Cold Weather Dressing Tips

As we go through the toughest winter months of the season, to stay professional for work, you need to make some modifications to your wardrobe, while still maintaining your business casual attire. Here are some of our best cold weather dressing tips for a business casual winter!

Cold Weather Dressing Tips for Men

Dressing appropriate for work and weather is important. A great wardrobe staple that will keep you warm on chilly days is a V-neck wool sweater paired with a long sleeved button down shirt underneath. This will add layers while still looking professional.

A cable knit sweater is another alternative for staying warm at work. 

A heavier material pant, such as khakis or corduroy, clean and pressed will help keep your legs warm while still maintaining business casual attire.

Your ability to perform at work will be impaired if you are too cold, that’s why outerwear and underwear are important to staying warm. Longjohns containing dri-fit technology will help keep you dry while working indoors, and keep your warm outdoors. Meanwhile, heavy winter hiking boots, a peacoat, a scarf, gloves and a hat are all a must while outdoors to keep everything from your nose to your toes warm.

Cold Weather Dressing Tips for Women

The long sleeved button down shirt with a blazer or sweater works well for women as well as men. Be sure to wear it with a nice pant, and a button down.

If you still enjoy wearing your skirts and dresses in the winter, invest in a pair of thick, or fleece lined tights to lock in heat and keep you warm.

Sweater dresses are your friend in the winter months, just be sure to your sweater dress is long enough to be appropriate for work and paired with opaque tights.

Boots and booties will keep your toes warm while still maintaining a professional look.

Outerwear and underwear are equally important for women. Dress for warmth with a peacoat, scarf, gloves and a hat, while wearing longjohns or tights under pant outfits.

Remember, dressing warm in the winter is important to your health as well as your work performance, but don’t let the weather deter you from dressing with business casual in mind.
