Winter Fashions I’m Monitoring

Have seen an Instagram reel: it’s finally winter when the girlies dress like football(soccer) managers. And yes, that’s the vibe. We’re staying warm, occasionally yelling at the referee and cannot lose hope even if a game goes badly.
I found these bags charms interesting !
Ha ha this is totally me. I’ve been pairing my long wool camel coat with joggers and tennies so it won’t look quite so serious.
Let’s bring back the pink pussy beanies!!
I have no use for coats that don’t clear my rear end. From rain jackets to puffy vests to my 2 winter coats – all of them at least cover my bum and the winter coats hit mid calf. Life is too short for a cold butt.
This!!!
I bought a trench coat from Madewell and I live in LA where it is not necessary but I love it!
Love winter looks! Still summer where I am and I have to say I always look forward to
Winter clothes as I just love coats!
My version of the triangle scarf is a large silk square folded, and worn the other way around. Point in the back, loosely tied in front. Large enough that it still keeps your neck warm with your coat on. Flattering over sweaters when you take the coat off.
anybody have a suggestion for ~cute~ warm slippers? i don’t quite know what i’m looking for, but something that feels more…elevated? than glerups, but still warm and comfy. i have no clue if what i’m looking for exists.
Perhaps check out Freedom Moses slippers?

I got the fluffy Boston clogs from Birkenstock at the start of the pandemic to have as slippers. Never looked back! 5 years on, still going strong!
Oooh Freedom Moses looks like what I’ve been searching for! Thank you!!
I have a pair of Laurentian chief moccasins that I’ve had for more than 10 years and I love them – not cheap but both cozy, sturdy, and beautiful. The website doesn’t say one way or the other but according to the internet they are an Indigenous owned business: https://laurentianchief.com/en/?srsltid=AfmBOooz0J2YCr5K5XD-ydE_8W5meimLuvxqUSzNnnwnSUiUATmNqni9
Annd then I found another post that said Laurentian chief employs some Indigenous artisans but they aren’t Indigenous owned, sigh. So maybe not? The fact they don’t say on their website makes me lean that way 🧐. So maybe, just search out a local maker in your area.
The Moses slides look ahmazing! I live in NC and live in sandals in the summer, these look perfect.
So many colors!
Check out Luvons!

I got my triangle scarf from Free People and LOVE it. It’s blue w/ a fun green stripe. I’m looking for a bright red one though – no stripe. Just red. Any one have good leads? Under $50 preferable.
perfect Andreea!! Thank you! CoJ comments section to the rescue
Aesthetically, I love a long serious coat (currently eyeing a Windsor Heritage Mac at Boden), but as a v. v. relaxed northern californian, I just can’t imagine it in the rotation. It’s for my other, parallel universe life in London.
Same with me and a trench!! Here in NC, it just doesn’t work. Our fall and spring are too warm for it and aesthetically we are too laid back for it.
BUT last winter I started traveling to Toronto every other week. I needed a trench for the chill and rain in the early spring! I bought one from Sezane and took it on ONE trip, and while it was amazing while there, it was really annoying to travel on the plane with. And then I quit that job so no more cool rainy city traveling.
Oh well! At least I feel a bit smug to have the trench in my closet. No regrets.
“This is immaculate” is 100% the vibe when I pulled one of those rainbow Gap Kids sweaters from 2004, in mint condition. I used to sell them, in high school, and now my daughter has one of their own — cue “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne!
My actual favourite winter fashion trend though is a summer top/dress layered over a turtleneck, with my reversible faux fur/suede vest. Too much? I don’t care 😜
Oh, I absolutely remember that sweater. Score for your daughter!! And the outfit? What I’m picturing feels a bit, what we used to call, “boho”. I understand that’s still scary term for some, but I, also, don’t care, ha!
Kate! I am here for your outfit and for that sweater! What a find!
My husband picked out a Farm Rio rain jacket for me that is super long and it’s vibrant pattern is the best for livening up gloomy rainy days!
I do not get the triangle scarf fad. I think the triangle scarf is a niche look to pull off, and unless you can pull off country or tuxedo glam, instead frumpy old 80s vibes it will be.
I love a good frumpy old 80s vibe
I don’t think it’s frumpy at all! I think it’s kind of chic in a Parisian way :) Or like Betty Draper!
Hard disagree, triangle scarves seem ‘Seattle in the 90’s’ vibe, which to me is the height of cool.
Or, yes, Parisian.
Tho I don’t mind a frumpy 80,s vibe either.
I am so curious – can you link me to Seattle 90s look. I googled but did not get any triangle scarves… Lots of flannelettes shirts and striped t-shirt (ah nirvana)… I do think the triangle scarf can look cool, but the way I am seeing on people like Jamie Beck is just so blah…. she’s usually so stylish. But the best thing is who cares what people think, we all have our own flare. I love a scarf, but the triangle one is something I haven’t worked out how to wrangle on me. I think if you have big boobs it is harder to pull off. – you know now I am totally wanting to pull out all my scarves (seriously I have trillions because I kept all of my Nans and my mums and I buy them for myself – it is a problem!) and work out how to do the triangle! If anyone cares to post links to it being done well I am up for the challenge. I like having my mind changed….
I don’t get it either, but I don’t think it looks frumpy, it just looks like nothing to me? But obviously everyone should do what feels fun to them. I will be ta team blanket scarf forever.
These triangle scarfs are definitely tempting me…..
More to Love
