  • (1888PressRelease) January 12, 2012 - With the UK gripped in the annual winter freeze, online luxury fashion accessories Moodys Worldwide gave their advice on staying warm and chic. Forget tent-like chunky sweaters bunching uncomfortably under heavy winter coats. The message instead is sophisticated, shape-flattering layering with strategic use of belts, scarves, pashminas and shawls. And legwarmers are back in a very big way.

    "Layering helps you stay warm without having to resort to bulky items, whilst adding panache and flair. Jersey is a fabulous fabric to start with, as it will both accentuate curves and still drape where required. And remember, draped jersey cuts lend themselves really well to belts, wide for drama or traditional narrow styles".

    Add contrasting colours to brighten more muted shades of winterwear. You can begin with a long sleeved stretch 'T shirt', over which you add your warmer sweater. Or use a finer knit long-sleeved cardigan underneath a three quarter length sweater. This looks fantastic with those larger buttons you'll often find on wider knits. Another winter trick is waterfall cardigans with a pretty pin to hold them in place at the front. The look is superbly feminine, but again, you'll stay warm without that bulky, padded look.

    "Fabrics to look out for your top piece are wool and cashmere - both are beautifully warm yet allow your skin to breathe. You'll appreciate this as you move indoors from the cold".

    Finish your look with an elegant scarf. Here, you can think about generously proportioned pashminas and shawls, which will wrap right around your shoulders over your coat, sealing in heat. Detailed finishes work well to help break up larger colour blocks, bringing the glamour back intro your winter wardrobe.

    "Another trick is a cleverly rouched scarf, because it gives an instant soft, feminine contrast to your heavier weight winter coats. Or use a traditional narrow scarf to add a much needed splash of colour. Scarves are also obviously a wardrobe staple for whenever you wear your hairstyle 'up'. Linen, wool and knitted silk are all soft on your skin yet luxuriously warm. And another great option here is the traditional silk square,"

    Finally, legwarmers are one fashion item you shouldn't be seen without this winter. Upmarket winter tones have already been seen on celebrity legs and they're perfect for keeping your ankles and feet toasty, whether you're on the street or on the sofa. This season you can officially play with colour, and wear them long. Detail is good, and it's likely that this fashion trend is so practical its going to last far more than one season.

    "Bringing it all together is a question of texture and colour. One of the problems with winter clothing is that it tends to come as an expanse of muted tones. Each accessory should add the touch of colour and detail you need to lift the look. Careful accessorising will also complement the darker, smokier tones of your winter make-up".
