Not sure about you, but our weekend bar-hopping is typically preceded by a pretty involved journey. Schlep four blocks to the bus stop. Ride said bus to Metro. Get off Metro and walk five more blocks—all for the “reward” of standing in line outside some nightspot that’s already packed. Argh.

All that outside time means that when the temperatures drop, so do our wardrobe choices. Option one: rely on a beer blanket and wear that mini anyway. Option two: sacrifice fashion for warmth and wind up like Ralphie’s little brother. There has to be a better way!

Lucky for us, these nine fashion bloggers have it down to a science. Click through our slideshow for their tips on how to look hot when it’s cold out.
