Shop Writer-Approved Winter Clothes From $12

It can be hard to look stylish in the winter when you’re bundled up against the cold—but it’s not impossible. I live in New York City, and not only is it cold in the winter, but I also have to be outside a decent amount because I walk everywhere. At this point, I’m basically a pro at finding cute winter outfits that look good and keep me warm at the same time. 

Below, I picked out some pieces that are stylish yet weather appropriate from brands like The North Face, J.Crew, and Ugg. Shop my choices, including cashmere-lined gloves, knee-high boots, fuzzy earmuffs, and more, starting at $12.

The North Face 2000 Retro Nuptse Jacket

For a sporty-cute outfit, grab this short puffer coat. The hood tucks into the standing collar, so you can wear the jacket with or without it for different looks. Not only will the high neck protect you from the wind, but the sleeves also have hook-and-loop tabs to close the cuffs, and there’s a drawcord to cinch the bottom, keeping the cold out. I have a similar short puffy coat, and I see a lot of younger teens wearing The North Face styles like this, so you know they’re cool.

Old Navy Faux-Fur Earmuffs

I love how fluffy these earmuffs are, and they’re ideal for keeping your ears warm when you don’t want to mess up your hair with a hat. The adorable faux-fur muffs come in taupe, white, black, and light pink. At just $12, they’d make a great affordable stocking stuffer, too. 

Bloomingdale’s Cashmere-Lined Leather Tech Gloves

Functional and stylish, these gloves are made of leather and have a cozy cashmere lining to keep your hands toasty. But the best part is that they have a touch-sensitive index finger, so you don’t have to remove them to use your phone. The gloves come in a variety of colors, including neutrals like black, gray, and brown, as well as festive red and green hues that will go perfectly with holiday party outfits.

Frye & Co. Miranda Western Boot

Banana boots have been everywhere this fall and winter, and I happen to have a pair from Frye myself. Aside from the golden shade being on trend, knee-high boots like these are a classic for cold weather. But if you’re not a fan of the brighter hue, you can also choose from dark brown, caramel, dark green, mulberry, and cognac. The boots have a sturdy 2-inch block heel and rubber sole to make them easy to walk in, too.
