[tps_header]Art, unfortunately, doesn’t always suit life\u201dwhenever I see winter runway shows or collections, I often think, \u00a6but would these actually work in a real<\/em> winter?\u009d Some materials and cuts just don’t weather salt slush and wind chills well, and when the weather gets vicious, it can be hard to think of experimenting with new clothing.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, many of this\u00a0season’s trends are actually viable even in a Canadian winter. Here are some sound directives for styling yourself all winter long. [\/tps_header]<\/p>\n

Play with textures<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Athleisure\u009d and normcore\u009d were more than just passing portmanteaus: they reopened the ready-to-wear garment industry to a whole bunch of new materials and textures like neoprene, viscose and machine-washable cashmere. If you’re going to layer up anyway, try introducing a new type of polyester blend or even vinyl into the mix for a little touch of genre-bending. Wear it: TOPSHOP MOTO Vinyl Jamie Jeans<\/a> ($115)<\/p>\n

Keep it military<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As even knits and statement outfits start becoming more tapered, fitted and sedate, keep the tone military-inspired when layering to ensure that nothing clashes, and that the overall look is understated even when dressy. Switch out a tired sweater<\/a> for a minimal but eye-catching bomber jacket for a steelier look that’s also rather versatile. Wear it: ZARA Oversized Bomber Jacket <\/a>($40)<\/p>\n

Stick with shearling<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shearling is back in a big way, whether in capes, hats or even trims for gloves. Anti-fur folks might admittedly hate this, but even fur enthusiasts might bemoan this because the warm stuff is just too darn expensive most of the time. That being said, if you’re looking for a coat<\/a> and you want it to last, remember that faux shearling does<\/em> exist, and there’s little in life more comforting than a faux lining on a cold winter’s day. Wear it: SOSKEN Brodie Herringbone Tweed Coat with Faux Shearling Sleeves<\/a> ($347)<\/p>\n

Collar up<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ditch the chokers, guys\u201dit’s over, really. Embrace the high collars and your neck will thank you no matter what. Turtlenecks never really left the game, but even looser-but-still-structured collars are becoming en vogue, whether they’re part of your new windbreaker or the key detail which makes a slouchy sweater work-friendly. Wear it: Oak + Fort Blouse 1003<\/a> ($68)<\/p>\n

Get puffy with it<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By now we’ve all seen those exaggerated quilted jackets that look both oversized and ridiculously comfy at the same time\u201dit’s a sign that we’re back to embracing architecture and volume in our cuts. To many people it can seem like unnecessary frou frou, but a trumpet sleeve or a pronounced shoulder can often complement your shape with minimal effort. Be careful not to overdo it with frills and ruffles, so that length and structure of the garment itself can do the work for you. Wear it: TOPSHOP Crew Neck Trumpet Sleeve Top<\/a> ($30)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
