Maybe it's because I'm a California girl through and through, but I find winter dressing to be slightly overwhelming. I get claustrophobic in too many layers and the chunkiest of sweaters, and don't even get me started on the endless process of peeling on and off of clothes when leaving and entering buildings. To keep the winter blues at bay, I like to keep a capsule wardrobe filled with warm basics I'll welcome wearing over and over again. This year, that looks like comfortable and stylish bottoms, classic sweaters, and trendy knit sets. My favorite options are waiting for you below.

Urchin Sweater

All the cuteness of layering without the bunching.

The deep zip and oversize collar make this pullover stand out from the rest.

Yovela

High Waisted Baggy Sweatpants

All the blazers, puffers, and half-zip sweaters in your closet will be fighting to be worn with these joggers.

You can wear this cardigan with the matching knit pants below, your favorite jeans, and wide-leg trousers.

Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
