We hate to be the bearer of bad news but...winter is in full swing. Which means it’s the perfect time to get your closet prepped before that deep-in-your-bones chill hits. That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite cold-weather finds that’ll help you stay warm and cozy these next few months. We searched high and low for items that’ll last season after season, that’ll keep the frigid temps at bay, and won’t break the bank in the process.
Gloves
High-quality tech gloves for all your winter texting needs…
These ones have touch sensors on the index finger and thumb fingertips — and come with an anti-slip palm grip so your device won’t fall into a pile of slush. Whether you need to control your playlist for your winter run, or just need to update the group chat, this is the perfect, reliable pair to have in your pocket. Plus, they’re lined so your fingers will be warm while on the go. ($6.98, Amazon)
Insulated, waterproof gloves for those heavy-duty snow days…
Drastic winter times call for drastic winter measures. These breathable, quilted Carhartt gloves have a microfiber lining, a stretchy fleece cuff that makes getting them on and off a breeze, and fast-dry technology that’ll keep you dry. They’ve also got a contoured rubber palm that makes gripping things (like your dog leash or shovel) easy, come the frigid temps. Yes, please. ($30.99, Amazon)
Transitional knit mittens that fit all your needs…
You can rock them as full-on mittens, or pull down the wool flap-cover for when you need your fingertips exposed. They’ll make ruffling through your tote bag, using your keys, and running all of your errands so much easier. Psst: They come in five neutral colors so they’re bound to match any winter outfit you plan on rocking. 10/10 recommend. ($7.99, Amazon)
Genuine leather gloves for when you want a more refined look…
Because no one wants to wear their heavy-duty snow gloves to the fancy office holiday party. These come in a number of chic colors and will add an elegant touch to any winter outfit. The leather keeps things feeling toasty on the outside, and the cashmere-wool blend keeps the insulation party going on the inside. Plus, these have touch-screen functionality too. Win-win-win. ($23.99, Amazon)
Winter hats and scarves
Sporty ear-warmer headbands for those chilly park jogs…
No more ‘I can’t feel my ears’ moments after coming home from a workout. These premium, fleece headbands get bigger around the ear area so they’ll actually cover them and won’t accidentally slide around while you’re moving. They have high elasticity too so it’ll stretch to fit your head comfortably and sit perfectly around your ponytail. No head or earaches here, thank you very much. ($17.99, Amazon)
A Carhartt beanie for the guy in your life…
Or yourself. This cult-fave, IG-friendly hat comes in every color imaginable (over 40 of them to be exact). It’s made of acrylic rib-knit material and is super stretchy. Did we mention it has more than 31k reviews on Amazon? Because it does. ($24.99, Amazon)
A neck gaiter that’ll add breathable warmth…
If a balaclava feels too bulky for you but you still want an extra layer, look to the gaiter. It’s a cozy tube of fabric that covers your neck up to your ears. This one from Smartwool is made of 100% merino wool and has an extended length to ensure that it truly covers your face and neck. It’s perfect for those extra-cold days and is so compact that it’ll fit easily in your bag. ($30, Smartwool)
A knit beanie that marries fashion with function…
So you’ve got a night out with your besties and wanna look cute? Enter: this super-soft beanie that looks good and packs the heat. It has merino wool, alpaca, and polyester in it too so it also packs the comfort. ($20.99+, Madewell)
An oversized blanket scarf that’ll elevate your outfit…
Tired of wearing a sweater and jeans? Add this soft, chunky scarf to change it up. Winter is all about layering not just for staying warm but for adding some extra interest to your outfit. We love the fringe detailing on this one and the countless colors will have you feeling put together with minimal effort. ($19.90, Uniqlo)
A fleece set for your baby…
This adorable option from L.L. Bean is ideal for chilly walks outside thanks to its polyester fleece material. It comes with an adorable beanie and soft mittens in the same fabric. The ear embellishments are simply too cute not to take a photo of your babe in. Grab one as a gift for your best friends’ little one too. ($34.95, L.L. Bean)
A way to cover your entire face when it’s absolutely frigid outside…
Sometimes you just need all the heat you can get. With this vibrant balaclava you can keep your neck, head, ears, and part of your nose covered. It’s made of a soft hypoallergenic yarn and is great for anyone who has to run some errands during the coldest of days (dog walkers, we’re looking at you too). It has a relaxed fit that you can easily slide right over your head. Go for it. ($75, Verloop)
Socks
Super-thick, cozy socks for lounging…
Because there’s nothing worse than getting out of a warm bed and stepping onto a freezing floor. These heavyweight wool socks come in a variety of colors and will keep your toes toasty. Do it. ($9.99, Amazon)
Dependable socks for everyday wear…
Whether you’re spending a day in the snow, running errands, working out, or commuting, our editors love these crew socks from Smartwool. They keep your feet warm and dry, won’t bunch when you put them on, and have a cushioned sole. We love that they hit at the mid-calf — perfect for layering over leggings. ($27, Smartwool)
An option that’ll take you from a hike out to dinner…
These chunky socks will keep you warm, but are still elevated enough to wear to dinner, drinks, or the office. We’d pair them with our favorite boots or a pair of loafers. They’re ribbed for extra softness and because they’re made of wool, they’re anti-bacterial and breathable. ($27, Finisterre)
Accessories
Machine-washable turtleneck dickies to throw on under your favorite blazer…
Or cardigan. You get the warmth and look of a full turtleneck sans all the bulkiness. Plus, it’s a great way to transition some of your summer clothing. Just slide it on under a tank top, or a blouse that’s low-cut for a covered up winter look. It’s perfect for office days, outdoor winter adventures, or even lounging at home. ($24.99/pack of four, Amazon)
Odorless, natural hand warmers for those for tailgates and dog walks…
These disposable, TSA-approved little guys will warm up 5-30 minutes after you activate it. This pack comes with a variety of warmers you can use on your hands, feet, and toes. Just throw them in your bag or keep them in the car for emergency use. No frostbite here, thank you very much. ($14.29, Amazon)
Over-the-knee leg warmers to rock to-and-fro your workout class...
Because what’s old is cool again. And making sure your muscles are warm before a workout is important. These Alo ones have four-way stretch — so you’ll never be constricted. They’re made of performance fabric so you can sweat in them without breaking a sweat about ruining them. Plus, the bottoms are stirrups, so they’ll sit comfortably on your legs and provide all that warmth. ($48, Alo)
Insoles you can add to any shoe for extra warmth…
Just throw these furry ones inside your shoes and enjoy all that toasty goodness. You can trim them down to the right fit too. ($25.99, Amazon)
A fabric shaver to revive your knit scarves, hats, and sweaters...
Goodbye, little pill balls. Hello, closet staples that last. This tiny, USB-C powered device will eat up those annoying tiny fuzzies and loose threads. So you can freshen up your items and keep everything on this list in tip-top-shape for years to come. Psst…check out our full review. ($59, Nori)
A cashmere and wool comb that’ll help keep your warmest items looking good…
The comb shaver breathes new life into old items and can help make your favorite sweaters, hats, and scarves look and feel better. The cedar-wood comb is easy to grip and is great for those who are a little too scared to use an automatic version (see above). ($9.99, Amazon)
