Winter Fashion Tips for Women

What does winter fashion mean for women with psoriasis? Just like any other time of year, there's no reason you can't be comfortable and look great. Here are some highlights from this season's fashion-forward trends for any budget, age, and figure.

This winter, designers threw out the seasonal handbook. Instead, they turned to traditional springtime garb—skirts, feminine looks, dresses, and classic colors. The trend is casual-classy and always comfortable.

Layers are tops
Layered tees and sweaters have a boyish bent—and a forgiving effect for any frame. Layers are a great way to keep from overheating. A soft, cotton shell is a perfect first layer to keep moisture away from your skin. So go nuts—it's almost impossible to make a mistake.

Basic black—and white
Whether it's an oversized houndstooth check or a mod graphic look, black and white is a bold statement this season. However, many of the popular wintertime fabrics, like synthetics and scratchy wool, can be really irritating. So try adding a cotton layer next to your skin for maximum comfort.

Skirts or pants, it's your choice
Maybe you think the mini isn't for you, but here's some news that may make you rethink your hemline. Leg wear is back and bold—in bright, opaque colors and wonderful breathable cotton knits. Pair opaque tights with knee-high boots and you're only hinting at—instead of baring—skin.

But minis aren't your only skirt option. There are A-line and knee-length or mid-calf pencil skirts. One is sure to fit your comfort level and your frame.

Just not the skirt type? Cargos are still hot, and super skinny pants that are comfortable are a must-have. Both come in soft, natural fibers that are easily washable.

Cheap and easy chic
Top-name retailers are catching on to our need for accessible fashion. So some of the hottest designers are now available at some of the hipper budget-friendly chains. Their prices make it a little easier to pick up a trendy item with a limited life span. So have fun. Attract some attention—and feel great about it!
