It is often said that winter is the right time to re-wear old outfits and layer it up with the good ol' quintessential winter attires. But does that mean we must give up on style and creativity? It means we have an opportunity to revamp our wardrobe and think out of the box to beat the cold fashionably.

So, mid-day spoke to actress Harshita Gaur aka Dimpy Pandit of Mirzapur, to curate a list of outfits and styling tips that would help you attune yourself with the flavour of the season.

Embrace the baggie sweater

Well, unlike popular notion, a baggie sweater one of the most fashion piece of outfit you can have in your winter collection. Baggie sweaters have a way of coming back in every era, so, they are pretty much timeless and even versatile. Harshita says, "You can pair it up with blue denim or leggings" and even sport a woollen cap if you're feeling particularly innovative. It makes for a delightful day look.

Add some white

While winter is most definitely the time to wear dark colours and heavy fabrics, white adds an edge to a suave winter look. White is a timeless colour and helps bring out the richness of the darker hues. Team up a white turtle neck sweater with a dark brown palazzo, wrap a bright-coloured scarf around your neck and you instantly have a breezy yet wintery ensemble.

Beanie caps never fail

A classic beanie cap is probably one of the most versatile winter outfits, says Harshita. Team it up with blazers, coats, denim and sweaters, dresses, and they can add a hint of glamour instantly. They can go from classy to street-style effortlessly. They are also a good way to protect yourself from the chilly wind.

Make it Grey

Greys and blacks must get a prominent spot in any winter outfit list. The colour Grey adds just the right amount of seriousness and sophistication to a look. Try pairing a Grey woollen dress with a dark brown long coat and finish the look with a pair of boots. You can also casually wrap a red scarf around your neck for a touch of brightness. This combo will make for a perfect winter brunch ensemble.

Cling to the classics

When it doubt, pull out the classics. Black and white will probably never go out of style and winter is the time to experiment with these two iconic colours. There is no one way to wear black and white so get creative. You can start with pairing a pair of white wide-legged jeans with black turtle neck sweater and a brown leather jacket. Finish the look with a black leather cap and you're ready to turn heads around.

Go denim on denim

Another classic and truly timeless combination that could make you look like a diva even when you are not feeling fashionable. Team up a pair of black denim jeans with a blue denim shirt and that's quite it! You instantly have a trendy yet timeless look for literally any time of the day.
