Fall is officially here, which means it’s time to say ” goodbye” to the sunny days of summer and ” hello” to chilly autumn weather. With cooler temperatures on the way, you might find yourself dreading the thought of bundling up in drab, unflattering cold-weather clothing to stay warm. Luckily, you don’t need to choose between dressing warmly and staying on trend! Ohio Valley Goodwill has everything you need to stay warm and look great throughout the fall season. Here are some of our top tips to stay warm in style:
Get a great coat (or two!)
Cold weather often means covering up your outfit with a coat each time you step outside. After a while, it’s easy to become bored with your limited outerwear options. Ohio Valley Goodwill to the rescue! We have a wide selection of fall and winter coats in many different styles, colors, and patterns. With great prices that are just a fraction of what you can find in a department store, you can stock up on a few winter coats for any type of outfit, whether it’s dressy, casual, or somewhere in-between.
Layer, layer, layer!
With temperatures that frequently change throughout the day, fall is the perfect time to experiment with layering. Shop at Goodwill for key layering pieces including tee shirts, vests, cardigan sweaters, turtlenecks, and light jackets. The best part about layering is that you can always add or remove a layer if you’re too warm or cold, which is convenient on unpredictable fall days!
Mix and match textures
Incorporating a mix of fabric textures will allow you to dress for the weather without looking or feeling too bulky. Start with a thinner piece such as a long sleeved tee shirt, silk blouse or camisole. Then, choose an outer layer in fabrics that help lock in body heat, like wool, flannel, or cashmere. Textured pants and trousers made from corduroy fabric or wool tweed are also perfect for cold, wintry days. Top off your outfit with cold-weather accessories such as a blanket scarf, and knit hat or headband for a cozy-chic look.
Stay warm while working out
Working out in the cold weather can be downright miserable without the right gear! Don’t be left out in the cold; look for lightweight yet insulated athletic wear like leggings, long sleeved tees, and zip-up jackets to keep you warm on your next run or jog.
You don’t need to let the cold weather put a damper on your fashion sense! Ohio Valley Goodwill has an ever-changing inventory of stylish and affordable cold-weather clothing and accessories to ensure your winter wardrobe is anything but boring.
