From ski jackets and snow pants to base layers and fleece-lined jeans, we found all types of garments that will keep you warm when temperatures drop. While most of the brands run up to a 3X or 4X, we found some options that go up to a 6X, to keep you feeling comfortable and cool whether youre hitting the slopes or talking your dog for a walk. 

For every brand we selected we pulled a piece we love, though we gave you the link to the whole store so you can see everything they have.
