What is it about fluffy, fuzzy, and soft things that makes them so impossible to resist? This is a question I ask myself every Winter as I watch my closet overflow with sweaters, beanies, and — somehow — more pairs of socks that I convince myself are cold-weather "essentials."
But I can't help it: whether I'm in- or outdoors, there's a certain (literal) comfort in being cozy and warm. This is especially true when you live in a place where changing seasons are all too real and temperatures get very cold.
As I've shopped around for this year's new additions, I eventually found myself on Banana Republic's website, which is chock-full of oversize cardigans, adorable berets, and tech-friendly gloves. And that's just the beginning. To give you a preview of all the cozy pieces you'll find on the site, I've rounded up my top 25 favorites that have made the retailer one of my new go-tos for Winter staples. Just keep reading to shop.
