A great cold-weather wardrobe is key to making it through the frigid winter months in style. But what essentials are needed to successfully stay on-trend, yet warm and toasty at the same time? I’ve partnered with Jean Machine to share 3 simple pieces that every woman needs to build their perfect winter wardrobe.

1. Dark Skinny Jeans: While every other color of denim has it’s place, a pair of dark, skinny jeans can go great lengths in building new looks in your closet. Dress them up with a pair of pumps for dinner and drinks, or dress them down with your favorite kicks for a refined weekend look. I finally got my hands on a pair of Yoga Jeans that are renowned for their extreme comfort and flexibility factor, and bonus points for being 100% made in Canada. I’m never taking these off!
2. Sweater Coats: I hate being cold, so the bigger the sweater – the better. Sweater coats are the perfect mix of form and function and do double duty in the wardrobe department. Layer a loose fitted version over a thin knit, a tee, or even another sweater, and not only have you pulled off a chic winter look, you’ll be super cozy while doing it.
3. Neutral Scarves: You can never go wrong with a neutral toned scarf, and believe me this will be the only scarf you wear all winter long. I’m loving this cream chunky knit infinity scarf that pumps up the cozy factor and matches every shade of coat in my closet.
