Street Style - Cozy Loose Layers

Yup. It's cold outside. And while big down jackets and wool coats are a great way to stay warm, donning layers is the way to keep insulated. Loose layers are a chic way to stay cozy and comfortable and is a great way to look nonchalantly stylish.
Plus, freezing winds outside means war toasty heat indoors. Layers are a great way to customize just how warm you want to be. Try long infinity scarves or thigh grazing cardigans and sweaters, or look for loosely draped long sleeved tops and tunics. Bright colors are a good way to break up the look and give your ensemble a distinct direction, saving you from looking like you rolled haphazardly in a pile of knitwear.
Wear these layering pieces over jeans or leggings and under an oversized anorak for a laid-back vibe, or try a cute tweed skirt and OTK boots under a wool coat for a classic winter look. Click on the slideshow to see some favorite ways to get the loose, layered look for yourself!
