All of these items are all-inclusive to all body types. I think it is important that our bigger queens have choices as well for everyone. It is important everyone feels warm, happy, and confident in the winter months coming. Remember that it is comfy girl season. My favorite cold-weather clothing includes comfy clothes, warm clothes, vests, and animal prints! Check out what makes all of them so essential for the cold to come.

Animal prints

Animal prints are always a hit BUT when it is snowing out, they are so iconic. I think that the snow makes them really pop. However, keep in mind to do your research. We don’t support animal abuse or using real animal fur for clothing. I also think animal prints look good on every size so it is such a diverse pattern that everyone can enjoy!

Comfy Clothes

Maurice’s and Aerie have the COMFIEST joggers. They are so soft, stretchy, and comfy. Something I always think is important is comfort. Looking good and being comfortable should go hand in hand. Honestly, comfort doesn’t have to be “presentable” to our societal standard either. If you want to wear your jogger jammie pants to Walmart, do it, queen. It’s comfy girl season.

Warm clothes

One thing I have found with clothing is that a black shirt with ANY scarf print always goes together. I think a scarf is so essential in the winter. I wear my hair up a lot and my ears and neck get so cold. When my neck gets cold my throat gets sore which we all know is not a vibe. Scarves, gloves, and my personal favorite, headbands. I love those warm headbands over hats since I wear my hair up it is more convenient.

vests

My all-time favorite cold-weather item is a vest. I love vests. You can wear a long sleeve, jacket, coat, anything under a vest and it looks iconic. It keeps you warm, has pockets, and makes me feel safe to an extent. If you haven’t worn a vest in the winter months you are doing it wrong, queen. INVEST. I am telling you!
