HOLIDAY FASHION
BRENT BURFORD/KANSAN
Cold weather requires cozy date night fashion
Freshmen Mike Johnson and Mickayla Chapman enjoy a date downtown, despite the cold weather. Brave the low temperatures with beanies, scarves and peacoats.
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
With holiday spirits high and "cuffing season" in full swing, the winter months create some great date-night opportunities. From ice skating, holiday parties, sleigh rides and bonfires, it is easy to incorporate this season's latest trends into the perfect outfit for any occasion.
With the blustering Kansas weather and freezing temperatures, layers are key. But when paired in the right ways, you can avoid looking lumpy and overdressed. Chunky knit scarves and mittens can be matched with puffer vests, peacoats and oversized sweaters. Skip the snow boots this year and invest in a sturdy pair of neutral-colored riding boots. These are very versatile and can be worn with most jeans, leggings and tights.
OUTDOOR
"I usually just wear riding boots with jeans and a sweater," said Abbie Wenger, a sophomore from Wichita. "I don't think it's all that much harder to dress for winter dates, because it's easy to take any tops you might wear over the summer and pair it with a cardigan."
INDOOR
Hats can be a fun and unique accessory, so perk up your outfit with a variety of beanies in different styles and colors. You can't go wrong with basic black or cream, but feel free to make a statement with bright colors.
When it comes to snuggling up by the fire or baking cookies, you want to be comfortable and still look date-night ready. There are many ways to pull off an effortless and feminine outfit without overdoing it. Neutral-toned sweaters can be paired with just about anything, from colored skinny jeans to skirts with tights. Even something as simple as an oversized sweater and leggings can be dressed up with the right accessories. Pair it with statement pieces such as bold necklaces or earrings.
Try out delicate blouses, and look for ones with lace, beading or other kinds of feminine detailing. When it comes to plans that require you to be more dressed up, Alex Hardee, a sophomore from Shawnee Mission, recommends a sweater dress with a high-waisted belt paired with boots and tights. Don't forget to add some flair to your top half by adding a medium-length, sparkly necklace.
Makeup + Hair
Soft, romantic curls are always the go-to hairstyle for any kind of date, as well as chic updos. But simple braids and buns are a great way to draw attention to your facial features.
Complete your look with the perfect flirty makeup. You can never go wrong with a deep-red or burgundy lip color, while keeping the rest of the face natural. Also, try lining your top and bottoms lashes with black eyeliner and giving it a quick smudge with a Q-tip to create a smoky eye. Then dust on a shimmery, champagne-colored shadow over your lids to create the perfect sultry and polished look.
GUYS
For guys, the clothes you wear are probably the last things on your mind. But whether it is your first date or your 40th, it's always important to make a good impression. This season, forget the jeans and hoodies. Try outfitted khakis, which can be easily paired with a variety of button-ups, sweaters and pullovers.
