A peak inside winter fashion

Winter is slowly and bitterly passing us by. With the frigid season beginging December 21st, 2008 many hot winter trends were recognized long before that time.Just because it's a new year doesnt mean the 2008 winter trends don't follow us into the year of 2009. If hitting the winter sale racks or just simply having a late start of purchasing your winter clothes the upcoming blog postings will come in handy. Even though Spring clothes are already hitting the stores, we have to face reality that it is still winter.Staying warm is probably one of the most important factors on our minds at this time of the year. Staying warm and looking stylish at the same time can be a hard thing to accomplish. Choosing the right coat and color is a great place to start. While shopping, keep in mind that black is a color you can always rely on, it never goes out of style. If just wanting to keep it simple, but yet casual, go for something as mild as a tan pea coat, displayed on Britney Spears below. Tan matches well with many different colors and pea coats can easily be thrown together with many different outfits. If tan is too simple and you would like to spice things up go for plaid. Plaid seems to be real hip this season, especially if you want to be noticed. Plaid is not only a great choice to pick for jackets but for pants, shirts, tights, and even jeans as well. Pictured below is Rhianna pulling off one of the hottest styles this winter. If bold enough to be this bright, make sure you keep the rest of your outfit simple. If plaid isn't your favorite way of spicing up your style go for animal print. Animal print is a popular print that's going to last long into the seasons ahead.Just like plaid, if wearing animal print be sure to make the rest of your outfit simple. Pictured below is Jessica Simpson beautifully wearing a knee long animal print winter jacket with hot accessories to go along with it. This winter there are many different styles to choose from.

Choosing a jacket that can work for both the office and party season seems to be another hot style occuring this season. Purchasing a jacket of this choice can even be worn throughout the upcoming seasons as well. Angelina Jolie, pictured below, pulls off a perfect example of this particular winter coat. It's stylish and can be worn for many different occasions.

Winter jackets can tell a lot about a person, so choosing one that describes you with a style you desire the most is very important. Just a glimpse of 2008's most fashionable coats were just revealed. View "Glam it up" next week which will be returning with even more of the hottest 2008 winter trends.
