I moved to Ohio in 2014 and ever since then I am realized just how important it is to have a great collection of gear to keep you warm and dry during the half of the year that is Winter. These are my top 11 looks to look cute while staying warm!

1. Hunter Boots

Hunter wellies have been trendy for several years now.Just throw on a pair of wool socks, some thermal leggings, and hope that there isn't a polar vortex!

2. Knit Sweaters

Who doesn't have a few of these classics in their winter wardrobe? If you don't have one you should make it happen! They're pretty much always in style.

3. Bulky Scarves

Cute, functional, and warm. Grab one of these before it gets too cold!

4. Snow Boots

As much as I wish normal shoes were do-able during the snowy months...they just aren't. You'll want these before that first blizzard hits.

5. Slouchy Beanies

Keep those ears covered when the temps drop. You can find these pretty much anywhere.

6. Puffy Vests

Throw this on over a hoodie and you'll be extra toasty warm!

7. Puffy Jackets

These are definitely my favorites. They aren't too bulky and they keep you super warm.

8. Gloves

I think this is self-explanatory.

9. Fur Lined Leggings

I know I'm not the only one who owns more than 5 pairs of solid black leggings. Stock up on the fur lined ones to stay extra warm this winter!

10. Snow Shoes

No, this isn't a joke. If this winter is anything like January 2014 you'll need these to get anywhere too. Start looking now.

11. Chapstick

Okay, so this isn't really something you wear style-wise but it is something you'll need when the wind starts picking up and the air stays dry. Cracked lips are the worst and you can prevent them with this goodness!
