East Coast winters are ridiculously brutal, and as thick-skinned as we are as a group, subzero temps are hard to stand. The weather makes everything that much more difficult, like commuting, piecing together outfits, waking up...or functioning as a human being. We rounded up nine chic pieces that you can throw on over, underneath, and in between your layers as added insulation against the cold. From a heat-tech shirt to heavy-duty marled socks, shop these no-think ways to winter-proof your look.
