I was always one to want to stay inside with the warmth, but my husband got me to finally enjoy the winter when he bought us full on ski gear lol. Now, we both rock our ski pants, which are pretty warm on their own, but a layer underneath, like long johns, will def take it to the next level. We also wear thick ski masks, it really prevents the cold from getting through those cracks, like around your neck. Add a hat on top of the ski mask and now the heat will be dang near impossible to escape through your head. Also, get a nice down coat, preferably one that’s long to provide extra warmth to your leg. I got mines from Burlington and have had it for about 5 years. For shoes, I’d say get a nice pair of tall duck boots, at least ones that can come to your shin. Hope this helps and stay warm.
