Or perhaps you reach for a fuzzy mohair cardigan from Needles before topping it off with a tailored shearling coat produced by Sid Mashburn. We could keep naming examples, or you can find all those pieces and more insulating possibilities in the picks below.

Needles Zigzag Mohair Cardigan Yellow
Image Credit: Couverture and the Garbstore Speaking of Charlie Brown, we can imagine the hapless blockhead looking a bit chicer if he traded in his trademark shirt for this mohair Needles cardigan marked by a zig zag stripe pattern. A simple white tee and wine-colored cords below might be the way to go.

Private White V.C. x Hamilton + Hare Cotton Cashmere Boxer Short 3 Pack
Image Credit: Private White V.C. It seems like cashmere is everywhere these days. But it took a partnership between Private White V.C. and British basics maker Hamilton + Hare to put it where it’s been sorely needed all this time—in underwear. Or more specifically, these cashmere cotton boxer shorts finished with natural corozo buttons and sold as a three-pack.

Raleigh Denim Workshop Drawstring Pant Heavy Chambray
Image Credit: Raleigh Denim Workshop The first thing that stands out about these Raleigh Denim Workshop drawstring pants is the heavyweight chambray fabric used to make them.

Ami Belted Long Coat

Engineered Garments Deck Jacket
Image Credit: Engineered Garments Deck Jacket What sticks out most about this naval-inspired jacket from Engineered Garments—aside from its uncharacteristically moderate number of pockets—are the metal toggles used to close it. Thanks to the piece’s otherwise pared-back design, that hardware should make a big visual impact on even the simplest of ensembles.

Clarks x Ronnie Fieg Lockhill Ink Suede
Image Credit: Clarks x Ronnie Fieg Lockhill Ink Suede Clarks tapped Kith founder Ronnie Fieg to design a collection of sneakers inspired by the style of 1990s New York. Which is to say that, yes, we can totally envision Jerry or George rocking these retro suede sneakers before an ill-fated first date.

This wool-cashmere blazer cardigan from Polo Ralph Lauren splits the difference beautifully and is finished with gold-tone buttons in a 2×4 double-breasted stance.
