Russian winter is not the most pleasant time for urban fashionistas. Subzero temperatures, endless snow and severe blizzards force even the most desperate street style heroes to transform into something social networks will never see. Oversized hoodies, long down jackets, fleece trousers and woolen shirt aprons are used. Yes, yes, the same ones since deep childhood.
But not everything is so bad. It may be difficult to stay on trend in the winter, but it is still quite possible. Almost any esthete can adapt to the harsh Russian climate and capture two beloved birds with one stone. In this case, the first is responsible for warmth and comfort, and the second is for style.
True, attention should be paid not only to clothes, but also to shoes. And if you think that in winter you can only wear coarse boots with massive soles, high boots, ugg boots or dutton boots, you are very mistaken. Sneakers will also suit your cold season wardrobe very well. We’ll tell you how to wear them to stay warm in February.
Choose models with thick soles
All that matters. And this is a fact. The thicker it is, the warmer your feet will be. Therefore, when choosing winter sports shoes, choose models with thick soles. Don’t forget warm socks or knee socks. As a top, you can choose a voluminous down jacket like the one from Russian fashion influencer Maria Chervotkina. Complete your look with oversized joggers or classic blue jeans.
Add leg warmers to your sneakers
Leg warmers are one of the favorite accessories of fashion influencers and street style heroes. The product has returned to our lives since the 2000s and has become an almost integral part of the fashion image. In early autumn, girls wear leg warmers with shoes, but in winter with UGG boots or sneakers. Look how cool they look in fashion blogger Anya Khavilova’s all-black look! We definitely take it into consideration.
Focus on the top
If you think sneakers only look great with down jackets, sports jackets or thick biker jackets, you are very wrong. Stylists advise not to be afraid to play with contrasts and combine (at first glance) incompatible things. For example, ugly sneakers perfectly complement a classic black fur coat with accented shoulders. Here you can add basic jeans, a cashmere sweater and of course a scarf with a hat.
Tuck your pants into your socks
At the Loewe men’s fashion show that took place just a few weeks ago, the brand’s creative director Jonathan Anderson once again demonstrated a technique that would drive the entire fashion community crazy. The designer recommends tucking trousers into socks, not only sports, but also classic ones. And this trick is perfect for our weather conditions. The important thing is to choose warmer socks. In order not to hide the styling technique, you can wear sneakers on your feet.
Use warm insoles
Fashion phenomenon Alyosha Slavko shared his warm insoles, which are a must in winter, in our article on how not to freeze in sub-zero temperatures. We recommend that you take these into consideration as well. It is best to choose models made of natural wool, then the effect will be much better. If you add the leg warmers we mentioned above to your look, you will not be afraid of the cold.
