Why not freshen up your winter wardrobe for the new year? This winter, we’re seeing basic classics with an elevated twist take the fashion world by storm. These closet essentials will help take your winter wardrobe to the next level.

Turtleneck sweaters

Chic without needing a scarf to keep your neck warm, turtlenecks can be found made with all different kinds of materials. From thin layering pieces to put under crewnecks to your final outer layer, a turtleneck is a classic option for any winter.

Nice Coat

Everyone has the puffer coat that wraps around your body and makes you look like a worm. And while that look is appropriate for every day, you need a nice coat for the evening or when your coat needs to be the outfit. Try a sleek black coat with fur (or faux fur) trim, a camel coat with tortoise buttons, or even a puffer coat made out of leather.

Fleece Lined Tights

Nude fleece lined tights create the illusion that you are wearing normal tights with your skirt. Though tights are already warm, fleece lined tights create a thermal layer around your skin while tricking other people into thinking you’re wearing normal tights on a cold day.

Sweater Dresses

Perfect for those wintry occasions where you have to look nice but still be warm to avoid hypothermia. Pair with your nice coat for date night, an office party, or New Year’s Eve!

Nice Jewelry

When your coat has to be the outfit, make sure you can accessorize wherever possible! Big earrings can add a touch of personality to an all-black coat look.

These tips are meant to help you stay stylish and fashionable all throughout the winter season, but make sure to let your personal style shine through, too. Use items you already have in your closet, and buy clothes you know you will love. Happy New Year!

But, if you live like most of the world, you don’t experience snow during the holiday season. The tropical weather during the month of December can really ruin the mood if you want to have a snowy, cozy holiday. Luckily, these places in North America have the most amazing snow the American continent has to offer.

Whistler, Canada

Popularized by the 2010 Winter Olympics, the ski slopes and evergreen trees around Whistler make it a magical place to spend the holiday season. Learn how to snowboard, go sledding or tubing, and live in a log cabin for a cozy getaway. Make sure to bring snow gear though! The average daytime temperature in December is 23 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius).

Burlington, Vermont

Winter activities encompass more than just skiing and snowboarding. If you want to feel like you’re in a Christmassy romcom from the ’90s, Burlington is the perfect city to visit over the holiday season. Catch up on some last minute shopping, maybe shop for yourself during all the sales, and admire the beautiful scenery and small-town vibe Burlington has to offer.

Asheville, North Carolina

The mild winters in Asheville are perfect for the faint-of-heart when it comes to cold weather. Ski slopes are right around the corner for anyone wanting to shred the slopes, and downtown Asheville is a must-see when it comes to museums and exhibits. Asheville is for those that want to experience the quintessential American town during the holiday season.

Boston, Massachusetts

Being a densely populated American city in New England, Boston is sure to be way less crowded in the winter than any other time of year. The extremely walkable city is home to the Freedom Trail, thousands of amazing restaurants, ice skating, and snowy, magical vibes during the holiday season.
