It’s February but we aren’t totally convinced; Mother Nature can’t seem to decide between icy winds or sunny temperatures and those weather forecasts? Forget about them!

Just because the weather seems so indecisive, doesn’t mean you have to be. The key to winning in this weather is careful planning; you can often get away with a few great items and build around them to create outfits even Mother Nature would approve.

Here are two options built around a warm layer-friendly sweater that’ll have you ready, rain or shine.
