How to Stay Stylish this Winter
tales from the pit: j.crew's tom mora's style tips canada
(Nov.21.11)
Running errands the other day in the wind, hands buried deep in my pockets, I found myself wondering if the time has come to dig out my gloves. The thing is, I have a hard time feeling my best when I'm all bundled up.
So on a recent trip to J.Crew at Yorkdale, I sat down with the new VP of Women’s Design, Tom Mora, and asked him to spill his hottest tricks and must-have picks to face the chilly season ahead in style.

The best way to get rid of any cold-weather blahs? Add a pop of colour to your outfit. One of Tom's favourite pieces is this bright red coat, full of all the right elements in a showstopping shade.

Despite the desire to warm up your look with accessories, avoid showing off statement earrings, a necklace and a bracelet at the same time. Follow Tom's rule of thumb: always take one thing off before you head out the door.

Don't shy away from pants for a holiday soirée. Tom pointed out these bold bottoms as a fun new way to put together a party look. Top with a statement necklace and you'll be mingling the night away in no time.

Instead of letting scarves, hats, earmuffs or gloves bog you down, find a way to wear a sophisticated scarf or a knit hat that makes you feel sexy.

Just because a new season is on its way in, that doesn't mean your closet needs a complete overhaul. Tom suggests holding onto your go-to blazer, a key piece that can take you from fall to winter.
