Q: Are there any cute snow boots?
Q: Are there any cute snow boots?
A: For traditional snow boots, Sorels are your best bet in terms of style and function. They make tons of different ones, but stores like Free People, Shopbop, and Bloomingdales usually do a good job of buying the coolest styles.

Clockwise from top left: Tan Snow Boot, $140; Navy Snow Boot, $140; Army Green Snow Boot, $150; Blue Snow Boot, $125; SOREL (Available at Free People)
You can also ditch the snow boots altogether and just wear a cool hiking boot and some thick socks instead. The look will be less bulky than a typical snow boot and your arches and ankles will be much better supported. You can even get ones with a high heel, if you're feeling daring.

Q: How can I wear skirts and dresses in the winter without always wearing tights?
A: Try incorporating cute socks into your look or tall, fitted boots. Just make sure you leave a little skin exposed between the top of the boot or sock and the bottom of your skirt. Wear a long coat to cover the exposed leg when you are outside, or layer sheer, matte hosiery underneath your socks or boots for extra (and almost invisible) protection.
Another option is to go long with your dresses and skirts so your whole leg is covered. Then you can wear multiple layers of tights and leggings underneath without them being seen. It's a great way to wear your flowy spring maxi dresses year round.

Q: I like the look of thigh-high boots, but I can't afford real leather ones. Is it worth it to buy faux leather or will they just look cheap?
A: Faux suede looks much more like the real thing in large quantities than faux leather does, but you can also just invest in a great pair of sleek black suede booties and then wear them with thick black over-the-knee socks for a very similar look.

Q: What's the difference between fancy sweatpants you can wear outside and regular sweatpants? And how are you supposed to style them?
A: The difference is all in the details:
1. The ends of the drawstrings should be nicely finished or have those little metal caps on them. They shouldn't just be tied in knots.
2. They should be drapey, but not as thin as jersey sweatpants or lounge pants.
3. They should be cropped at the ankles and either tapered or have nice, wide, tight-fitting elastic, instead of being overly long and loose.
4. It's also nice if they have sophisticated details like tuxedo striping, leather accents, or contrast waist and ankle bands to show that they are different from normal sweatpants.

Light Gray Sweatpants, JACK WILLS, $60; Dark Gray Sweatpants, FIRTH (Available at Gilt), $89
As far as how to wear them, the most important thing to remember is to keep them slouchy. Wear them low across you hips and pair them with a loose, drapey top, tucked in in the front, or something tight with a loose jacket over it.

Q: How can I wear sweaters without looking totally shapeless?
A: Avoid ribbed hems, which make sweaters fit tighter around the bottom and then blouse out on top.
Instead, look for fitted, body-con sweaters with ribbing from top to bottom, or cropped styles that you don't have to tuck in.
Another solution is to actually go longer and looser, with a more oversized sweater, and then pair it with something sleek and form-fitting on the bottom, like a pencil skirt or a pair of skinny jeans. It won't give you much shape on top, but it will draw attention to your shape on the bottom.
