10 Gifts That Will Prepare Your Girl For All Her Winter Adventures
Remember that rebellious stage when you would sacrifice comfort for style and brave winter’s chilly temps in far-from-warm jackets and not-so-waterproof shoes? All it took was one day of really feeling the cold to decide that you’d never, ever be unprepared for the outdoors again. Well those days are behind us. Unlike when we were kids, this next generation actually doesn't have to make that oh-so-painstaking choice between fashion and function. How lucky are they?
Out of all the things your girl has had to give up this year — and trust us, we know there’s been plenty — you don’t want her to have to sacrifice outdoor adventures as winter heads your way. That’s why it’s time to help her curate a go-to roster of cold-weather faves she’ll reach for again and again.
Together with Athleta Girl, we put together a list of all the insulated, plush, and full-on cozy picks that will have your girl ready for all the outdoor adventures this winter. No matter what the activity or weather brings, it's up to you to help her take it on in style.
The Shimmery Long-Sleeve Tee
Your girl always sparkles on the inside — and now she can sparkle on the outside, too! This long-sleeve shimmer tee comes in a beautiful hue that works under any jacket, vest, or hoodie. And what’s more, the hidden mantra on the inside hem will boost her confidence no matter what she's doing.
The Go-To Tights
More demanding outdoor sports call for tights that move right along with her. Enter the Snowball Tight, which boasts brushed fabric for a lived-in feel and is as breathable as it is sweat-wicking, so she'll never catch a chill.
The Sleek (But Warm!) Jacket
Your little will adore this eggplant-hued jacket that’s both wind and water-resistant. If she wants to be outside for a while, she can layer it under a puffer for added warmth. The best part: There’s a confidence charm in the right pocket to calm fidgety fingers and remind her just how powerful she is.
The Electric-Hued Sherpa
Q: What’s better than a cozy sherpa hoodie? A: One that comes in on-trend fluorescent pink and has pockets to stash her phone, lip balm, and other cold-weather essentials while she’s biking, hiking, or anything in between.
The Hoodie Made For Layering
For the girly girl: A gorgeous ballerina pink hoodie with a seamless design she’ll basically want to live in. The sleek hood means it’ll be her new go-to layering piece (pro tip: It looks great paired with the Hybrid Jacket).
The School-To-Play Joggers
Crushed velvet joggers will be her new Friday fave mostly because they’re equal parts stylish and comfy (hello, drawstring waist!). She can head straight from school to the park without ever having to change once class is out of session.
The Take-On-The-Day Headband
When it comes to outdoor excursions, there’s no time for taming flyaways. Keep her strands out of her face with a pretty lavender headband that has gel on the underside so it'll stay put from dawn to dusk.
The Winter-Ready Boots
There’s nothing that cuts the day short faster than cold and wet feet. These fur-lined waterproof booties feature an adjustable toggle so you can ensure she gets just the right fit.
The Second-Skin Gloves
Icy days are no match for these ultra-soft gloves. A pull-on tab at the wrist means they'll be easy to get on and off, plus five-finger touchscreen capabilities means she can text you her ETA before dinner, typo-free.
The Go-Anywhere Water Bottle
Finally, a cool canteen with a built-in straw that makes hydration fun. If she's not the backpack type, the pop-up handle means it's a cinch to carry from place to place.
