Cold weather is just around the corner, and the forecast for this winter is ferocious. Now is the time to armor up!

Whether your winter includes trekking through the woods or trudging through the city, your weatherproof outerwear game can be the same – a great puffer and a pair of hiking boots.

Previously, puffer coats styling has been more on the utilitarian side – useful and necessary but uninspired. This year designers presented a rainbow of incredible colors and its perfect opportunity to invest in a colorful pick-me-up for your wardrobe.

As for weather proof boots, the heavy duty hiker style is best for carrying us through the slush. These options will keep your toes warm – adorable with jeans for trudging around on weekends or perfect for the morning commute to the office before you pop on your heels.

Check out my picks for staying warm with style below!
