Fashion Czar: Winter Woes

Fashion Czar is a comment from the Editor, Alexa Pizzi.

It's the start to a new semester. With the terrible sub zero weather Syracuse has been seeing lately, a temperature of 32 degrees today was refreshing! It practically felt like Spring. Okay not really. But honestly, 32 is better than nothing. Walking in the winter weather is not conducive to dressing chic, but at Syracuse we try our best.

How is everyone staying stylish in the snow? When many stores and designers are debuting their Spring lines, Syracuse is still shopping for Winter.

We've been seeing a lot of over-the-knee leather boots and combat boots even in the snow! I've sadly been trudging around the slush in my Hunter rain boots and my chestnut Ugg's. Although my choice of footwear is practical it is not ideal. I would love to be wearing leather boots but I know the salt would get the best of them.

Fur is everywhere. Fur coats, fur hats, fur collars, and most popular... fur vests. Fur is stylish and even better, warm. From Chanel to Jean Paul Gaultier, the best of 2010 were showing off the classic revival.

Velvet has been popping up a lot lately. I spotted black velvet leggings on a girl at the Warehouse Tuesday. They looked so warm and much edgier than your basic leggings. Banana Republic showed off a velvet suit on the Fall 2010 runway. Target sells an affordable Velour pair for nearly $7!Target

Syracuse, don't let Winter get the best of your style. Get your closets ready for Spring and stay tuned for the best of the RTW 2011.
