Figuring out what to wear on a date can be tricky at any time of year, but in winter it’s especially challenging. After all, it’s hard to feel flirty when the weather calls for covering up. But shivering in an unseasonable ensemble isn’t exactly cute, either, so incorporating cold-weather staples into your winter date outfits is a must.

So how do you work sweaters, boots, puffer jackets, and the like into your date looks without sacrificing your style? Just ask Insta-babe Kemper Baugh of @joandkemp. Ahead, the longtime Lulus babe–and partner on our first-ever influencer edit–is sharing her tips and outfit ideas for winter date dressing, and well, the chilly season never looked so hot.

“For a date night, I love to layer. That way, you can shed pieces according to the weather,” says Kemper. A shacket is a wardrobe must-have when it comes to layering, and this plaid style lends a laid-back vibe to an otherwise vampy look. You can wear it over your ribbed knit dress, tie it around the waist, or drape it over your shoulders–who doesn’t love outfit options? Tall boots mean you’re only showing a little bit of leg–and they leave room for a stylish pair of tights to peek out if you choose.

“Cold weather outfits are some of my favorites because you can style them so many different ways,” Kemper notes. Case in point: A boxy cropped sweater looks great tucked into a vegan leather skirt, untucked, or even layered over a bodycon dress. Sock-style mid-calf boots only add to the cozy-sexy vibe.

Velvet Bodycon Dress + High Heel Sandals + Hoop Earrings

For party season, a velvet bodycon dress is both sexy and seasonal. This festive pick is perfect for a holiday fete, a winter wedding, or another special occasion that calls for cocktail dressing. Strappy high heel sandals keep the look semi-formal, but feel free to try it with high boots and a cropped jacket!

Cropped Puffer Jacket + Crop Top + High-Waisted Jeans + Mid-Calf Boots

Crop tops in winter? Hell yes. “A cropped sweater or top with jeans or trousers, boots, and a coat is an ideal look I would typically go for,” says Kemper. A teeny top and cropped puffer balance out high-waisted jeans–and make a perfect combo for moving seamlessly between the cold outdoors and heated indoor spaces.

Knit Bodycon Dress + Knee-High Boots

According to Kemper, “A dress or skirt with knee-high boots is a fun, spunky option for winter.” Wearing a long-sleeve knit dress with tall boots will keep you both comfy and cute, which is always the goal, right? For extra chilly days, a statement coat or jacket adds another layer of style.
