It is that time of
the year when the sun rises late in the morning and sets early
in the day. And yet, in spite of dullness yet there is something
bright and happy about the season, and globally it marks a time
of festivity. This is the winter season.
In the northern sector of the world living above the equator the
winter season generally lasts from November to February and for
those in the southern hemisphere the season is from June to
August. But, irrespective, it is that time of the year when the
woolies are brought out and light clothing are kept in hiding. |
Winter dresses are rather heavy and made
out of fabric that make the wearer feel warm and comfortable. But, then
it is the thermals that are still a requisite as well as the cardgians
and the sweaters, mufflers and overcoat, depending on the temperatures.
Getting back to the dresses worn in the winter, designers usually create
patterns from wool that can be worn with leggings. And the colors are
usually dark and sombre ranging from the common black to the dark and
not flashy reds, as well as the darker greens and blues.
Silver is usually the ornament, as well as the embroidery and the
flashes of adornment. Usually, the dresses are high collared and
full-sleeved. However, another common fashion off late has been the
layered clothing.
The layered dresses for winter would include the leggings worn on the
legs, as well as the trendy ones worn on the arms. On top of this would
be a skirt or capris with a t-shirt, then a shirt and below another
lighter skirt. On top of all this would be a miffler or scarf with a
cardigan.
This is also known as the ragged look, but keeps one warm all the same.
And the best part of this, is that one need not step out of the house
and buy something new, but wear whatever is in their wardrobes in
layers… Mix and matched.
Thus, winter wear seems to have called for plenty of innovation and
creativity.
