It seems that, after dodging the cold weather for most of the fall season, model Kelsey Merritt is finally embracing the winter season. Between her recent skiing trip to Japan—and all of the chic snow gear that came with it—and her latest Instagram post, we’re certain that she will be making the most of the coming months. 

Part of maximizing the winter season, of course, entails embracing the best fashion that colder weather has to offer. Merritt is certainly doing just that. Her recent Instagram post was a testament to her ever-fashionable style, which has adopted a seasonal twist. The model paired a halter style, backless black dress with a red lip for an outfit primed for the holiday season. She accented the look with a pair of diamond earrings and a beautiful series of glittery bangles.

“season’s greetings,” she aptly captioned the stunning pair of solo snapshots that she posted.

"OHH LALA,” fellow SI Swimsuit model Brooks Nader gushed in the comments.

“The most gorgeous fashion girl 🩵,” one fan complimented the incredible look.

“Stunning Beauty 🤗❤😘,” another added.

“so pretty!!!” a follower exclaimed.

While we’re sure that the model and influencer will be found back in a bikini on a beach somewhere soon (just as she spent much of the fall), we don’t mind the festive, high-fashion change of pace from her. If anything, until then we will be storing away her stunning content for outfit inspiration, as always.
