Winter fashion has a reputation for being bulky, boring, and beige. It doesn’t have to be.
The Power of Layering
Thin layers are warmer than one thick layer. Start with a silk or merino base layer, add a cashmere sweater, and top with a wool coat. Three thin layers trap heat better than one bulky jacket — and you can remove them as needed.
Fabric Matters
Cotton kills in winter — it absorbs moisture and stays wet against your skin. Wool, cashmere, and silk wick moisture and insulate even when damp. Invest in natural fibers for anything that touches your skin.
The Statement Coat
Your coat is your outfit for four months of the year. Make it count. A burgundy wool coat or a camel cashmere wrap coat elevates jeans and boots to a deliberate look. This is where your winter budget should go.
