@allypayer"I think these are the cutest boots Ugg has ever made, hands down. That probably explains why they're still constantly selling out."

@allypayer"This jacket is a splurge, but I wear it so much that I have zero regrets about ordering. It's so cozy and oversized and is super warm without being bulky."

@fashionwithjazz"While some may say they'd need an ice pick should they become stranded in the Antarctic, I'd need a turtleneck sweater. I cannot live without this basic wardrobe staple—it's basically the only thing I wear in the winter because it keeps me warm, and it gives off chic-chalet energy."

@fitzpatrickerin"I can't get enough of chunky cardigans. I keep collecting them because they're so cozy, functional, and stylish. I live in Southern California, so I luckily don't need to invest in much outerwear—all I need is a good chunky sweater to get me through winter. Jealous?"

@bobbyschuessler"I've shared my adoration for this delicious turtleneck by Alex Mill before. It's my number one wardrobe staple because it's cozy, soft, and always gets compliments."

@kristenmarienichols"I truly can't say enough great things about Zara's faux-leather blazers. I wear mine at least once a week, no matter what time of the year."

@kristenmarienichols"My true winter must-buy piece is a great tailored coat. Not only is it essential for staying warm, but it can really pull together just about any look. I picked up this double-breasted style from Reformation a few years ago, and it's so good that the brand keeps bringing it back."

@elizagracehuber"Having grown up in Chicago, I know how to handle cold winters, with the trick being to (1) layer on the Heattech, and (2) go extra with the accessories. The latter is the reason I rarely leave my apartment on a really cold day without a balaclava covering most of my head and face. It's a lifesaver this time of year."

@elizagracehuber"I'm picky about cashmere, but this scarf from the sustainable Swedish brand Filippa K doesn't disappoint. I swear, ever since I got this in the mail, I've worn it every single day, even when I'm freezing cold inside of my apartment when the heater chooses not to turn on randomly. I love that it's both casual and elevated, making it the perfect add-on for any occasion."

@elizagracehuber"I got this Nanushka coat last year from the men's department and have been wearing it throughout this winter with zero qualms. It's much warmer than the thinner, wool coats that I usually buy and gives off a very put-together vibe that I'll never complain about."

@trustmebuythis"Every winter, I buy a pair of black rubber-soled Zara boots that I end up wearing nearly every day for the entirety of the season. Not only do they tend to be the most comfortable, but they are also the best for standing up against the elements without having to worry about them getting ruined. They can be snow-day boots, rainy-day boots, or unseasonably warm-day boots. Whatever the weather brings, they're ready."
