HOW TO WINTERIZE YOUR JAYLI CLOSET

How to Winterize Your Jayli Closet: Styling Your Hippie, Bohemian, and Grateful Dead-Inspired Pieces for the Cold Season

As the leaves fall and temperatures drop, the bright and breezy vibes of summer clothing might feel like a distant memory. But just because the season is changing doesn’t mean your favorite boho pieces, like those from Jayli's hippie bohemian line or Grateful Dead-inspired apparel, need to be packed away. With a little creativity and layering magic, you can transform your sunny, free-spirited wardrobe into a cozy, winter-ready collection. Here’s how to winterize your Jayli closet and keep that laid-back bohemian spirit alive all season long.

1. Layer Up with Cozy Essentials

The key to making your warm-weather pieces wearable in winter is layering. Think of layering as an art, especially when incorporating hippie-inspired, Grateful Dead, or bohemian clothing. Here are some ideas:

• Long Sleeve Tops and Turtlenecks: Pair your lighter weight skirts, pants or overalls with a fitted long sleeve or turtleneck underneath. A soft cotton or merino wool base layer will keep you warm while still allowing your signature vibrant patterns to shine through. You can wear a bright tie-dye Grateful Dead shirt under a neutral-colored, chunky-knit turtleneck sweater.
• Boho Cardigans and Sweaters: Long, flowing cardigans and oversized sweaters are staples in the bohemian wardrobe, and they are perfect for winter! Opt for a thick, knitted cardigan or a shawl sweater to pair with your flowy dresses, tank tops, and tunics. Look for styles with fringe, crochet details, or ethnic prints to maintain that boho flair.

2. Pair Your Dresses with Warm Layers

You don’t have to say goodbye to your favorite boho dresses when the temperature dips. Here’s how to wear them in winter:

• Layer with Tights or Leggings: Add a pair of tights or leggings under your flowy dresses. Opt for fleece-lined tights for extra warmth, or go for patterned leggings with fun motifs that complement the boho style.
• Add a Denim or Faux Fur Jacket: A denim jacket with shearling lining or a faux fur coat is the perfect addition to any bohemian outfit. Layer your favorite flowy dress with one of these pieces to stay cozy while still embracing your free-spirited vibe. Try layering a floral dress with a suede or faux-leather jacket for a more eclectic feel.
• Boots Are a Must: When it comes to footwear, it’s all about keeping your feet warm and stylish. Chunky boots, knee-high boots, or ankle boots with thick soles will help you stay grounded (pun intended) and keep your feet cozy. Look for suede or leather options with a little fringe or beading for that extra bohemian touch.

3. Keep the Grateful Dead Spirit Alive with Outerwear

If you’re a Grateful Dead fan, you don’t need to hide your love for the band just because of the chillier weather. Here’s how to incorporate Dead-inspired pieces into your winter wardrobe:

• Vintage Grateful Dead Hoodies: A classic Grateful Dead hoodie is a perfect layering piece for winter. These sweatshirts can be worn under jackets or paired with a cozy beanie. Look for one with a fun print or logo to make it stand out as the focal point of your outfit.
• Tie-Dye Sweatshirts and Long-Sleeve Tees: Tie-dye and vibrant colors are staples in the Grateful Dead aesthetic, so don’t be afraid to bring those into winter. Layer a tie-dye long-sleeve shirt or oversized sweatshirt under your jackets or cardigans, or wear them with a cozy scarf for extra warmth.

4. Play with Colors and Textures

The beauty of boho and Grateful Dead-inspired fashion is its eclectic and free-spirited nature. Winter styling doesn’t mean you have to stick to drab colors or basic neutrals. Embrace rich textures, vibrant colors, and funky prints to keep your look alive and dynamic throughout the colder months.

• Textures: Mix different textures to add interest to your outfit. Combine knit sweaters with suede skirts, or layer crochet or macramé pieces over chunky wool sweaters. This adds dimension to your winter outfit while still embracing the artistic bohemian aesthetic.
• Bold Colors: Don’t be afraid of bright, bold hues in the winter months. Colors like deep oranges, vibrant reds, and electric blues can be paired with neutral layers to keep your wardrobe colorful and full of life. A bright Grateful Dead patchwork hoodie paired with a neutral-colored coat can create a dynamic, cozy winter look.

5. Accessorize with Warmth and Style

Boho style is all about the details. Accessorizing is the easiest way to elevate your winter outfits while still maintaining that carefree, bohemian spirit.

• Chunky Scarves and Shawls: A thick, knit scarf is both practical and stylish. Wrap a soft, oversized scarf around your neck to stay warm, or layer it over your shoulders like a shawl. Go for natural fibers like wool or alpaca to ensure warmth and comfort.
• Beanies and Headbands: A cozy beanie with a fun pom-pom or a knitted headband can keep you warm while adding a touch of personality to your outfit. Look for ones with fringe or crochet detailing to keep the boho vibe strong.
• Layered Jewelry: Don’t shy away from your jewelry collection just because it’s winter. Layer necklaces, bangles, and rings over your sweaters or under your coats for a personal touch. Think stacked rings, chunky bracelets, and layered necklaces in materials like turquoise, leather, or silver for that boho-chic look.

• 6. Don’t Forget About Your Bottoms

Your warm-weather bohemian skirts and shorts can still be part of your winter look, but you may need to make a few adjustments for warmth.

• Trousers and Wide-Leg Pants: Put a pair of warm leggings or stockings underneath your lightweight skirt or pants. These can be paired with your favorite boho tunics, oversized sweaters, or layered jackets.
• Winter Skirts: If you love skirts, go for longer, midi-length or maxi skirts. Pair them with thick tights or leggings underneath to keep your legs warm.

Winterizing your Jayli closet doesn’t mean sacrificing your personal style or the carefree, bohemian spirit that defines your wardrobe. With thoughtful layering, creative accessorizing, and the right winter pieces, you can keep rocking those Grateful Dead-inspired graphics, flowy boho dresses, and hippie-chic patterns all winter long. So, embrace the chill—because you’re about to make winter boho style your own!

Stay warm, stay wild, and keep those good vibes flowing!
