Stay Warm and Stylish This Winter

No one wants to be cold during the holidays. That's why you need to take a closer look at what's in your wardrobe right now. Do you have the essentials for the upcoming months of chilly mornings, afternoons and nights? Look no further because here is where you need to be to make sure you're kept toasty and stylish until board shorts are back in season.

Gap, always an awesome place to go during the colder moments in fashion, has a selection of zip-ups that will be sure to keep you heated. They have a delicious highland green half-zip pullover with a ribbed collar, sleeve edges and waist band. It also comes in black. It's 50% wool so you know there will be some heat trapping going on with this little knit gem. It is going for $68 which is not a bad price. This pullover is something than can be matched with light or dark denim, khakis and even slacks. It's thick enough to wear out on a fairly brisk day but also thin enough to wear under an overcoat. The versatility of this particular half-zip knit is incredible.

The same goes for their heather gray zip front cardigan which is 100% cashmere. It has a V-neck that eventually morphs to where the zipper is placed. This could be styled with something as simple as a T-shirt underneath it or even a polo. The cardigan would look great with a part of black pants, but would also stand out when its sleeves are pushed up and coupled with a great pair of dark denim.

American Eagle serves up one of the hottest pullovers for this season with its quarter-zip homestead sweater for just $49.50! It comes in deep navy with a horizontal golden pinstripe, a heather gray and red wool but the standout selection of these is without a doubt the deep navy. The latter two seem to be more of the typical pick and while you want to make sure you're staying warm and comfortable during the teeth chattering wakeups, you also want to make sure you don't have the exact same thing as Joe, John, Jim and Jake. This may seem impossible since AE is a chain store across the nation, but it's all about picking what looks good and, in my opinion, picking the things that look good that most others will pass by because they want the more obvious choice.
