Warm Winters: A Fashion Guide
Perks of going to school in LA: never-ending beach days, fantastic shopping, and the constant excitement of possibly seeing a celebrity. However, we here at FAST believe that the greatest perk of LA is its weather. Besides the occasional downpour or heatwave, LA is notoriously famous for its consistently 75° days. But there is a downside to this...LA weather doesn't really allow for cold weather clothing, yet alone any winter trends. Want to walk around in a trench coat and earmuffs? Good luck overheating.
But before you start worrying about not being able to wear your favorite winter coat, FAST will show you some killer ways to incorporate winter trends into outfits better suited for LA weather. Below are 7 reimagined winter trends that will totally work for "winter" in LA.
- Leather: Pairing leather with a cute crop top or short skirt as opposed to something full coverage can easily transition the wearability of this fabric.

2. Suede: A suede coat is a classic medium for the wintery fabric, but wearing a suede dress or skirt is more suitable for LA temperatures.

3. Turtle Necks: Turtlenecks are back in style, especially during winter months. Wear them with a skirt or as a dress to avoid overheating.

4. Jewel Tones: Jewel tones are beautiful for any season, but are especially apt for cool winter vibes. Wear colors like emerald, ruby, and navy in more exposed fashions (or makeup) to execute this trend more refreshingly for warmer winters

5. Cropped Long Sleeve Tops: If you’re afraid you’ll overheat in a long sleeve shirt, wear a cropped one.

7. Plaid: Plaid in the winter doesn’t have to be a Burberry scarf; it works just as well on a skirt or dress.
