If you’re in the area of the country that just had one massive winter storm and is now facing another, we feel for you. This time of year is one of the most difficult to dress for—and it’s not much consolation that life for some of us doesn’t require venturing outdoors as much as we once did.
We’re claiming it as a small comfort that a selection of items make weathering winter’s worst a little more bearable. Herein, a luxurious assortment of knitwear, a purpose-ready pair of winter gloves, a great cashmere overcoat and more cold-weather essentials. The best part? All of these items, made by some of menswear’s most vaunted names, are on sale.
