In spite of what you may have heard or believed, fashion does not have to equate pain. Who says you can't be a creature of comfort and look hot? For 2014, we've resolved to prioritize comfort and happiness without compromising style. So, we rounded up a mix of essentials that address both, like leather joggers that don't feel as constricting as leggings, or a silk feel-good cami to wear under an itchy sweater. Here are 10 ways to beat the winter blues and ring in the new year with style—and smiles. Let's toast to that!

1. Embrace Laid-Back Leather

Buttery soft lambskin in a slouchy fit isn't as constricting as leggings. "Paired with high heels, these pants are dressy and feminine," says stylist Kate Young. Rag amp Bone, $660; saksfifthavenue.com

2. Super-Size Your Studs

Wow-worthy earrings elevate any look, but dangling ones can snag delicate knits. Choose rounded studs that won't catch on a scarf. Erickson Beamon Rocks, $28; bonton.com

3. Up Your Sexy-Shoe Game

Wearing stick-thin stilettos can be a balancing act. Try a chunkier heel; the extra support will keep you grounded. 3.1 Phillip Lim, $575; 31philliplim.com

4. Breathe Easy in a Blazer

A tailored jacket is a work-week staple, but opt for an unliked one, says stylist Cher Coulter. "You can layer it over a sweater and it won't look or feel bulky," she says. Brooks Brothers, $398; brooksbrothers.com

Your statement necklace just got lighter-and more comfortable to wear for hours. Go for ultra-smooth and featherweight beads that won't weigh you down. Rosena Sammi, $150; rosenasammi.com

Unlike its skintight counterpart, a voluminous silhouette flatters without clinging to every curve. Its ladylike aesthetic instantly elevates a simple tee. Tibi, $395; tibi.com

10. Find Solace in Flats

Stomping around in heels can take its toll. Give your feet a break with loafers reinterpreted with mesh detailing-for extra give and ventilation. Rebecca Minkoff, $250; neimanmarcus.com
