Cozy Pieces That Make Outdoor Hangouts With Friends SO Much Better
Amazon

As the chill in the air settles, it can only mean one thing: switching out your wardrobe, of course. While life looks a bit different these days, you’ll still want stylish and comfortable clothes that are as great for going out as they are for staying in. And since a lot more social gatherings are happening outside, to prepare you for the nip in the air, I've gathered this list of cozy pieces that make outdoor hangouts so much better.

If you love your loungewear and want to wear it all day long, consider a pair of fleece-lined joggers that are soft, stretchy, and extra warm, or an updated take on two-piece sweats sets — go matchy matchy or split it up, the choice is yours. Layering pieces will be your best friend as evening creeps in or a gust of wind blows through. To that end, consider a great cardigan or chunky sweater you can throw on when it’s chilly that's compact (and wrinkle-resistant) enough to stash in your bag until you need it. And for the generally cold-averse or those who love outdoor adventures, perhaps some accessories like foot warmers that keep your toes toasty for up to six hours, a USB-powered heated blanket, or maybe even a pair of flannel-lined gloves?

Regardless of what fun looks like these days, there’s something on this list to keep you feeling cozy so you can keep having fun, no matter what the weather throws your way.
