15 Winter Jackets That'll Make You Forget It's Freezing Outside

Jan 20, 2023

Winter is brutal. And as a Texan girl who's experiencing her first Denver winter, I'm not just saying that to be dramatic. From my experience thus far, Texas winter tends to take it easy on everyone in comparison to this season in Colorado. Since moving, I've made it through multiple marathon snow days, and countless below-freezing temperatures for days in a row, something I've never been through before.

With these conditions it's so easy to want to stay in, where it's actually warm. It's not that I don't love the snow, I think it's absolutely beautiful. Plus, it's still a lovely novelty for me to witness... from the indoors, of course. Unfortunately my dreams of embarking on a months-long hibernation are continuously crushed by the reality that I actually do need to get outside for my wellbeing. Fresh air and vitamin D are big players in ensuring I don't get SAD. Yes, actually sad, but also the ever-looming and very real Seasonal Affect Disorder.

In the midst of all the wintry-ness, there's one thing I've learned for sure: Going outside in the cold can get old real quick when you're not prepared with the right gear. Whether it's for a wellness walk around the neighborhood, or venturing out for groceries, you have to be covered with a warm jacket. Layering up with sweaters and scarves is important, yes, but what’s really going to keep you warm in the winter is a dependable, high-quality coat or jacket. Without one, you'll freeze. (Trust me, I've been there. Never again!)

Below, I've listed some of the warmest, most top-rated winter jackets to bundle up in this season. These styles are some of the best options on the market that also make for a super cute winter outfit, all while keeping you comfortable and cozy. Find a trusty jacket to throw on between your cozy at-home hibernations and winter meal prep endeavors, and feel ready to brave the cold.

Cotopaxi Solazo Hooded Down Jacket ($240)

This winter jacket style is fairly lightweight, yet will supply all the coverage you need for cold days. We give it bonus points for tons of accessible pockets and a bold color-way!

L.L. Bean Mountain Classic Puffer Colorblock Jacket ($99)

The collar on this puffer will block out intensely cold wind drafts from reaching your base layers. This jacket also features great water-resistant technology, all while boasting a nostalgic retro color palette.

Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody ($167)

Made with 98% recycled materials, this puffer jacket is a great pick for any wintertime outing. It's just a classic fit, available in a handful of colors that you can mix and match with the rest of your cold weather accessories!

REI Co-op Down Jacket 2.0 ($100)

This warm jacket comes at a great value, without sacrificing any comfort. Made to pack in, and repel water and snow, this piece will become a staple in your winter wardrobe in no time.

The North Face 1996 Reto Nuptse Jacket ($320)

If you're a wintertime adventurer, this jacket is perfect for you. It's filled to the brim with ultra-warm down, but can also be tightly compressed in on itself, making it a convenient, packable option for when you're on the go.

Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket ($160)

The longer cut on this jacket ensures that your legs get some warmth and coverage. It also has thumb-holes on the sleeves, which come in handy for blocking out the cold.

Athleta Cozy Sherpa Coat ($199)

Sometimes wearing a puffier, stiffer coat is just not in the cards for you on a cold winter day. Sherpa materials are perfect for that! This jacket still has some lighter weight insulation, so you can layer it over a turtleneck, or even another jacket.

L.L. Bean Winter Warmer Coat ($149)

This weather-resistant, ultra-insulated jacket is great to throw on over any layer when you have to run out for errands or meet friends for a quick dinner! The insulation runs all throughout the jacket, even down to the sleeves, so you stay warm everywhere.

Free People Hit The Slopes Fleece Jacket ($148)

You'll be reaching for this cozy fleece cover when it's chilly, but not exactly freezing outside. It comes in so many unique colors so you can plan out a fun, color-forward outfit!

REI Co-op Norseland Insulated Parka 2.0 ($199)

A coat so cozy, it feels like you're wearing a full-on blanket. If you're in the market for a thicker coat with a reliable hood that doesn't fall down all the time, you'll want this REI pick to bundle up in.

Under Armour Legacy Sherpa Full-Zip ($65)

The cold can be at its worst when it starts chilling your neck. This sherpa zip-up makes sure that you don't get cold-bombed. Plus, the wide sleeves on this style are a unique touch, and make layering really easy. You'll feel totally wrapped up (and stylish!)

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Fleece Funnel Neck Jacket ($99)

This fleece jacket keeps things extremely soft, even in the harshest conditions. It's a perfect layer for when you need to run to the gym or hop out for an errand or two!

Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka ($649)

This jacket is surely a good bang for your buck, essentially granting you three layers to wear separately, or add together. You can make it yours, depending on just how cold it is. It's made to last you through countless winters, too.

UO Casey Corduroy Zip-Up Hooded Jacket ($119)

This relaxed-fit corduroy jacket prioritizes comfort, all while keeping your head super warm with a fleece-lined hood.

Patagonia Down With It Parka ($329)

The parka route is the best route to take in ultra-cold weather. This piece will cover you down to your knees, all while keeping your core warm!

15 Classy Christmas Outfit Ideas That’ll Win You ‘Best Dressed’ At Family Dinner

If you're anything like me, you treat Christmas like a whole fashion show. Whether it’s a wholesome family dinner or a (not so wholesome) party with hometown friends, I always plan to pull a look or two.

As opposed to years past, I’m looking to shake up my Christmas outfits a bit, playing with multiple patterns, cozy (yet stylish) layers, and, of course, a good pair of boots. Looking for inspo along those lines? We’ve got all the Christmas outfit ideas you need to stun at this year’s festivities.

Check out these 12 Christmas outfit ideas you have our full permission to copy this season!

Kayla Walden

Sparkles are extremely festive this time of year – go all out with a sequined dress to really embrace the Christmas spirit! You can find so many similar options at Anthropologie and Nordstrom. When paired with some cute ballet flats, you'll be feelin' like a little Christmas fairy in no time.

Haley Sprankle

A blazer will never fail to make your Christmas outfits look sophisticated. Layer one on top of a basic cable knit sweater for a classic feel (that'll also keep you super warm)! From there, trousers or tailored jeans will do. Don't forget to accessorize with red Christmas nails and a bold red lip color!

Jasmine Williams

Layers, layers, layers: it's the name of the Christmas outfit game, especially if you live somewhere super cold. But a practical 'fit doesn't have to be boring! Start with a comfy turtleneck and pants (over some leggings for extra warmth), then go crazy by mixing colors and patterns. This plaid + leather combo will be on repeat. Step into your favorite winter boots to bolden up the look!

Ali Ives

Statement jackets are the way to go. This leather one is lined with a furry material that not only holds in your body heat during outdoor excursions, but looks so chic, too. Layer one with some leggings, a black mini dress, and a bright red sweater like this one so you feel cozy all day long! Don't forget the boots, either! 😍

Haley Sprankle

Hair bows are the perfect accessory to rock alongside your Christmas outfits. From sleek sweaters like this one to more formal dresses, they fit the occasion oh-so nicely.

Haley Sprankle

For a *spicier* holiday get-up, don't hesitate to reach for your fave tall boots and little black dress. It's a no-fail combo! With an all-black situation like this one, you won't have to spend extra time worrying about if your outfit is matching perfectly or not. Wear the two pieces with some sheer black tights, or get creative with colored ones, like a bold red or sparkly white.

Kayla Walden

If your personal style leans more preppy, this is the Christmas outfit idea to copy: loafers and a pleated skirt instantly make you look dressed up, but the nice part is you're not sacrificing comfort for style one bit. This outfit formula can span over endless color combos, but we particularly love the burgundy-leaning look with this one.

Meredith Holser

You can never go wrong with a good green or red plaid dress. Bonus points if it's vintage, like this one! You can easily dress it up with tights and a cardigan, with boots or ballet flats to match!

Kayla Walden

Velvet dresses have our hearts (and closets). The material evokes a very vintage-y Christmas vibe that you can style over and over again. We're currently eyeing similar styles to this one from Target and Anthropologie!

Rachael Sprankle

Sequins shine again! If it's Christmas party time, you truly cannot go wrong with an eye-catching ensemble like this one. You'll leave the whole crowd stunned. A sequined dress also makes for some ahh-mazing Instagram pics! 📸

Ali Ives

Bundling up this winter doesn't have to be drab. Throw on a plaid scarf on top of a layered look to embrace all the Christmas vibes!

Kayla Walden

Playing with different materials and non-traditional color combos might just surprise you when it comes to creating the coolest Christmas outfits. For instance, this 'fit combines leather and suede, which contrast each other beautifully. You also might not immediately think of black and brown working well together, but this outfit idea defies all fashion "rules" in that regard.

