Getting dressed in December is a lot to think about. Come January—a.k.a. today—things get a hell of a lot easier. If you’re like most humans, your workout routine will probably have a little more structure this month, and work will pick up while social events will slow down, so your wardrobe will get turned down about ten notches. For the rest of winter, utility and warmth are going to play a huge part in what you decide to put on.

Kanye West, most stylish man of the year, is of course, already on that beat. His 5-layer workout outfit is the stuff of January style dreams. It’s warm, functional, and still undeniably cool. Instead of reaching for a basic parka and sweats, West layered a thick hoodie under a bright fleece and a pair of compression tights under long shorts. These power combos make the typical workout uniform about a million times more interesting, while also giving you the ability to modify your outfit as your workout heats up. You’ll notice West is also wearing his own black sneakers and a basic cotton T-shirt—there are some workout standards that don’t need to be messed with.
