What’s soft to the touch is just as soft to wear. This boa fleece cardigan is about as close as you can get to wearing a stuffed animal. Comfy fleece extends into the insides of the pockets, while the cuffs have stretchy binding to keep out the cold. This cardigan is more than simply light and soft. Combine with a pair of red mittens to get into the holiday spirit.

The word knits encompasses a dazzling variety of materials, many of which can be worn all year long. Though if you’re like most of us, your closet is probably stocked with heavier knits just waiting for cold weather. This polo is a fun counterpoint to a knit minidress, while a fuzzy Fair Isle sweater goes great with cashmere gloves. The washable ribbed knit easy pants are sure to become an everyday favorite.

Fleeces are a perfect midlayer for the start of fall. On cold days, toss on a down jacket that holds in warmth with a zipper placket that keeps out the wind and rain. For some, practicality is paramount in clothing. Casual settings call for sweatshirts, warm trousers with side seam pockets, and pocketable items. It’s all about the functionality, although it certainly is cool when this tendency gives shape to a consistent style.

Meanwhile, some people are devoted to bringing out their clothing’s character. A lambswool cardigan or Scottish tartan item that continues to get better with age can be paired with a tidy pair of straight-legged fleece trousers in a modern relaxed style. Inject a little colour here and there with a modern gradient knit or a colourful beanie.

Kids are known to be so focused on playing, they even forget it’s cold outside. This calls for stretchy sweatshirts, fleece-lined trousers and washable vests. All parents can do is give their kids the proper clothes. What kind of adults will they grow up to be?
