The Puffer

No other piece of outerwear works harder than a puffer. They’re lightweight and easy to layer on over your outfit for extra warmth. Convertible styles will give you plenty of styling options while a bold color or pattern will help you stand out on even the darkest winter day.

The Cool Cardi

When you feel that first cool breeze, reach for a cardi. Layer one over a tank or a tee during that transitional time of the season when you don’t really need a jacket but you still need something to beat the slight chill. Cable knits, embellishments, embroidery and exaggerated lengths all give the cool cardi it’s street cred.

The Shacket

Part jacket and part shirt, it’s thicker than your typical shirt and thinner than a heavy coat. The versatile shacket can be worn in many different ways. Layer it on over a tank, cami, tee or a turtleneck. You could even wear it under your coat for that extra cozy feeling.
