5 essential clothes to be prepared for the first cold days of the season

It seems incredible when we hear the phrase “it’s time to dust off the coats” but, to tell the truth, this practice is not far from reality. Many of the garments we use in summer are made of lightweight textiles, contrary to the winter garments made, precisely, with cozy materials that keep body temperature regulated. Every year classic pieces like the knit sweater, the quilted jacket and the coats are renewed and reinterpreted with improved designs; full of applications, in combination of different prints or, simply, dye the trend colors.

These basics of the fresh season are the “best-sellers” of many international brands because, as consumers, we bet on the quality of the materials to make us a purchase that will last us more than one season. Knowing how to choose this type of garment is essential to take advantage of them and to attach them to our wardrobe.

We analyzed 5 garments that apart from basic are a classic for autumn-winter and, therefore, we must have in our closet.

KNITTED SWEATER

The knit sweater is found all the time. The fabric in the shape of 8 is a classic of classics and, for this season, the update of this garment is based on the size of the design and also on the color. A neon sweater gives the upgrade to your outfit and completely eradicates the “boring” label on this garment.

CORDUROY PANTS

Sandro FW 18

Every autumn all the corduroy clothes are reborn from the wardrobe thanks to how cozy they are to combat the low temperatures. For FW 18 many brands redesign the garments in different formats: like the carrot cut pants and biker jackets with multiple closures and applications.

RUGBY SHIRT

A simple and elegant way to welcome the “cold front” is by wearing a classic rugby shirt. This cotton shirt was imposed by the high profile athletes of the Ivy League elite in the early 70s and brands like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Scappino have fallen prey to preppy charm, so much so that we can always buy a revamped version of this garment in any of this stores.

WOOL BLAZER

The blazer all the year accompanies us, either in the office or in events that require a dose of formality. For the summer we look for textiles such as linen and piqué but for the winter this garment can also wrap us a bit more. The wool blazer will always be a good idea to protect us from the cold and look elegant at the same time.

PUFFER VEST
