Bears eat to prepare for hibernation, birds fly south when the temperature starts to drop and humans stock up on warm clothing to get ready for winter. With holiday sales coming up including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, here are winter wardrobe essentials to keep in mind while shopping around.

Blanket Scarf

Infinity scarves are always the go-to scarf for this season. Switch your infinity scarf for a blanket scarf instead! There are so many different ways to wear a blanket scarf to make each outfit you wear it with different.

Winter Coat

This is probably the winter essential that you will use the most. Make sure it is a stylish one!

Snow Boots

Invest in a good pair of snow boots to make your trek through the winter snow as easy as possible.

Fleece-Lined Leggings

I used to always wear jeans over leggings in the winter when I wanted to be warm and comfortable. Now I just wear fleece-lined leggings. Sorry, jeans!

Sweaters

My go-to outfits for the winter usually include a sweater. A sweater is an essential outfit to have in your winter wardrobe because it is an easy way to look put together even if you aren't.

Leather Jacket

Bring edginess to any winter outfit by wearing a leather jacket over it! Sweaters underneath leather jackets make an amazing layering technique for this season.

Beanie

To keep warm during the winter time, it is good to keep your head covered! Luckily, you can find warm and cozy beanies that will be a chic accessory to your outfit.

Vest

You don't realize how warm vests keep you until you wear one and are suddenly sweating in your class lecture. A vest is your go-to layer if you need that extra warmth.

Fuzzy Socks

Warm feet are happy feet in the winter season.

Sweater Dress

A sweater dress is a key piece in your winter wardrobe that would be perfect to wear to holiday parties and family gatherings.

You can create any cute, comfortable and warm winter outfit with these essentials in your closet!
