Winter in Poland is beautiful, but also very cold outdoors. For this reason, it is necessary to plan cozy and warm outfits, which are practical but also stylish. Polish women dress in classic style, but they also like to be updated with current trends. For example, Polish woman love turtleneck sweaters, which can work well for many outfits. You can wear them with pants in more casual way, or with a pencil skirt if you want to create a more elegant look. Wearing a longer cardigan is also a great idea during the winter.
