Looks We Love for Cozy Days & Nights (blog post)

Winter is coming.

Temperatures are dropping, so it’s time to stock your closet with thick, cozy fashion pieces in sustainable fabrics like merino wool, organic cotton, silky soft modal, and responsibly sourced down. As we head toward winter, the word of the moment is “layering.” Pile on plenty of layers in luxurious fabrics so you can stay comfortable whether you’re spending time inside or out.

Just because it’s colder doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your sense of style. The beauty of these looks is that they can adjust to a variety of situations with just a quick shoe change or accessory swap. Versatile dresses can be dressed up or down with heels or flat boots, organic-cotton jeans can be worn on date nights with a graceful, symmetrical top and fancy heeled boots, and a fabulous coat is always in season. So go ahead, add your own flair to these fall pieces, and integrate them easily into your existing wardrobe for a look that’s 100 percent your own.

Here are our top picks to get you through the coming winter:
