I know, I know—there’s fundamentally nothing hot about being cold. But indulge me for a moment, because winter is actually my favorite time of year, especially when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. After all, when you wake up shivering under three duvets because you live in Los Angeles and aren’t fully sure your 1920s apartment’s ancient furnace is safe to turn on (just me?), you learn to love layers and all things cozy.
I realize this is probably just as laughable to my colleagues in NYC as the time they visited L.A. and saw me show up to happy hour in a full-on winter coat when it was almost 70º outside, but I can’t help it if I like being warm! I have thus been delighted by all the cozy new trends rolling out for the season ahead: Think thick cable-knits, ’70s-style capes (they’ve been all over the runways!), shearling-trimmed jackets, and thick quilted jackets.
In a bid to get ahead of the new season and spend smartly (if you ask me, wardrobe-wise, there’s nothing worth investing in more than a quality winter coat that will last for seasons!), I started filling up my cart at LuisaViaRoma…
