats that really fits to your body built and to your complexion.
From the URL, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_analysis; winter is, along with summer, one of the two "cool" palettes. This means that a person who is a winter should wear colors that have blue undertones. Winters differ from summers because their skin tends to contrast dramatically with their hair and eye color, and therefore seem “intense.” This means that they look best when dressed in colors that are relatively more intense, and that contain sharper contrasts, than would look best on a person belonging to the other "cool" season (summer).
Winter coats, more often than not, tend to be practical and warm but there is something depressing about swamping your entire outfit in fur the minute you walk out the door.

Being able to put together a look for ourselves that we like and that makes us feel terrific is essential. This year, why not advance in a more glamorous result? Fake fur coats and jackets are a great way to keep up the Christmas party look from head to toe, indoors and outdoors.
Some tips in planning to mix your clothes from http://www.define-your-style-clothes-magic.com/mix-and-match.html: Do not duplicate your basic colours. Choose between black or navy or brown (which is now the new black). Build your wardrobe as you would a house - foundation first, then add and embellish, mix and match, and enrich season after season, year after year, always keeping the same foundation. You should have a selection of hot (warm), cool, basic and light colours in your wardrobe.
Hot colours – red, peach, pumpkin, purple, lilac, coral, yellow, pink, wine or burgundy
Cold colours – blue, teal, emerald, turquoise, apple green, aqua, midnight blue, mint, bottle green.
Basic colours – navy, black, gray, brown, stone, tan.
Light colours – white, ivory, cream
Most mistakes result from having too many bottoms and very few tops. You need to have at least five tops for every skirt or trousers you own. People will always notice your top half more than your bottom half. Be consistent and keep everything toned. These pieces are the skeleton of your wardrobe. Colours and prints will come later as you add tops, scarves and other pieces.

Tops and bottoms with different printed patterns will not mix and match well. It is best to buy your major print first (one you absolutely love), and then pick up the plain colours from the strongest colours in the print. 75% of your wardrobe should be plain colours, 25% could be prints. Shapes of clothes need to be classically simple, pure, clean. Details also – nothing too fashiony - keep them simple. All the shapes must work together, so that a jacket can be worn with not just one skirt or trousers, but with two or three, and perhaps with a dress as well. If you find one shape that suits you and that you love in any items (trousers, blouses, sweaters), and if it works as a good basic, stick to it. You could even buy several in that shape, of course in tones that suit you.
If you need to span seasonal changes, begin with your autumn / winter clothes. Winter fabrics are more expensive and therefore winter clothes are more expensive. It is best to begin looking for pieces that are season less – silk blouses, wool sweaters, cardigans (which be worn as summer jackets), raincoats with button out linings, jersey pieces which can be layered on in colder weather and worn alone in summer.
If you spend most of your time in a work environment, you will be surrounded by many of the same people every day. You will want to change your look each day for them as well as for yourself. For this kind of flexibility you will need a minimum of twelve pieces of clothes:
a) Two jacket
b) Three skirts or trousers
c) Four blouses or tops
d) Two sweaters
e) One dress
“Always remember that the best style is still in your own choice.”
Finally, you can have your mixed winter clothes that would fit to your personality. It can also be a suggestion to buy something that you would like to add to your new style if you want to. (But do not forget to be practical.) They are also fantastically cozy, so you won’t get cold while enjoying your get-up.
