What do you wear to work when it's cold?

KScarlet

I'm having the most difficult time crafting a cold weather business casual wardrobe. Last winter (my first that required business casual) I wore flats with no socks all winter. I froze. This winter I'm hoping to be less cold. Today I'm wearing socks with flats, and I look and feel like the lamest person ever. I went shopping for boots, thinking I could wear boots underneath my dress pants, but I think the part of the boot that would stick out underneath the dress pants would look kind of awkward if you couldn't see the rest of the boot. Maybe I'm being weird?

I've thought it might be warmer to wear dresses and skirts with tights, but since I'm not actually sure that would be warmer I don't want to invest a lot in that theory and still be cold.

I kind of feel like there's some sort of fundamental piece of knowledge that comes with being a human that I'm missing here. How do I dress professionally and still be warm?

My fall/winter wardrobe consists of slacks, flat boots, heeled boots, or heels with socks (i really could care less), I'm either in a sweater or have a cardigan with me ALWAYS. I also tend to wear my scarf in the winter bc my office is NEVER warm.

I usually wear boots to work and then have my nice dry flats when I get into the office under my desk.

 I love pretty scarves, so I tend to do business casual pants, cardigans, and scarves.

I wear shoes likes these with pants in the winter at my work.

Tights, hose or dress socks are perfectly acceptable to wear with dress slacks. Boots are fine with dress pants.

I like to wear sweater dresses with leggings/tights and boots.
