Red Hot

Kelly, UF english student

Kelly schools us on how to wear a bright, red trench for winter on the first week of the semester. Her bold, knee-length coat is complete with a flattering empire waist that shows off her curves instead of adding bulk like some heavy jackets can. With such a vivid piece on top, it’s smart to pick a more neutral color, like Kelly’s dark brown accessories, to complement the outfit. Leather gloves and lace-up motorcycle boots are functional and adorable and are well worth the investment as wardrobe staples.  Kelly suggests layering to prepare for Florida’s uncertain weather, and we think that’s the most important lesson we’ve learned all week!
