Style and substance: Soia & Kyo wool coat, Manitobah Mukluks, American Apparel ear muffs and Fossil arm warmers
Soia & Kyo Katrina-C Coat
Rule #1: White puffy jackets and Starbucks gingerbread lattes do not mix. Unless you’re going for the Michelin Man look, avoid the glammed up shiny Moncler numbers that are cropping up everywhere and opt for a professional wool coat with asymetrical tailoring. If you must do down, try out Soia & Kyo’s plaid-print version.
Manitobah Mukluks
You can wear fashion boots and freeze your toes or Sorels and sacrifice your style (unless backcountry boots are your thing). Or you can try on a pair of these shearling-lined mukluks, which are handmade in Winnipeg. The company is owned by Métis entrepreneur Sean McCormick and carried at clothing boutiques like Gravity Pope.
Fossil Arm Warmers
The leg warmer should never find its way into office attire – unless you work at a skating rink – but the arm warmer is an indispensable accessory to help prevent winter-induced carpal tunnel.
American Apparel Ear Muffs
When you pop into American Apparel to stock up on tights, you can now also pick up a pair of ear muffs and transport yourself back to Grade 5. For a higher end look, go with Michael Kors version. C’mon, they’re cute. U
