Build a winter wardrobe on a budget

Temperatures are going down, and the time has come to add basic and versatile garments to your closet.

My first recommendation for building your winter closet is to start with good quality pieces to wear underneath your clothes. One of the best and affordable brands that offer these types of winter basics is Uniqlo. The fashion brand has a collection for women, men, kids, and babies called HEATTECH. Add the following pieces to your closet: the Women Heattech Camisole $14.90, the Heattech Leggings $19.90, and the Heattech Waist-Warmer Shorts $14.90. These innerwear pieces will not only keep you warm but also allow you to layer them with more fashionable clothes.

Now that we have the base of your everyday winter outfit for $50, let’s add the next layer. One of the best winter pieces to play with and layer are turtleneck sweaters, but this year, we recommend you add a turtleneck bodysuit. This elegant piece is the perfect cold weather fashion piece, and you can get it in five different colors at PrettyLittlething $22. Wear it with pants and skirts or under a silk dress.
To top off your outfit, wear a cool outerwear piece, like a puffer jacket. This jacket style is a must-have in any closet. They are comfy and perfect for winter. Add a neutral tone or a basic color like black to your wardrobe. Our recommended styles are from H&M and will cost you less than $80. The first style is the Padded Hooded Jacket $69.99, which has a beautiful design and color, perfect for those who are located in colder weather.

The second style is the Boxy Puffer Jacket $39.99. This jacket comes in 4 different tones, but our favorite is the Rust Brown; this color will go well with black, navy, and brighter tones.
Last but not least: winter accessories. In this category, we have the traditional winter accessories and the more trendy fashion accessories. If you are more classic, we recommend that you look for cashmere accessories; this fabric is sophisticated, warm, and elegant. The best retail shop to look for cashmere scarves, gloves, and beanies are Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off 5th. If you go for a more contemporary look, try fedora hats, leather gloves, and printed stockings.
With these pieces, you’re bound to stay warm during those cold winter months.
