Winter weather makes us want to bundle up from the cold! But sometimes it’s hard to know what will work best to block the blustery Evanston winds. Fret not, the Her Campus Northwestern staff gathered up our list of winter staples to share with you!
My winter staple is definitely my Neff Cupcake Beanie in Strawberry. It ‘s a little silly, and may look like it was made for a five-year-old girl, but it makes bundling up for a walk down Sheridan fun. The hot pink brightens up any gray winter day, and it’s a conversation starter. Not to mention it makes you very easy to spot around campus.

Dive bar – This polish screams ‘edgy mermaid’ – you don’t have to pick between black, green, blue, sparkles, shine – it’s all there and it’s not overwhelming. Just dark and mysterious, like that kid who never seems to leave his seat in reference.
Fuzzy socks: Hide them in your favorite boots or wear them for everyone to see. People will be jealous, whether you think so or not. My best friend stole a pair from my collection freshman year and still has not given them back. Love it or hate it, haute look or fashion antichrist, they are winter’s best buddies.

Knee Socks are great to wear under pants, boots, or even while lounging around in the dorm. They keep me warm and look cute!

My winter staple is definitely a pair of fuzzy earmuffs. You would not believe how much your body warms up when you have your ears protected. If you have to wear them, why not make them a fashion statement? My friends say these make me look like an obnoxious bunny, but I think they’re adorable. I have mine in white because I’m obsessed with winter whites right now!

My winter staple is a big, cozy cardigan like this one from Forever21. You can layer it over a simple shirt, or belt it and wear with leggings.I practically live in oversized sweaters and flannels during the winter, they’re so warm and comfortable. My roommate and I even nicknamed my style “hobo chic.”
