Sienna Miller bundled up for the Season
It’s that time of year again… winter is sneaking up on us quickly and before we know it, it will be on our doorsteps.
Now is the time to start thinking about how you will be “cold weather ready“. Here are are a few tips to help you get through the season while still looking chic and stylish.
Underlayers are key in the Northeast. You should never under estimate the extra layer of simple long sleeve tees and turtlenecks. Splendid is a shop favorite which is why we keep stocked up starting in September and don’t stop until March. An easy cotton/modal blend underlayer can also add a pop of color under a loose woven knit or under the new selection of cropped sweaters.
Sweaters. The obvious cashmere, wool, angora and mohair sweaters, vests and wraps. Autumn Cashmere, Edun, Joie, Oonagh and more. And let’s not forget cotton fleece and sweatshirts from our other favorites- Kain Label, Monrow and LNA.
Tights and Leggings. We can’t live without the Fleece Lined Tights from Plush. Each year they come up with another great color or style and they are true must-haves. This year we are loving the addition of the leg warmers from them – Simple, easy ways to layer your legs for those cold walks to the coffee shop. We also love Commando’s opaque tights for layering too.
Warm Accessories. Scarves from Me & Kashmiere are a done deal – all year long. We love the all wrapped up under our coat collars for a gorgeous pop of color. Carolina Amato and Autumn Cashmere have upped the gloves this year with the classic pop-top and fingerless options. They also both did scarves with Autumn Cashmere stealing our hearts with the new neck warmers and tube scarves - Genius! And don’t forget your skull cap or snood. A hat is a must. I wear one everyday – even indoors sometimes and always will. The snoods are my fav- slouchy and cute with my long hair.
