Winter clothing doesn’t always have to be cold and drab like the weather. I personally love to wear black all year round but for many of you, wearing the season’s dreary uniform (i.e. all black) can certainly get depressing. Reitmans and Canadian fashion guru, Erica Wark have teamed up to offer consumers style tips to get us all through the cold snap. Easily warm up your Winter clothes by adding lighter and brighter pieces to your snowy season wardrobe. Here are some style tips:

Erica’s Guide to Breaking the Rules: Winter Edition

1. Double Down: Try layering a cape over leather or wool for extra warmth

2. Party Your Parka: Don’t be scared to dress down your dressed up looks

3. Shine Bright: Forego black for Winter hues

4. Nix the Necklace: Built in bling is the new thing!

5. Dress Up Your Denim: Studded jeans go from AM to PM – just add heels!

6. Bye Bye LBD: Ditch the cocktail dress for a one-piece with pockets

Reitmans and Erica are bringing these style tips to life in a series of Instagram videos available during the months of November and December. Also, Erica will be making style stops at Toronto, Mississauga, and Markham area Reitman locations across the GTA. Local readers are welcome to attend her upcoming Shop ’n Style Parties where they will receive exclusive style advice, one-on-one style sessions as well as special in-store promotions and prizes!
