Denver is always a special place no matter what time of year it is, but there’s something especially magical about Christmas season in the Mile-High City. <\/span>Denver\u2019s winter festivals<\/span> are among the best in the nation \u2014 perfect for couples, families, friends and, of course, Instagram!<\/span><\/p>\n

One especially Instagrammable <\/span>outdoor winter activity<\/span> in <\/span>Denver<\/span>: the <\/span>Blossoms of Light at Denver Botanic Gardens<\/span>. This <\/span>immersive light display<\/span><\/a> is consistently rated as one of the top holiday light shows in the country, presenting wonderful photo opportunities. But, with so many photo-worthy moments, how do you stay cute without freezing your you-know-what off?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need cute <\/span>cold-weather outfit ideas<\/span>, you\u2019ve come to the right place! There are plenty of ways to put together <\/span>cute but warm outfits<\/span> for all your <\/span>Denver winter events<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Layering: The Key to Cute but Warm Outfits<\/h2>\n

For those wondering <\/span>how to dress cute in the winter<\/span>, there\u2019s one tip that trumps them all: layering. Unless you want to wear a coat thick enough to scale the Rockies, layering is your best way to stay warm, stylish and Instagram-worthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By wearing a thermal base layer, such as thermal underwear or cold-weather, compression athletic wear, you can add insulation underneath your cute winter outfit. That\u2019s pure style on the outside and pure coziness on the inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Footwear: Keeping It Functional and Stylish<\/h2>\n

When thinking of <\/span>cute winter outfits<\/span> for <\/span>Instagram<\/span>, footwear may not be your first consideration. But, whether or not your feet make it into the photo, it\u2019s absolutely critical to choose appropriate shoes \u2014 or, more likely, boots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever had freezing toes? It\u2019s no fun and it\u2019s sure to ruin your night \u2014 regardless of how much Christmas magic is in the air. So, look for some well-insulated boots that offer both warmth and traction. That way, your feet can stay warm and you can stay upright should you encourage some slick snow or ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good insulation may include wool, fleece, thermal reflective linings, or even fur. Try some boots on in the store \u2014 if your feet start to get warm right away, you\u2019ve found a winner. As far as traction, take a look at the bottom of the sole. If it has deep and aggressive-looking treads, it\u2019ll probably be able to handle snow, ice, slush and whatever Old Man Winter can throw at you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outerwear That Shines: Jackets and Coats for Winter Events<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, when it comes to sub-zero outfits, it\u2019s all about the outerwear. Thick, padded and available in all different styles and colors, coats and jackets set the tone for your whole look. They can say a lot about you, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peacoats are timeless and elegant, puffers are casual, sporty and functional, bombers are cool and stylish and parkas are just highly functional \u2014 like a cozy little cocoon. Shop around and find the style that resonates with you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip: It\u2019s best to own many different types of coats and jackets, so you have something appropriate for any occasion. That way, you can match your friends’ agreed-upon dress code for the festival \u2014 or any other winter activities, like date nights, ice skating, winter walks or hikes, hitting the slopes, or just traveling around town in style.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accessorizing for the Ultimate Winter Wonderland Look<\/h2>\n

The next most noticeable part of your cute winter outfit: your accessories!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter accessories are truly form meets function. First (and most importantly), these items are warm and highly practical. Hats and earmuffs keep your head and ears from getting cold, scarves keep your neck insulated from winter air and gloves and mittens keep your fingers from freezing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond all that function, hats, earmuffs, scarves, gloves and mittens can be completely adorable \u2014 especially when thoughtfully paired with your coat! Knitted accessories often have fun patterns, which can add a little pizzazz to your look. Other materials like fleece commonly come in fun colors, introducing that perfect little \u2018pop\u2019 to your outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to winter accessories, the options are nearly limitless, so get out there and start looking!<\/span><\/p>\n
