I Live in NYC—This Is What Everyone I Know Uses to Stay Warm in the Winter

Living on the East Coast, I’ve always had a surprisingly avoidant relationship with winter. I’m originally from Boston, so you’d think I’d be used to the cold from birth—but it’s actually been the opposite. It’s the season I dread most, and staying warm is something I have to think about very intentionally.

For years, whenever I asked friends how they manage to stay warm in the winter, the first words out of their mouths were always some version of “Uniqlo Heattech.” Tired of constantly complaining about the cold when it’s inevitable, I’m finally taking their advice—stocking up on pieces from both the Uniqlo Heattech and Pufftech lines.
