Winter dressing doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort for style, or vice versa. Honestly, my cold-weather style philosophy is simple: if I could nap in it and still look cute on a coffee run, it’s a yes.
Here’s what I’m wearing on repeat this winter. Call it a uniform, call it a vibe… either way, it’s comfy, cool, and makes getting dressed feel effortless.
1. Oversized hoodie energy
I love an oversized hoodie more than some people. There’s just something about being swallowed up by soft fabric on a cold day, it’s a hug in clothing form. Bonus points if it’s neutral, slightly structured, or vintage-inspired. Ideal for layering under coats or pairing with denim for a “yes I tried but also no I didn’t” aesthetic.
2. The boots that go with everything
Black, chunky, and walkable. That’s my boot criteria this winter. I want something I can stomp through my to-do list in, something that looks as good with a wide-leg pair of denims as it does with yoga pants. Versatile. Reliable. Down for anything, like me.
3. Dad cap = mood stabilizer
There’s just something about a great dad cap that makes me feel like I have my life together. Messy hair? Covered. Bad mood? Hidden. It adds the I’m not trying too hard touch to any outfit and pulls everything together when you’re just not in the mood to “fashion.”
4. The comfy denim you’ll actually reach for
Skinny jeans? Couldn’t be me. I’m currently living in straight-leg or baggy denim that feels lived in and easy. A little slouch, a high waist, a good wash, chef’s kiss. These are the jeans I’ll wear all season and never get tired of. They play well with hoodies, knits, and everything in between.
5. The oversized long sleeve golf-style sweater
A little grandpa, a little cool girl. This piece is the underdog hero of my wardrobe. Think preppy meets cozy. I throw it over a turtleneck or under a coat, and suddenly I’m in my “I read The Financial Times for fun” era, even if I’m just heading to the grocery store.
Mix, match, repeat.
That’s the best part. All of these pieces work together. Hoodie under the golf sweater? Cute. Boots with denim and the cap? Effortless. Throw in a coffee, a puffer jacket, and some good music and I’m ready to take on winter, without freezing or losing my personality to the cold.
So if you see me in some version of this outfit three days in a row… no, you didn’t.
