Small layering pieces can make the biggest splash in your winter wardrobe, and provide maximum heat. Since the birth of the layering trend, turtlenecks have been a popular favorite to pair under bulky sweaters, dresses, and t-shirts. Solids work best for specific formal attires, like white and black, though white is a daytime favorite (especially paired with overalls and sneakers). However, striped turtlenecks add a pop of texture to graphic t-shirts, leather jackets, and even jumpsuits. This is a great option for a brunch or dinner reservation, date night, the office, or for anyone that runs hot, but would still like that extra layer of protection from the cold.

Another small but mighty option is a silk scarf. Because it's a natural insulator, silk simultaneously regulates moisture from the air while also containing your body heat. Silk also organically flushes out sweat and moisture, which rolls off the fabric, not seeped into it. It's also a popular favorite for those allergic to fibers like wool or polyester blends, therefore great for anyone needing a hypoallergenic option. Designer Nathan Kong suggests tying a silk scarf as you would a normal winter scarf, or like an ascot. He also suggests layering it on top of a turtleneck by knotting it again, close to the body. Combine these two layering tricks together, and you're in for a fashion-forward treat.
