HOT LAYERS

The classic combo of a brown jacket, white top, blue jeans and a thick leather belt will never go out of style. Within that theme, there's room for numerous variations. The woman above chose layers to be cozy, including a long scarf, but did not shy away from a little sexy appeal by picking a low-cut tee with a flash of midriff. She added a fitted thin cardigan, with blue and white stripes, to remain cute upon removal of the jacket, which, by the way, had some nice sweater touches around the sleeves and collar.

URBAN EXPLORER

There was a time when cargo pants could be seen on every woman, except those actually working at loading docks. Like many trends, this one came and went, but not without leaving a trace. I was happy to see this outfit go by. It really evoked that whole urban explorer spirit. The pants had a rough attitude, while fitting in a most complimentary way. The jacket had that vintage retro matinee serial vibe and the studded leather belt was exactly what was needed to accentuate the waist. Note that without that accent the outfit would've lost some of its fun curviness.

CASUAL SPORTY MINI

Mini-skirts can be the ultimate seduction weapon, but sometimes fashionable women chose to casual them down in various ways. One of my favorites is the sporty twist, wherein a short mini is combined with an athletic jacket. The effect is sexy, yet understated. You can go all black or try color variations, particularly with oranges, yellows or blues.

WHITE DRESS IN DARK WEATHER

It may be chilly outside, but, in case you didn't know, Canadian women are taught from an early age to swim between icebergs to avoid collisions. Hence, the ability of the woman above to pull off this dress in sub-zero temperature. If you got curves and are proudly fit (and single), try on a micro white dress. Surprisingly, few women go for white and the effect is astonishing. I've never seen so many men hitting on a girl outside a club. There was a line up. She rejected one suitor with a smile and another one immediately took the spot of his fallen comrade. I credit the dress.

SHINY BLACK RAIN COAT

If The Matrix taught us one thing is that shiny leather coats are cool, even in world's that don't really exist. For women, a three-quarter rain coat is recommended. Sleek and stylish. Anything longer and you might get cast in the next Rob Zombie flick, which, depending on your taste, might not be such a bad idea.
