  After layering up, outerwear is essential to staying warm and dry.  Pair a pea coat with a houndstooth scarf for a more traditional preppy look.  On the rainier days  stick with a colorful or beige rain coat, again a traditional look that can't go wrong.

This pattern compliments the muscles.  Ok, maybe not, but it looks great.  For a put-together collegiate look, wear an oxford underneath.  Now pair it with a red or yellow scarf, and a peacoat on top.  See how easy that is?

Women's fashion



This year's winter is expected to be a cold one. Staying fashionable and warm in the blustery months to come isn't always an easy task. These versatile fashion tips are guaranteed to keep you looking hot even on the coldest of days. Perfect for going to class, hanging out on campus, or even going out. Looking good and staying warm has never been easier.

Bold boots



There is something for everyone in the wonderful world of footwear this fall! Options built for comfort vary from colorful rain boots to flat saddle boots in black or deep browns. As far as wellies go, some of our favorite patterns include polka dots, plaid and argyle. Go traditional with Hunter rain boots, or splurge on some Burberry's. Either style is complemented great with a tasteful pair of skinny jeans.

Winter accessories



On bad hair days, prevent the rainy frizz by wearing a black beret for a classy Parisian look. Plaid ear muffs are also a great way to stay warm while still keeping a cute 'do. Try pairing pencil skirts or a shorter dresses with opaque or cable-knit tights. Last but surely not least, we live in one of the rainiest city's in the America, that's what umbrellas were created for. Make a statement with the print of your umbrella.

Men's fashion



Don't get us wrong: North Face is great. If you're going camping. Taken the camper out lately? No? Then dress like you're in civilization. Men generally have more practical looks when it comes to fashion, but that doesn't mean they cannot add a unique spin to their khakis. Here are a few very simple suggestions to keeping warm and looking good this winter.

Scarves



Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the scarf, a piece of fabric worn on the neck for warmth. They generally come in wool for the winter months. A scarf is essential to every man's wardrobe. Colors such as sunflower yellow and deep ruby red are best for a classic look that stands out.


Shoes



To complete your cold weather and fashion friendly look, wear a pair of Sperry Top Siders with fun patterned socks, or a simple pair of saddle boots for a slightly edgier twist.
