Winter fashion for Maryland weather

What’s up my fellow fashionistas! After fall filled with dark lipstick, cute boots, and plenty of pumpkin spice lattes, winter is here! Time to hang up our fall jackets and get ready for some heavy duty chilly whether! I’m talking wool coats, knit scarves, and anything else to try and keep the cold out. It’s time to try and stay warm all day, every day!
…Unless you live in Maryland, where the weather is about as unpredictable as it gets. Some days it’s completely freezing outside, and other days it feels like it’s the middle of April.
While this weather has negative implications for the future of our planet, even more important is what it does to fashion! How is one supposed to dress themselves if they don’t know what season it is going to be tomorrow? But fear not, my fashion friends! After much deliberation, I have put together a handy-dandy list of all the essentials you’ll need this winter(/spring) season! Here is what everyone needs in their closet!
A heavy-duty coat: While cute little jackets work for the fall, it’s winter now, and that means you need something with a few more layers to it. Everyone has a staple coat for the colder months that becomes an essential part of their look, and it’s just about finding what works best for you!
Cute little jackets: Yeah, okay, maybe last week you needed a heavy-duty coat, but today it suddenly feels like May. Cute little jackets, which stop you from being too cold but also are really just there to… well, look cute, are perfect for a state where seasons chance every day!
An iced coffee, or maybe a cool cup of lemonade: Yeah, I know I just said iced coffee is for the summer, but when your winter feels like summer I think that is acceptable to switch things up. Some days it’s just so hot out, and you need a cool drink to stop you from getting a heatstroke. Just fun little Maryland things!
Hardcore boots: Cute little booties are for the fall. We’re in the thick of things now, and that means some knee-high boots that will protect your feet from the cold (and possibly the snow). Cold feet are the literal worst, and that means finding a stylish, protective boot to get you through these longs months.
Flip-flops: We all knows those days when it’s warm outside, the snow is melting, and you could use some of that refreshing water on your feet! A super cute pair of flip-flops is just what you need to get through the warm winter months!
A super cute pair of warm tights: For those cold-cold days when you just can’t wear pants again, tights are what anyone needs to make a skirt or dress doable for the season. But remember: I’m talking WARM! That means cotton or wool, or any other fabric that will keep the cold out. If you’re going to be wearing these instead of pants, then they need to get the job done!
A razor: Yesterday it was freezing and you needed wool tights, but today? It’s totally warm, the breeze is light and refreshing, and you can swear you see some flowers blooming! It’s time to let your legs free, and that means breaking out the razor. Some girls like to take a break from shaving their legs during the wintertime. Ha! Not in Maryland. (Or you could not do that, since this is a gag and women being forced to shave is simply a result of the patriarchal society we have been forced to live in.)
An itsy-bitsy bikini: This might be the most important item on the list! A little swimsuit is perfect for those days when the day before there was a record-breaking blizzard, but you just woke up and all the snow has melted and everyone is having a slip-n-slide party on the quad! You don’t want to be the only one missing out on all the fun just because you forgot to keep a bathing suit handy during the winter months!
Well there we have it folks! Hope these fashion tips can help you get through the long winter/spring months, and keep you warm/cool the entire time! And the best thing about these bits of fashion! They can be worn all year round, so long as you don’t leave our wonderful state of Maryland! That’s right – in this state, you get to be confused about the weather all-year-round!
