Wardrobe Basics Checklist for Winter

Winter Basics 

Heavy sweater

Look for a big, chunky knit that’s both comfortable and stylish. 

  

Cashmere hoodie

More luxurious than the cotton variety, this layering piece is a sportier version of the cardigan. 

Dark-wash jeans

A wardrobe standby in the cold winter months that’s available in a variety of cuts. Keep in mind that boot-cut and wide-leg styles work well over boots. 

Pantsuit

Wear the jacket and pants together to show you mean business—or treat them like separates to maximize their use.
