this is the new hero piece of my winter wardrobe.
you know that time of year when all you want to wear is a giant blanket? it's that time of year.
that groundhog spoke too soon, obviously, because it's back to snow boots and parkas all week. the genius of the oversized cardigan wrap/coat is that it has all of the practical qualities of a Snuggie without any of the undignified qualities of...a Snuggie. i generally avoid buying knits from high street shops due to the predominance of acrylic in the fabric content, but every once in a while you can find a lovely and inexpensive piece like this one with mostly natural fibers. since i blinked and missed the Lemaire x Uniqlo capsule from last fall, this is a welcome discovery that evokes some of the same luxe minimalist vibe.
(Everlane also makes
a more tailored 100% chunky wool version, which you could definitely keep at the office as an all-purpose workwear knit.)
another added bonus of the oversized cardigan coat: depending on how you style it, it's practical and stylish for everyday. i'm a big fan of the casual, Row-esque look of the H&M version – perfect for cold-weather travel.
what have been your foundations lately?
