While fun coats and badass boots might get all the attention this time of year, you can't forget the unsung heroes of your cold-weather closet: basics for layering. They're the fundamental building blocks of your winter wardrobe and it would be pretty darn hard to face 20-degree weather without pieces like turtlenecks, thermal leggings, cozy socks, and more. 

I will be the first to admit that I sometimes begrudgingly take off my coat inside because it's way cuter than what I'm wearing underneath, but that doesn't mean I don't see the value in simple, functional, and well-priced pieces for layering. Scroll down to shop the 4 wardrobe basics I wear under winter outfits—all from wallet-friendly Amazon. 

1. Thin Turtlenecks

2. Thermal Leggings

3. Cozy Socks

4. Crewneck T-Shirt

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
