As the weather turns colder, I find it harder and harder to get out of bed in the mornings. I am someone who enjoys dressing up and looking nice, and the cold is my greatest battle. Every morning, I am faced with whether or not I want to look fashionable or wear my comforter out of the dorm. The following are a few pieces that I think make it easier to get dressed in the morning.

1. The blanket scarf

All the comfort in these oversized beauties is in the name. They are literally just small blankets that are perfect to wrap, fold, and twist around yourself when all you need is a security blanket on the streets. And in my personal opinion, they can look pretty fabulous.

2. Joggers

The sweat pant is taking the fashion world by storm with the sleek and easy shape of the jogger. Brands have made joggers in everything from classic sport materials to silks. The slim leg of these pants give a shockingly flattering shape, but maintain the cozy aspects of wearing sweats. Toss them on with a pair of sneakers and a T if you don’t have anywhere special to go, or throw on some pumps and a blazer to look a little more polished.

3. Fleece lined leggings

Leggings are a controversial topic in the clothing world, but lets just skip out on that argument and not call them “real” pants. Whatever they qualify as, leggings are unbelievably comfortable. Add some soft material to the inside and they are basically heaven for your legs. They can also be easily paired with tunics or long sweaters to make their tight fit more comfortable on those who don’t love letting it all show in skintight stretch fabrics.

4. A Cape Coat

A cape coat is basically a fashionable cocoon. Don’t want to put your arms through the holes? Don’t! Just stay inside and keep all the warmth to yourself. They are a pretty chic frock, and can be worn with any form of attire. But lets face it: it’s just a blanket with armholes.

5. Knit headbands

My mother has never hesitated to remind me that tons of body heat can escape through your ears. Beanies are a well-loved item, but certain outfits just don’t work with them. Or you could be like me, and just not be able to pull them off. The trend of knit headbands has been my saving grace, and it might just be your savior too.
