From Sweaters To Boots: 12 Stylish Cold-Weather Layering Essentials From Walmart

By Emilia Wales

Ask any well-heeled insider what the secret to cold-weather style is, and they’ll agree: layering. It serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, strategic layers are key to navigating unpredictably fluctuating temps. Does the morning air have a particularly sharp bite to it? Throw on a camel-hue teddy coat for your coffee run. And if the afternoon gets a little balmier than usual, peel down to single knit. On the other, layers provide endless combinations for mixing and matching elements of your wardrobe for a truly personal expression of style. If you’re looking for inspiration to add to your closet, ahead are 12 stylish and unexpectedly affordable cold-weather layering essentials from Walmart’s Cold Weather shop.

Laid-Back Knitwear

Whether tucked into jeans, cinched with a belt, or layered with a skirt, one of this season’s most versatile trends is a classic oversized sweater. Opt for a slouchy silhouette with a turtleneck in a neutral tone like ivory, sky blue, or black — it will create the perfect foundation for a monochromatic look or one punctuated with color. For some extra texture (and warmth), top it off with a tailored plaid coat.

Boots For Every Mood

What is it about boots that always seems to give an outfit that finishing polish? Rotate in your pair of choice based on the aesthetic you’re feeling for that day. Western-inspired ankle booties offer a country-chic effect. Knit trimming on a suede-like finish creates cozy cohesion with a sweater-weather look. Shearling hiking boots are a perfect balance of rugged and editorial. And black knee-high boots are a staple whether you’re going for equestrian or something with a bit more edge.

Finishing Touches

Outerwear is the final and — depending on the temperature — most important step to a layered look. A trendy teddy coat or a vegan leather jacket will keep you warm in style. Or, reach for a heavyweight parka with thoughtful tailoring and trim details when you really need to ward off the chill. A hat and scarf in a soft grey add a nice touch of warmth and texture.
