Here in Chicago, we are entering the coldest months of the year. If you’re a teacher and have bus or recess duty, you know how important it is to dress for cold weather! I always recommend layering to stay warm and using accessories to add both style and functionality. I’ve rounded up my top picks for cold weather gear and have put together a few outfits to keep you stylish and warm!

1. Outerwear:

Winter Coat: Invest in a high-quality, insulated coat that covers your body well. Options include parkas, puffer jackets, wool coats, or trench coats.
Down Jacket: Lightweight and warm, down jackets are great for extremely cold days.
Waterproof Jacket: If it’s snowy or rainy, a waterproof jacket with insulation will keep you dry and warm.

2. Sweaters:

Chunky Knit Sweaters: These add warmth and style. Pair them with jeans or leggings.
Turtleneck Sweaters: Keep your neck warm and add a touch of sophistication to your outfit.
Cashmere Sweaters: Luxuriously soft and warm, perfect for both casual and dressy occasions.

3. Bottoms:

Jeans: Opt for thicker denim or lined jeans to provide extra insulation. Fleece lined jeans are also amazing!
Leggings or Thermal Pants: Wear these under your pants for an extra layer of warmth.

4. Boots:

Knee-High Boots: Stylish and effective at keeping your legs warm.
Snow Boots: Insulated, waterproof boots are essential for snowy or wet conditions.
Ankle Boots: Versatile and can be paired with both jeans and dresses.

5. Accessories

Scarves: Wool or cashmere scarves add warmth and a pop of color to your outfit.
Gloves: Invest in insulated, touchscreen-compatible gloves to keep your hands warm.
Beanies or Hats: Keep your head warm with a stylish beanie or a wool hat.
Ear Muffs: If you prefer not to wear a hat, ear muffs can be a cute alternative.
Socks: Thermal or wool socks are essential for keeping your feet warm.

6. Layering Pieces:

Thermal Tops: Wear these under your sweaters for an extra layer of warmth.
Vests: Quilted or down vests add warmth without being too bulky.

7. Dresses and Skirts:

Tights: Wear thick tights or leggings under dresses or skirts for added warmth.
Long Sweater Dresses: Stylish and cozy, perfect for cold weather.

8. Accessories:

Blanket Scarves: Large, cozy scarves that can also double as wraps.
Belt: Cinch your coat or sweater with a stylish belt to add shape and warmth.
Jewelry: Chunky statement necklaces and bracelets can add flair to winter outfits.

Remember to choose fabrics like wool, cashmere, and fleece for added insulation, and don’t forget to consider the weather conditions in your area when selecting your cold-weather wardrobe.
