Lessons in Layering: 5 Winter Outfit Ideas From the Chic Streets of Paris

Stylist and blogger Tina Leung winterizes her spring-ready floral dress by Rochas by cozying into an ber-luxe oversize cashmere coat by Celine. The length of the jacket hits at just the right point to show a peek of the floral brocade but still keep her warm. Since it was Paris Couture Week, Tina opted for fashion over function with bare legs and mirrored gold Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, but for the rest of us braving the elements, tights, and ladylike ankle booties would work too.

Fashion photographer Zhanna Romashka has some straight-up fun mixing and matching prints, styles, and textures with this delightful outfit. She creatively contrasts her lipstick red feathery mini with nautical elements—a Greek fisherman's cap, a striped Breton top, and a seriously cute cropped duffle coat—and finishes it off with not one but two of the hottest accessories of the season: the Chanel No. 5 perfume clutch from the 2014 resort collection. While the complete look might be hard to pull off in everyday life, you could take elements as inspo—like a nautical top and toggle coat paired with a bright, ruffly skirt, or layer on a couple of statement bags for a night out.
