As someone from Minnesota, I know that each fall and winter season calls for frigid, weather-appropriate clothing! Annually, I attempt to perfect winter dressing to combine style with practicality.

From an experienced cold-winter dresser to you, here are my favorite items for the fall and winter seasons:

  • Sherpa coat: this season’s most useful (yet cute) winter coat! A neutral sherpa coat will keep you warm while on-trend. 
  • Plaid scarf: a snuggly way to accessorize! 
  • Ugg boots: perhaps a controversial opinion, but I am an avid fan!
  • Cashmere sweater: the softest type of sweater that is certain to keep you cozy.
  • Warm socks: a necessary item, especially if you want to wear your sneakers & less-seasonally appropriate shoes into the colder months.
  • Knit straight-leg pants: an elevated version of sweatpants that are equal parts cozy & on trend!
  • Cable knit oversized sweater: a classic style with an updated twist… a timeless cable knit sweater is foundational for any winter wardrobe. However, the oversize element will make it more fashionable and primed for the winter.
  • Statement Cardigans: the perfect way to layer in the winter! Wear an animal print, sherpa, colorful, or fringe cardigan to complete your outfit with a warm touch. 

Stay cozy, my friends!
