Winter weather is here—at least in my hometown in Maine. The second I got off the plane and felt the crisp breeze, I knew I needed some more cozy layers and warm jackets to survive the holiday break. First, I picked up a piping-hot golden milk latte from my favorite local café, then I hit up the J.Crew at the mall to shop for some cold-weather basics from its Black Friday sale. The first item on my list was the perfect sweater. I found plenty of options that suited my fancy—from luxuriously soft brushed cashmere to the most lovely Fair Isle wool sweater. And then I was completely distracted by the jackets! They're immaculate. I loved their puffers and peacoats, both guaranteed to keep you warm and chic. I highly recommend starting your holiday break with an impromptu shopping spree—especially when you can get 60% off. Keep scrolling to see the other winter staples that made it into my cart.
