Lean Looking Winter Wardrobe for pear shaped women

[elegantlion]

I'm trying to update my look for winter. I'm very casual and like comfy cotton. I like this look for winter, but the shapes and colors aren't the best for me. I like the idea of leggings at home or thicker ones, maybe yoga pants type for out and about. I'm thinking a longer sweater that covers that is somewhat fitted but hits about mid-thigh. Or an open looser cardigan with a longer fitted shirt.

 

I don't generally do shoes at home, but maybe boots that match the pants? I have short legs, so I'm thinking keep the color tones the same on the bottom. I generally do darker bottoms.

 

I'm trying to create something I can throw on quickly and still look put together, but not like I'm trying too hard, if that makes sense.

 

What colors are supposed to be in for fall?

My mother really likes these from Lands End:

They are a very nice weight material

I am the pear shape and completely unfashionable, so these were eye-opening. (however, I do realize that a 1960's A-line looks great on me. But casual looks are beyond me)

 

I'm traveling with dh this fall and maybe I need new clothes for that? :)

Cool!

 

I love yoga pants and I have some that are looser, but I'm trying to find a less frumpy go-to look for fall. I think longer tops and some more fitted leggings or pants would be a comfortable start.

 

Thanks for the links. I have a lot of colors in my wardrobe and I try to hilight whatever is in fashion at least a little bit. I bought some sweaters on clearance this spring that will hopefully get me out of the grey sweater mode I've been in for a while.
