1. Layer With A Sweater
You may have white Christmas fantasies, but let’s face it, a Florida wonderland is never going to be that wintery. While the rest of the country is bundling up with multiple inner layers to weather the cold and the ferocious walks to work, Floridians will be doing it a bit differently.
We recommend wearing a tank top and layering it. Think cropped sweater or one with trendy details like ruffles, puff sleeves, ribbing or eyelet detail. This is definitely the time to bring out your winter whites too! Checkout some our favorite sweaters this season below.

3. Don’t Go Anywhere without a Lightweight Scarf
A big, luscious scarf is always a good idea during the Florida winter. If you’re wondering what to wear in Florida with a scarf, we recommend a scarf that’s big enough that it can be wrapped around your shoulders. Don’t be afraid of a pop of color, tassels, prints, and fabric. A quality scarf can be thrown over a tank tank top or worn with a leather Moto jacket.
And if it gets warm, you can always just bundle it up and throw it in your bag. So versatile. It’s a must. Shop our favorites for the season below.
