Urgent roundup: 15 incredibly cozy finds to help you fend off this frigid cold

We hate to state the obvious, but it's really, really cold outside. And not in a Canadiana-cute, making snow angels and sipping hot chocolate kind of way. This year's first big chill has proven to be more of the 80 km/h winds, penguins-need-to-be-brought-inside variety. But there is a bright side to the entire country being coated in a heavy layer of frost (other than making it totally acceptable to camp out on the couch and binge-watch a few favourites): it's an opportunity to invest in faux furs, fleeces, sherpas and just about any other fabric that'll make you feel toasty warm inside — even when you're faced with braving the storm. From elevated outerwear to seriously soft PJs, here are the coziest things to cover your body in right now.

Incredibly luxe and bearing a striking emerald hue, this plush faux fur coat effortlessly defies the myth that cozy clothes belong indoors and under blankets. Its high neck and thick lining will help fend off winter winds, so you can breeze from the office to dinner to drinks without turning into an icicle.

Slouchy, oversized and so incredibly soft, this fuzzy, two-toned sweater belongs at the top of your outfit rotation this season.

A fabric as cozy as cashmere couldn't stay confined to sweater sets forever — and thank goodness, because now we get to drape our whole bodies in it.

Lenny's got nothing on this. The cascading, pink champagne-coloured faux fur scarf from Zara is the epitome of extra.

Cold tile floors will be no match for these light and feathery ribbed socks. While we especially love this bright lilac shade, the calf-highs come in a bunch of different colours, so you can scoop up snuggly new pairs for every day of the week.

This merino wool wonder from Wilfred is basically a robe that you won't get weird looks for wearing in public. The structural silhouette ensures that you won't disappear under its felt-like fabric, while small details like the cardigan's crisp, front-slash pockets and side slits really make it shine.

You probably already have a few solid pairs of black leggings in your arsenal, but in below-freezing temperatures, fleece-lined ones like these become essential. Layer underneath jeans or trousers when the big chill sets in, pop them under a skirt or dress in lieu of nylons or simply pair with a big tee and oversized cardigan for a day spent on the couch or running errands.

Classic plaid PJs get an ultra comfy upgrade in this cabin-ready set from NYC sleepwear brand Emerson Road. While the soft fleece exterior was enough to catch our attention, it's the sweet sherpa detailing on the collar, cuffs and pockets that adds an extra dose of warmth (and cuteness!) to an already adorable lounging uniform.

Oversized, ombre and oh-so-smooth, you can wrap this finge-hemmed scarf around your neck again and again without feeling any pesky itches from prickly fibres. It's also perfect for keeping at the office as a toasty shall you can slip on anytime the thermostat is acting up.

Who can resist a chunky knit this time of year? Add in the brilliant cobalt hue and the relaxed, roomy fit — letting you shove a ponytail or high bun under there without looking like a total conehead — and you've got a new winter staple that'll bounce beautifully off of your cold-weather basics.

We'd throw a whole sleepover party just for an excuse to wear this onesie. Apart from being covered in a cozy layer of sherpa, this long-sleeved dream features an adorable, pom-pom'd hood and a lengthy front-zip closure for slipping on and off with ease — which is helpful, since you'll probably want to wear it on repeat.

Earmuffs are the sliced bread of winter accessories because they do all the work of a tuque without turning your hair into a staticy, matted mess.
