What: For skiiing or everyday, vests keep chills away.

What we say: When jackets are too bulky and a little extra warmth is needed, try a fleece or down vest to keep coldness at bay. We love these vests layered over a thermal tee or even a sweater for super chills days. They look great with skirts and leggings, jeans, cords or even ski pants, if you’re hitting the slopes.

Old Navy has a great fleece vest for girls that comes in ice blue, magenta, bright green, black, white, and butterfly pattern. ($22) Not only do you have your pick of color, but with cozy lining, snapping pockets, and a zipper that goes form hem to neck, this vest is fashionable but also fully-loaded for winter.

For boys we love Old Navy’s Chest-Stripe Quilted Vest. A little bit seventies, a little bit surfer, this cozy item is both fun and functional. Choose between brown and red or light and dark blue.

Target also has some great vests for boys and girls for $19.99. Check out this plaid vest for boys that could be skater or classic, depending on how it is worn. For girls we love this reversible vest. The green version had argyle pattern on the inside, while the magenta one had plaid. Super cute and versatile.
