We’ve reached the time of year when the main outfit priority is to stay warm. Take it from me—I just returned from a very snowy trip in which my teeth chattered every time I stepped outside.

I took some time scrolling through all of the recent wintery photos in my Instagram feed, and selected a few that check all of the boxes: chic, warm, and comfortable. Read on to shop what you need to make them happen during the coldest season of the year.
