Rock that frigid commute with sales from The North Face and Uniqlo
In August, everyone is excited for cold weather so that they can flex their oversized sweaters and fancy combat boots. In recent years, this phenomenon has been called "dressing."

Everyone then regrets their wish for cold weather when 50 degrees drops to 25 degrees and "dressing" turns to resorting to your ol' reliable five-year-old puffer coat and ruining your Dr. Martens in the slush.
Make 2020 the year you actually feel good in your cold-weather wardrobe: The North Face, Uniqlo, and Hunter Boots are all in the midst of their winter sales, offering up to 50% off parkas, waterproof boots, heat-producing leggings and denim, and more.

The North Face — Save up to 30%
Planning wintery trips is fun until you realize you don't have the proper attire to do anything but hide out in the ski lodge. Coincidentally, it feels like the same type of extreme weather clothing is needed for windy walks to work. The North Face's season sale features cold weather classics like up to $100 off men's and women's down parkas, $30 off fuzzy zip-ups, and $20 off convertible pants, plus accessories like the iconic Talus camping tent for $75 off. The full sale section is basically endless scrolling, so suit up.
Hunter Boots — Save up to 50%
You can't step one foot onto a college campus without seeing a pair of Hunter boots, and that's pretty sound evidence that these handmade waterproof boots can be relied on through all weather conditions. (College students don't just spend that previous $100-something willy-nilly.) Hunter's winter sale features women's deals like $75 off the popular Tall Gloss Rain Boots and men's deals like $87 off the Original Moc Toe Short Rain Boots.
Uniqlo — save up to 50%
Layering sucks. Sure, you can't move your arms and you're sweating by the time you get inside — but the real bummer is the way that bundling up hinders your creativity when styling an outfit. Unless you're shopping at Uniqlo, that is: These modern staple pieces make mix-and-match layering easy, and the Heattech collection makes layering easy with special fabric that generates heat just by wearing it. Uniqlo's winter sale features the brand's lowest prices of the season, including $30 off men's Heattech jeans and $5 (15%) off women's Heattech turtlenecks.
