Knits You Can’t Do Without This Winter

allsaints-winter-2011-7

Just because it’s colder outside now than any time of the year does not mean you can’t be cozy. This time of year was made for good food, roasting fires ablaze on solid hearths and nostalgic narratives from best buds. That means staying inside on your days off where it’s warm, flipping on a favorite TV show, lounging on your favorite couch in a warm room. Sometimes, no other dandily-clad niche will do. In times like these, you can’t do it any better than with a few cozy casuals. From head to toe, we have literally got you covered with a few popular knits appropriate for times of prim tidings and dreamy whims.

Perhaps the most important piece to have on you, and for an obvious reason, beanies have never gone out of style. This cold weather accessory comes in a thousand styles, and even though sometimes it can be easier to put one on that fits the rest of your daily wardrobe, sometimes a simple one-shaded cover is enough for the outdoors. We all have those days when it pays to not overthink these things and be effortless.

The knit sweater is the perfect flare-up starting in fall, and lasting long through the winter months. Darker colors and whites being much more popular than others, namely its bright and brazen brothers, this wintry assemblage will have you fitting in everywhere you go, be it at home, the mall, or on the streets.

Afraid of going for a look that is too simple? That’s fine. Sometimes a fashionable scarf can add a little sophistication to your selection. Any scarf with a nice-looking pattern can work wonders for you, especially if it follows these two rules: First, it matches its surroundings. Basically anything goes as long as colors evenly blend with cardigans, shirts or jackets, and do not clash. Unless that’s your style. Also, be careful of size. Make sure it is not too big or too small. The right fit is important, as it does not make a whole lot of sense to wear something that doesn’t fit. You don’t regularly do it with other articles of clothing, and the scarf is more obvious to the eye.

Whether you are planning on staying home during these winter months, or getting out and about, travelling cross-country or taking to a short shopping spree, you will find new things in new markets trending everywhere. There are as many styles as there are colors.
