5 Must-Have Winter Wardrobe Essentials

Stepfanie McCaffrey

The winter weather is going no where fast so let the teddy coat and oversized sweater days continue! Winter typically isn’t a fan favorite but there is something I love about the coziness be it with sweaters and scarves or cuddled up on the couch in loungewear and blankets.

I’ve been spending a bit more time at my parents house in Upstate NY so having extra warm, cozy layers with me is key. I’ve put together 5 of my must-have winter wardrobe essentials that you should add to your closet! Who doesn’t love more cozy vibes?!

WHO WHAT WEAR TEDDY COAT - I shared this black teddy coat a few months back and it has been a staple since; it is so cozy and warm! I love that it is a bit more fitted than other teddy coats and that it zips instead of buttons…the little things, right?! It has elastic around the wrists and waists which is a plus and a collar to keep your neck extra warm. This teddy coat is also versatile and can be worn casually with jeans and mules, or a bit fancier with a cocktail dress and pumps. An extra bonus…it’s under $50! You’ll want to scoop this before it is gone!

LL BEAN BOOTS - if you live anywhere in cold weather or snow, you MUST get these boots…they are a game changer!! They are incredibly warm and comfortable - a win win! I’ve worn them nearly all day on multiple occasions and still find them comfortable and my feet never get that warm, swollen feeling at all. I know they are a bit pricey but I promise you they are 100000% worth it.

PROLOGUE DROP SHOULDER PULLOVER SWEATER - this sweater has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe! I love the oversized fit [I sized up to a small] which makes it extra cozy. I also love the drop shoulder detail - always something I like on a sweater. It comes in a few colors but I loved this neutral cream color so I can add accents with fun earrings or a scarf. You can’t beat the price either, coming in under $30!

WHO WHAT WEAR POPCORN STITCH CREW-NECK SWEATER - the “popcorn” detailing on this sweater is what sold me, it’s so cute! It reminds me of the pom pom sweaters you see a lot but not as aggressive I guess you could say. I sized up in this sweater as well to a small because I wanted it a bit looser and not as a fitted sweater. It’s so cozy and fun, such a fun addition to your winter wardrobe!

PROLOGUE EYELASH YARN PULLOVER SWEATER - I actually got this sweater last winter and was SO excited to see they brought it back again this year because it is a must-have! The eyelash yarn fabric is the coziest and so incredibly soft; it also adds a fun texture to the sweater, too. I’ve loved wearing this as a monochromatic look with dark denim, navy suede booties and a pair of light blue earrings for a slight contrast.
