What’s that? You’ve determined it’s finally time to peel away the throw blanket semi-permanently attached to your lap in exchange for actual clothing? Don’t worry, we can assist. Despite the fact that winter’s chill often feels like a hex on personal style, the secret to wearing a real-person outfit during the coldest months of the year is layering with warm and cozy textiles — no fuss, no muss.
If you’re not already acquainted, Cuddl Duds is a go-to for achieving head-to-toe stylish — and cozy — outfits for varying degrees of cold temperatures. This fact, combined with our need to do stuff, like get groceries and walk the dog, is why we teamed up with the brand to come up with four winter outfits that make getting dressed infinitely more effortless. Ahead, see our breakdown of their four collections (Softwear with Stretch, SoftKnit, Stretch Thermal, and Fleecewear with Stretch) and the best scenarios to wear them in. With any luck, you’ll survive the season with nary a regrettable outfit to reflect back upon.
For At-Home Hangs
Okay, we know we said this was all about leaving your house, but we want to make this transition easy, which is why this look featuring the Cuddl Duds Softwear with Stretch crew and leggings is a fine place to begin. Layer a striped longline cardigan on top of these base layers and accessorize with seasonal socks and slippers for an outfit that feels appropriate for, say, an English countryside cottage.

For Grocery Store Runs
For some, getting groceries is a nagging life necessity. For others, it’s an opportunity to test-drive a fresh outfit idea in front of strangers. Whichever camp you fall in, incorporating warm layers into your market run is a must in the winter. We love the look of this SoftKnit crew in a Northern Lights pattern for an abstract art vibe combined with leggings and white jeans layered on top. And to solidify the cool-vegetables-section-girl vibe, we’ll be adding in a duvet coat plus white lace-up boots.

This matching buffalo check set from Cuddl Duds will be your base and for extra layers, a powdery lavender button-down and a wintry white anorak. Don’t forget accessories like OTK boots and socks for A+ seasonal style.

For Dog-Walking Duties
Fleecewear with Stretch is the warmest category for Cuddl Duds and we’ve reserved it for the task that tends to be the most challenging in the temperature department: dog walking. The brand’s tie-dye top pairs well with the black zip hoodie and leggings in the ultra-warming fabric, and if you add a cute beanie, fanny pack, and sneakers, this necessary chore will feel like a lighter lift.
