When it comes to the in-between weather, it can be difficult to pick out the perfect outfit. After all, you want to make sure you’re warm enough while still having the option of taking off layers if the sun comes out or it gets warmer throughout the course of the day. And, of course, you want to look chic and stylish all season long.

Here at PixieLane, we make it easy. Whether you’re searching for summer weather dresses or cardigans for those chilly days, we have the looks you’re guaranteed to love in a wide variety of styles and patterns. Find 40-degree weather outfits for the whole family with PixieLane today.

Stay Warm With Lots of Layers

The key to dressing for 40-degree weather is layers. That’s because it can get warmer during the heat of the day and because the heat is often on when you go indoors. Layering means you have options for cooling down and staying comfortable, even when there’s cold weather outside.

Looking to layer? It’s easy to layer your next look with these fun and classic pieces.

Long-Sleeve Crew Sweatshirts

Crewneck sweatshirts have a high rounded collar that goes up to the neck. They were originally designed to keep rowers warm out on the water, which is why they’re the perfect addition to your cozy closet.

You can find long-sleeve crew neck sweatshirts in various colors and styles, including your alma mater or favorite sports team. That means they’re a good option for layering and matching with the pieces you already have in your wardrobe.

Long-Sleeve T-Shirts

If you’re looking for airy clothes or shirts that are a little looser, a long-sleeve t-shirt is the way to go. They’re light and relaxed but will help to keep the heat in, so you’ll stay warm on the chilliest of mornings.

If you get cold, throw a thick sweater or vest over your long sleeves, or pair your t-shirt with a flannel in your favorite colors for a fun nod to ‘90s-era grunge. You can even throw a dress over your favorite long-sleeve look for a full-on ‘90s ensemble.

Cozy Loungewear

Loungewear is always a good idea. Loungewear allows you to stay cozy in your own home while still looking and feeling put together. You can even have friends and family over while in your favorite loungewear set.

There are many reasons to add some stylish loungewear pieces to your wardrobe. They’re comfortable and warm for colder weather.

They also match and pair easily. That means you can create unique and creative loungewear looks with just a handful of high-quality pieces.

Thick, Warm Leggings

Of course, you want to keep your legs warm as well as your upper body — and that’s where thick, but gentle leggings can really come in handy. Check out the interior material, as some leggings are available with fleece and other warm fabrics.

Here at PixieLane, we also carry CloudFlex leggings, which are made with a heavier type of fabric than traditional leggings. That means it’s easier to stay warm while still wearing lightweight pieces you love. They’re form-fitted and very easy-going for the ultimate in mobility and range of movement.

And if you just can’t get enough of cozy leggings, brushed leggings are the way to go. We use special techniques to get a soft and fuzzy texture and to achieve a truly unique and stylish final design. Brushed leggings are perfect for that deep chill.

Outerwear for 40-Degree Weather

Of course, when it comes to 40-degree weather, you’ll want to dress very differently indoors than out. Staying warm is essential for preventing chills and colds and for keeping the whole family healthy and safe.

These essential pieces can really help:

Warm and Cozy Hoodies

You just can’t go wrong with a hoodie. Hoodies are very versatile and comfortable, and they’re perfect for layering on chilly days.

Don’t feel boxed into the traditional hoodie silhouette. Try pull-over hoodies or zip-up hoodies, with or without drawstrings.

Layer them over t-shirts, tank tops, and long-sleeves, and pair them with your favorite jeans or leggings. It’s the closest you can get to wearing a hug!

Light Jackets

A light jacket is always a good idea on a chilly day. Look for options like a lightweight wool coat, water-resistant jacket, windbreakers, and more. You want to consider what kind of activities you’ll be enjoying outdoors when it comes to picking out the perfect light jacket for chilly weather.

Comfy Sweatpants

It just doesn’t get cozier than sweatpants. Sweatpants are usually lined with fleece or other soft and warm materials, which makes them a good option for keeping warm. They’re comfortable and a breeze to move in, which is why kids of all ages are sure to enjoy them.

Wool-Lined Boots or Shoes

Remember to keep your feet warm, as well. Our fingers and toes get cold easier and more quickly than other parts of the body, which is why it’s so important to wear the right shoes and socks.

Wool-lined boots are useful for both keeping your feet warm and for wicking moisture and keeping them dry. Explore your many options for cool-weather shoes and find the perfect pair today.

The Best Cold-Weather Accessories

You don’t want to forget the cold-weather accessories, like hats and gloves. They’ll help to keep your face and hands warm, and they’ll add a little something special to your next outfit.

Which of these darling pieces will you try on first?

Fuzzy Beanies

Beanies are warm and exciting; they’ll keep your ears protected on those windy days. Match them with your favorite winter jacket or boots, or make the beanie the star of the cozy show. The only question is, pom pom or no pom pom?

Winter Gloves

Of course, you’ll want to keep your hands and fingers warm as well. A lightweight pair of winter gloves are perfect for 40-degree weather when your extremities get cold first. For an extra splash, match your gloves to your hat.

Comfy, Stylish Clothes for Any Weather

When it comes to 40-degree weather, it’s all about the layering. That’s why you’ll want to find unique and stylish pieces like hoodies, crewneck sweaters, sweatpants, and leggings. It’s also why you’ll want to pair them with accessories and outerwear for when you head outside, like gloves, hats, and lightweight jackets. Try on pieces that mix and match easily and that will be comfortable to wear inside and out.
