If you’re into the outdoors or live somewhere that’s cold a lot, you’re probably familiar with L.L. Bean. Going strong for more than a century, L.L. Bean has become a star player in all things cozy. Unlike many other retailers, L.L. Bean isn’t obsessed with offering you products for rock bottom prices; instead, the brand highlights durability, quality and timelessness. Looking for quiet luxury when it comes to your winter wardrobe? Look no further.

 

Though L.L. Bean goods can be pricey, they’re generally worth the splurge because they last for the long haul. That said, L.L. Bean does often have sales. GOBankingRates sifted through the site and found eight of the best items sold at L.L. Bean in January that are worth every penny; each is on sale

Women’s Fleece Jacket 

You’ll spend the full list price, $99, for this gorgeous fleece jacket, if you buy it in the colors gold, eggplant or teal.

One reviewer described this item as “trendy yet classic.”

Women’s Duck Boots 

Duck boots are a must in stormy weather. Their waterproof rubber soles will keep your feet totally dry as you march through puddles or mud. The Women’s Bar Harbor Duck Boots at L.L. Bean are on super sale, priced at $39.99, down from $139. They come in black, gray or tan. “Let it rain! Let it snow! These are perfect!,” wrote one happy customer in their review of this item.
