COMFORTABILITY AND FUNCTION DO NOT HAVE TO BE SACRIFICED FOR

FASHION, ESPECIALLY IN THE COLDER SEASONS.
ACCORDING TO JENNIFER ANDERSON, I-S-U DESIGN ADMINISTRATION MEMBER,
ONE CAN BE BOTH WARM AND FASHIONABLE IF DESIRED.
BUT ANDERSON SAYS, IF SOMEONE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A MARSHMALLOW,
THEY’RE DOING WINTER WRONG.
ONE’S WARMTH AND SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS COME FIRST, RATHER THAN
BEING COLD, UNHEALTHY, OR UNDERDRESSED.
IT MAY TAKE UNDERSTANDING AND RESEARCH, BUT FEELING WARM WHILE
BEING ON TREND IS EASIER THAN MANY THINK.
IN A MIDWEST WINTER, ANDERSON RECOMMENDS LOOKING FOR FILL POWER
AND LOFT IN A DOWN COAT.
ACCORDING TO ANDERSON, ONE WAY TO FEEL WARM IS TO WEAR BASE LAYERS
UNDER MORE FASHIONABLE CLOTHING.
ALTHOUGH, LAYERS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE.
NAJLA EVANS, AN I-S-U DESIGN STUDENT, SAYS THAT SHE FEELS CONSTRICTED WITH
LAYERS.
EVANS WOULD TAKE THE ROUTE OF OVERSIZED SWEATERS, COMBAT BOOTS
AND SCARVES. AND, ONLY WHEN WINDY.
SO, TREND AND NEEDED WARMTH VARY BY EACH PERSON.
BUT, THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT TO A CHILLIER WARDROBE IS FEELING
COMFORTABLE AND LOVING ONE’S OWN WARDROBE.
