I feel like a lot of this is common knowledge, but I thought I would reiterate how to stay warm + stylish in the winter since it’s so easy to stop caring and start going outside in sweatpants and a massive coat (guilty 🙂 ). Here’s what I do for a warm and stylish outfit:

1. WEAR A TOQUE OR BEANIE

It’s science – your scalp has no muscles so it can’t shiver (weird, I know… I asked Dr. A), so keep it warm! I also love that wearing a toque means you can look stylish + purposeful without doing your hair (always a plus for me).

2. LAYER UP

Again, very obvious, but layering up with a long sleeve tee, a sweater and then a jacket/coat (you can even add an undershirt under that) will keep you warm and stylish.

3. DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR LEGS

I’ve made this mistake before. Just throwing on jeans on a cold day is not enough. I recently got a pair of silk underwear pants and can layer them under my jeans for a warm and comfy (but not sweatpant-ed) look.

As a cold weather transplant from the West Coast, do you guys have any tips for staying warm? Would love to hear them!

    A good pair of merino or cashmere socks. Thin enough to wear with most boots and really warm. ☃️

      Thank you! I’m so glad to have you as a reader 🙂 The coat is from H&M from last winter.

    I have been totally at a loss trying to find a pair of winter boots that will keep my toes warm and stop me from sliding around on the Toronto ice, as well as prevent me from becoming soaking wet on the occasional snow laden trudge. All the popular brands (Sorel, UGG, Timberland) are either out of my price range or resemble too accurately the snow boot of my recess days. I want something that can transition from outside heavy duty protector, to inside cute and stylish.

    Is my dream a foolish fantasy or does something like this really exist???

    Thank you!!

      Hmm this is like the holy grail! Let me do some research and get back to you. Is it for everyday city use?
