Lift your hand if the meteorological conditions in your location seem unusual
In the heart of winter, many of us have our go-to pieces that keep us toasty and stylish in the cold. Whether it's a cosy sweater, a warm pair of jeans, or a snug beanie, these items are essential in our winter wardrobes.
Recently, I found myself in Austin, Texas, enjoying a swim in a non-heated pool - a stark contrast to the current chill in the air. But as a winter front moved in, causing temperatures to drop below freezing, I found myself yearning for the comfort of my winter essentials.
My current layering formula for cold weather includes a soft fitted base layer, a thick sweater, and a down vest. I've been eyeing workout wear to blend with my "cute" outfits this winter, but I find myself in a rut, wanting to wear only workout clothes when it's cold.
One of my readers shares a similar sentiment when it comes to jeans. Their black jeans for cold weather are similar to these responsibly made jeans, providing both comfort and style. Another reader swears by Sperry boots for cold weather, and they're currently on sale!
For those seeking warmth in a vest, a Marmot vest might be just the ticket. One reader has been loving their Marmot vest this winter. And let's not forget about socks - a crucial element in staying warm. One reader's favourite socks for cold weather are by J.Crew.
As for headwear, a 100% cashmere beanie is a must-have. I've been wearing mine, a toasty number that keeps my ears and head warm, during my cold-weather outings. And for waterproof boots, I've been relying on a pair lined with fleece. Though not true winter boots, they're warmer than most other shoes I have.
If you're in the market for a warm winter coat, I recommend checking out the comments from a previous post for advice. I'm currently narrowing down my search, but I don't yet own a winter coat.
As for celebrities in Austin during the past 36 hours, there's no publicly available information about their cold weather headwear. But one reader's favourite cold weather outfit includes a beanie by Madewell, on sale now.
In conclusion, embracing cold weather fashion is all about finding the right balance between comfort and style. Whether it's a responsibly made pair of jeans, a cosy sweater, or a warm beanie, these items can make all the difference when the temperatures drop. So, wrap up warm and stay stylish this winter!
