Whether you like it or not, winter is here and that equates to: cold, cold, cold. And if you want to stay comfortable (and stylish) when you're outdoors, you have to be prepared. That means equipping yourself with the proper cold weather gear or accessories that will make you forget the temperature. So the best items to keep you warm when you're outside are heat insulating, moisture-wicking, or heat generating. If you're not sure where to start or what to look for, we've got you covered. From rechargeable hand warmers to sheepskin insoles, these are the items you'll want handy when you're in the cold outdoors.

What to Look for in Cold Weather Gear

When you're outside in the cold, it's essential to cover up your extremities – hats, gloves, boots. Keep an eye out for materials that insulate your heat (like polyester, sheepskin, or merino wool), while providing moisture-wicking capabilities. Try to avoid cotton, which absorbs sweat, takes a long time to dry, and can leave you feeling even colder.

How to Dress in the Cold

Layer, layer, layer! By layering your clothes, you can add more items or remove items based on your comfort level. And for the maximum amount of warmth, you'll need three layers: a base layer against your skin (preferably a synthetic fabric or merino wool), a fleece or puffy jacket to retain your body heat, and a waterproof (or water-resistant, if need be) outer layer that keeps out the wind and rain.

So if you find yourself outside this winter, don't stress. Just start scrolling down and pick up these items that will keep you warm and dry. The cold never felt so good.
