I don't know about you, but I'm always cold. When others are feeling a bit chilly, I'm likely on the verge of frostbite. When I'm in an AC-blasting office or shop, I die a little inside. A cool breeze is the death of me, and I've learned to accept it. But this isn't to say that I don't enjoy the fall and winter seasons—in fact, layering is one of my favorite activities and discovering new outerwear is unusually satisfying. And it goes without saying that I love me a good chunky knit. So if you're like me and keeping warm is a year-round struggle, here are a few sweaters that are as stylish as they are supportive.

It may require a special wardrobe, but I think we all agree that this meal is worth it. After the jump, check out our picks for the best tops to hide the bulge and mess of Thanksgiving, while still looking like a million bucks.

But the best part about dressing for the cold? Boots. With last year’s unpredictable snowstorms, we want to be ready in the event of rain or snow. After the jump, check out our favorite wood-soled boots for this winter—perfectly light and durable to keep you high and dry.
