As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, “I’m wearing my Smartwool shirt right now as I write. To say I live in them would not be an exaggeration. It wicks moisture, and stays comfortable, especially when there’s a chill in the air.”

‘Oprah‘s Favorite Things’ list is a must-have holiday shopping guide that features the most ingenious gadgets, fashionable sustainable goods, decadent desserts and the finest finds in home, fashion, and beauty. For 30 years, the iconic gifting list has showcased must-give gifts for the holidays, often serving as a launch pad for small businesses and highlighting the inspiring stories of the owners behind the products. 

Smartwool’s Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer Crew is the brand’s go-to cold-weather layer, made from 100% merino wool in a midweight 250 g/m² knit. Merino naturally helps regulate body temperature, manages moisture and resists odor, so the Classic Thermal Crew keeps you comfortable from a bluebird powder day to a frosty morning walk. Flatlock seams minimize chafing, and a slim, layer-friendly fit slides easily under a sweater, fleece or ski jacket. Recently updated with a refined fit and fresh colors, the Classic Thermal Crew is available in men’s and women’s styles for $125.
