winter apparel

Garments for snow

Winter apparel is clothing designed for cold weather—coats, sweaters, scarves, gloves, hats, and boots.

The term appears most often in retail contexts: The store's winter apparel section expands in October.

Apparel gives the phrase a slightly formal or commercial tone compared to "winter clothes."
