As winter approaches, I find myself hunting for pieces that pack a lot of warmth but are still fully functional. If I want to take a dance break in the middle of the day (as it happens sometimes), I need my clothes to support my movements while keeping me cosy. While I love layering [1], I never want to sacrifice comfort [2]. That's why I begin my search on Uniqlo [3], the Japanese provider of practical clothing designed to enhance your everyday.
I found 21 soft and comfortable winter layers under $50 so you never have to worry about the cold while staying within budget. Get ready to conquer cold-season style.