Haley Sprankle

For a Christmas-y night out (ahem, bar crawl, anyone?), don your cutest holiday sweater with some comfy jeans and boots. We've found some really great options for fun holiday sweaters that are still super stylish!

Haley Sprankle

Get you a good tall black boot, and your Christmas outfit ideas will go far. They work wonderfully with everything from maxi dresses to midi skirts!

Kayla Walden

No matter what you wear this Christmas, there's always room for a playful (and festive!) hair bow.

The Holiday Crackers Trader Joe’s Shoppers Are Calling “So Delicious” Are Only In Stores For A Limited Time

After several Christmases, I have fully assumed the role of charcuterie-maker in my family. I geek out over arranging everything to be as perfect as possible – I’m talkin’ meats, cheeses, olives, nuts, peppers, dips, breads, and of course, crackers.

As a self-proclaimed pro, the signature mark of a great charcuterie spread is having plenty of unique flavor combos – and Trader Joe’s latest limited-edition innovation is just the thing I’ve been searching for to complete my snacky plans!

Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s Stollen Crisps have the people going crazy. While you’d normally assume crackers to be a savory treat, these crispy bites boast raisins, orange and lemon peels, and a “dusting” of powdered sugar.

The Stollen Crisps mimic the grocery chain’s famous Fig & Olive Crisps (which also inspired the late seasonal Raisin & Rosemary Crisps and Strawberry & Jalapeño Crisps) by combining unexpected sweet notes with a savory-leaning base. Every bite will leave your Christmas dinner guests reeling!

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Natasha Fischer (@traderjoeslist)

TJ’s fanatic @traderjoeslist recently reviewed the Trader Joe’s Stollen Crisps on their Instagram account, and plenty of shoppers chimed in to share their thoughts on them – including some epic snacking combinations.

“Those are soooo good!!” one person said enthusiastically. “I [took] the lemon ricotta and blended it with some heavy cream and a pinch of sugar. OMG. Sooooo good!!!!”

“I’ve been enjoying them with brie!” another commenter wrote.

“I had these last year and couldn’t wait for them to come back,” someone else commented. “Excellent with cheese - cuts the sweetness.”

Trader Joe's

The Trader Joe’s Stollen Crisps currently go for $4.29 for 5.3 ounces worth of crunchy crackers. They have the perfect balance of sweet and savory, qualifying them as the ideal cracker to add to your Christmas plans this year. Even if you normally don’t opt for out-there flavors like this, you’re definitely going to change your mind after a bite with brie.

You’ve gotta be quick, though – this Trader Joe’s marvel is only on shelves for a limited time. Though there’s not a concrete end date for this snack, it’ll likely be gone right after the holidays. Time to stock up!

Taylor Swift Just Finally Showed Us What's REALLY Inside Her Eras Tour 'Cleaning Cart'

FacebookTaylor Swift's Eras Tour may have officially come to a close, but she only just revealed one of the biggest mysteries of the $2 billion cultural phenomenon: her cleaning cart. If you're confused, let me break it down for you really quickly. Every night of the tour, Taylor Swift had to sneak onstage before the show, and fans predicted very early on that she hid in a cleaning cart that crossed the grounds shortly before everything started. It quickly became tradition for concert-goers to cheer every time the cart made its nightly pilgrimage to the stage, applauding for what they assumed to be their favorite singer taking her place backstage.

While she confirmed her makeshift vehicle in the "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" music video, she's finally giving us a peek behind the curtain — or rather, the cleaning cart. Here's what she posted!

Scroll to see what the inside of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour cleaning cart actually looks like!

Instagram/TaylorSwift

Taylor looks totally adorable, posing in her opening set body suit while sitting on a black chair in the cleaning cart. While understanding how the "August" singer got around in the cart would have been enough for me, there's plenty more inside to unpack, too. Here's everything I noticed in the cart:

A floral cat illustration: Such classic cat-lover behavior.
Printed out "Animals of the Day" flyer featuring Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin: She's such a proud cat mom!
A painting of a waterside town: Fans pointed out all over social media that this is potentially Cardiff, one of her many stops on the tour.
More hanging and taped-up decor: I'm dying to know what else Taylor wants to see before she hits the stage!
A little gold and red trinket on a ledge: Is Taylor a trinket girl?!
A little fan in the corner: And thank goodness, because you know that girl puts in hard work on that stage!

Is there anything I missed? Let me know in the comments!
