From slope-side cabin to the everyday grind: Fair Isle patterns have made quite a transition this season. They’ve never been more stylish or appealing, and have shown up on everything from work-appropriate cardigans to sweet sweater dresses. This comfy wrap cardigan is a great choice for downtime. It adds a shot of color to subdued winter wear and is so soft, you’ll want to wear it all day long.
If you’re seeking a cute alternative to your usual winter hats, consider a cloche. Decidedly 1920s-esque, but freshly updated with a very modern oversize flower embellishment, this one keeps wayward strands in place and maintains a sleek silhouette at the same time. It’s a sophisticated alternative to bulky knits, and just as sweet. Also in camel.
If this is, indeed, the most wonderful time of the year, then it needs a new pair of shoes to see us through in equal splendor. These glamorous Nine West heels do the job nicely, combining the effortless grace of sleek black satin with the slightly old Hollywood-inspired beauty of a sculpted rosette at the peep toe. Show off a dazzling pedicure, slip into your best party wear and do those shoes proud!
