Looking stylish in the Russian winter is an asterisk task. But Russian stylists, bloggers and fashion influencers cope with this with a solid five. Even with a plus. And we’re definitely not exaggerating. They give free layering tutorials almost every day, prove that a hat can look cool, and show you a million ways to tie a trendy scarf.
Therefore, we decided to turn to them for professional advice and learn how to dress at sub-zero temperatures so as not to freeze, but also not to look like a teenager in bologne trousers on a walk.
By the way, many stylists consider the cold season to be their favorite, explaining this by the fact that you can experiment with layers of clothing, try new combinations and add a lot of accessories. Today you will hear advice from fashion phenomenon Alyosha Slavko, producer Philip Lobachev, stylists Elvira Yankovskaya and Victoria Strebkova. And we strongly recommend that you pay attention to them.
Alyosha Slavko, fashion phenomenon
Tip number 1. Don’t forget the insoles
My mother-in-law sends warm woolen insoles to my husband and me every winter. And not just one, but several at once. Insoles are working, 100% tested. And the same beautiful autumn boots can easily turn into winter boots.
Tip number 2. Choose a wool
I encourage you to find that ski mask, and here are some reasons why you need it. First of all, it is warm and covers the entire face. The latter covers the painted cheeks with shaping, which helps not to stain the valuable white fur or the collar of sheepskin coats and down jackets. Third, we also love the hidden effect.
Tip number 3. Bet on touch gloves
The hands that suffer the most in winter are the hands that have to constantly sit on the phone and doodle while running. Get smart gloves and your hands will thank you. I have several pairs so I always keep them with me in my jackets and purse every winter.

Tip number 1. warm your body
To be honest, I don’t button up my jacket and go without a hat almost all winter long. I think I’m lucky in terms of frost resistance. But I insist that people always insulate. Cashmere sweaters, oversized cardigans and comfortable sweaters are at your service. By the way, the latter can be worn with a pointed collar shirt.

Tip 1: Protect your head
Popular beanies, balaclavas and caps in fine knits and especially trendy knitted sequin beanies are perfect for keeping the most important part of the body warm and comfortable. While you can take a single color and create a monochrome look, on the contrary, you can rely on a bright headboard to brighten up the greyness. However, for those who do not like to wrap their necks with scarves and headscarves, wool and a bonnet will be an excellent alternative.
Tip 2: Protect your neck
Winter is truly a wonderful time for those who love stoles and voluminous scarves. Experiment with colors, try binding methods inside and out. For the rest, you can cover your throat with a collared cashmere or wool sweater, a turtleneck, a zip-up sweatshirt, or a hoodie. ⠀
Tip 3: Keep your feet warm
Very successfully in 2023, knee socks and leg warmers in various textures became a trend. Knitted, dense, high and not too long, they will allow you to wear not only high boots, but also ankle boots and boots. Your feet will be warm and comfortable, and you will dress appropriately for the season. A special stylish look is double knee socks placed one on top of the other.

Tip number 1. Wear a hat with ear flaps
Yes, yes, now the Slavic girl core, the style of Slavic girls from the distant nineties and zeros, is gaining momentum all over the world. It’s time to buy earplugs or remove our mothers’ and grandmothers’ fashion accessories from the shelves. You definitely won’t get sick with such a hat, it has been tested for generations.
Tip 2. Wear an apron instead of a scarf
An indispensable item for those who do not like wrapping scarves on the front of their shirts. This accessory will reliably protect your neck from the strongest winds. If the weather gets really wild you can opt for a long version that covers your neck and chest.
