I wouldn’t go with an Aritzia jacket, but from a brand that only does winter gear

Do not do the aritzia super puff - go LL bean, north face, columbia, or Canada goose instead. Yes to cashmere lined leather gloves, yes to electric hand warmers, hats are not optional, type of base layer is not as important as the fact that you layer up, make sure your winter boots are waterproof (bean boots are Fall boots, I would recommend sorrel or Columbia). A wool coat is nice when dressy (j crew Black Friday), cashmere socks are your best friends, Aquaphor everywhere. You’ve got this.

Don’t sleep on L.L. Bean or Lands End for coats or other outerwear.

This is funny where are you from? It’s cold but it’s not the antarctic.

Size up in your jacket for sure!!!! Nothing is more uncomfortable than wearing a bulky sweater and it getting folded under your jacket

You need 3 kinds of coats. 1. Long nice coat to where to nice events. 2. Long puff coat purely for 20 below. 3. Short puffer for the 40 degree temps.

okay this is random advice but don’t start wearing your thick jackets too early. Let yourself acclimate a bit, medium weight jacket + hat + scarf. I wouldn’t break out the long superpuff until nov at the earliest

Here to say no to Aritzia. I’m a Northface girl and they have a great lifetime warranty. Icebreaker wool socks and wool layers from them are my go tos. Sorel is the better warmer boot. As a native Floridian who moved here, learn from my mistakes. All of those brands are a waste of time for the cold do the better ones and just spend the money. Also I don’t do fleece leggings, I do icebreaker wool ones

You need several pairs of gloves as you’ll inevitable lose some out and about

get an eddie bauer jacket and call it a day. the aritzia one is overrated. wool coat is nice but I recommend thrifting vs. firsthand.

Make sure your jacket has two zippers! I unzip the bottom when sitting like in a car or subway. Also if you get hot you don’t have to completely unzip the whole jacket. I also don’t recommend the brown color people might say u look like a 💩 (my mom and sister both said that to me). I got the Quince version of the artizia coat in a deep purple/plum and got so many compliments. Also easier to find amongst a sea of black coats. Good luck from a born and raised Midwesterner! 🩷

Always buy jackets a little bigger so you can layer sweaters or other stuff under if needed

A humidifier for your bedroom is more important than you think! I like to have one in my bedroom and my living room, personally. It gets so dry here, and you learn quickly that static is both annoying and shocking everyone and everything you touch gets old fast. 😭

I always size up for my coats so I can layer. I love Columbia, or LL bean for my coats and jackets. I love fleece-lined leggings as well!

All the advice in the comments 💯 trying to say something that hasn’t been said. Don’t sleep on wearing sunglasses or blue light glasses when walking outside that wind hitting your eyes will make you much colder/eyes tear & then dry out. It can really help. :)

Save your bean boots for cold but not snow/ice. Get a new pair with good traction for icy sidewalks

You're going to need at least 3 underlayers to rotate through. Merino wool will keep stink out better, but if you have access to quick laundry then go Uniqlo and get like 5 pairs. Don't bother with the fleece lined leggings. LLBean also sells flannel lined jeans. Darn tough socks will replace pairs with holes. You're going to need a salve for your hands to layer on top of lotion at night (like aquaphor or bag balm).

Don’t buy aritzia puff parka, you need a REAL coat from like north face, ll bean, Columbia etc, the fashion ones aren’t gonna do anything for u when we dip well into the negatives.
