They say beauty requires sacrifice. And we add: fashion too. Fashion influencers and street style heroes often wear things that are downright disturbing and downright weird, just because they’re trendy. Yes, yes, we’re talking about the same Diesel skirts (which are impossible to sit in), MSCHF astro boots and, of course, I Wanna Bangkok branded Hulk mules. And that’s not to mention the latex jumpsuits, tight corsets, and high-platform shoes that are just perfect for falling spectacularly.
But there are also items in the wardrobe that are not only unwearable, but also harmful. True, there are these too. And this is primarily due to weather conditions in Russia. Since temperatures can drop to minus 30 degrees during the winter months, some fashionable products can cause health problems.
After this sentence, many may think that the author of the material is an incorrigible suffocation who has taken too many lessons in the grandmothers’ club, but this is not so. Today we will tell you about seven things you should not wear in winter. We will also tell you what you can replace them with.
short coat
A down jacket is a 100% must-have in winter, but not all models are suitable for the harsh Russian winter. And the shortened version definitely makes it onto this list. First of all, such a down jacket may cause your back to feel cold. Secondly, long sweaters and cardigans will look strange with shortened outerwear.
It is best to replace this model with a longer one. Place your bet on oversized down jackets and maxi options. Also be sure to check which down jacket suits your zodiac sign.
Container
The classic hat has long been not only part of the uniform of baseball players, but also the best friend of all streetwear fans, fashionable Parisians and, of course, stars. However, this cap is definitely not suitable for the Russian winter, as it does not cover the ears. The lid can cause otitis media and other unpleasant consequences.
Our fashion department recommends swapping the baseball cap for a trendy beanie, hat or balaclava.
Mini skirt
You can only wear miniskirts in winter if you live in the south of Russia. But fashionistas in the capital need to give up extremely short lengths. And there are two reasons for this. First of all, this clothing can cause hypothermia. Secondly, cellulite may occur. And this is not a joke. The fact is that the body will begin to produce more fat to protect itself from the cold. That’s why mini skirts should be replaced with midi or maxi, and don’t forget about tights.
Low Waist Jeans
Low-waisted jeans have been a big trend in recent years and have come back to us since the 2000s. True, you should not create a winter look using a trendy item. The reason is still the same: hypothermia. If you wear this type of jeans, your lower waist can easily catch cold. Therefore, it is best to replace a low rise with a high or medium rise. By the way, we explained how to choose the right jeans in a separate article.
tight scarf
Another fashionable item that is definitely not suitable for the Russian winter is a tight scarf. This product also came back into our lives from the 2000s and attracted all the attention of fashion influencers and street style heroes during the summer months. They wear a fashion accessory along with jackets, sweaters, dresses and duffles. True, such a scarf has one drawback: it is absolutely useless. At least when the temperature outside is below zero. It should be replaced with a long and, most importantly, warm-colored scarf. We talked more about the trend here.
glove
European fashionistas love leg warmers and gloves. They wear the first with ugg boots, sneakers and even moccasins, and the second with coats, sheepskin coats and rough leather jackets. This accessory provides excellent warmth when the temperature outside is zero, but there is no point in wearing gloves in Russian frosts. Our fashion department recommends replacing the item with gloves or mittens (to join the Slavic Bimbo Girl trend). By the way, we also talked about the benefits of gloves in a separate article.
ankle boots
Russian winter and high heels are two completely incompatible things. And stiletto heels are even more so. Firstly, there is a high risk of falling, and secondly, it is easiest to freeze in thin-soled boots. Our advice: Choose shoes with hard soles.
