Summarize:

Being able to take off layers is extremely important in the winter. Wear a shirt that is easy to pull over your head or that has buttons or a zipper. Try wearing a button-down shirt over your base layer, since these are easy to take off. Another option is to wear a lightweight sweater that you can easily pull off if you get too warm. Getting too hot inside can also make it seem colder when you go back outside. Sturdy, thick materials like these are ideal for a middle layer because they'll keep you warm but they're breathable, so you're less likely to get overheated. A flannel shirt worn with a pair of jeans and hiking boots is a great way to show off your rocker style even when the weather is cold. A wool sweater worn over a skirt with leggings and knee-high boots is a cute, preppy winter outfit. Lightweight materials like nylon aren't going to do much to keep you warm, even if you're wearing multiple layers. Opt for heavier fabrics like denim, corduroy, and wool to ensure you stay toasty during the coldest months. You may also want to invest in a pair of pants with a thermal lining. Sweatshirts are the ultimate in casual comfort. Choose a basic sweatshirt or opt for a hoodie or a zip-up sweatshirt. A zip-up hoodie will be easiest to remove indoors, but there are lots of other styles to choose from. You don't want to wear a heavy coat indoors all day, but it still be a little cool in your office or classroom. A cardigan will keep you warm at work, at school, or anywhere else indoors, and it's easy to take off if it gets a little warm. Layer a cardigan over a nice blouse for a day when it's cool but not freezing. Wear a cardigan over a sweater for days when it's really cold out. You don't have to sacrifice your style just because the weather is cold. Add a warm twist to your favorite dress by layering it over cold-weather pieces, or choose a sweater dress that's perfect for winter. A sleeveless dress worn over a long-sleeved turtleneck looks cozy and chic. A pair of black leggings with a black or dark-colored dress gives you an instant style boost. Wear a sweater dress with leggings and ankle boots for a look that's fun and casual. Add a vest over your sweater dress for even more warmth.
