For temperatures ranging between 5 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, it doesn’t seem too terribly cold to me, but then I am a transplanted desert rat and I bundle up anytime below 70 degrees…
This is a version of my everyday errand-running look. When timeliness is more important that the perfect knot in my neckwear. It is also one of many developing trends for managing the most difficult measurement of clothing for me: short sleeve length. Thrifting for my wardrobe have proven this to be the most difficult aspect of clothing for me. I wear a sleeve length of 36/37. Most off-the-rack stuff stops at 34/35. The same goes with jackets and coats. I have had good forunate with sportcoat of a proper sleeve length, but I have been working through solutions about overcoats…
This is one option: I wear the jacket or coat with something of long sleeves underneath. To me, it results in a similar but overstated form of the shirt cuff peaking out from a suit jacket. Here, the over sized cotton sweater oozes out everywhere. I lvoe the sweater; it has proven to be hugely versatile. It is one of those can’t-live-without wardrobe items. If I had to take my wardrobe down to fifty pieces (*gasp*) it would easily be in my top ten.
The ragwool hat and scarf are my favorite everyday choice, although I have a growing pile of scarves and mufflers from which to choose when dressing it up for a night. I have rag-wool gloves as well, but here I wanted contrast against the sweater cuffs…
Stay warm and look fabulous doing it!
