Winter Wear 2026

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean we can’t be fashion-forward as we deal with the elements. Our local retailers have ideas galore for keeping you comfy — from head to toe — while making a striking statement. Being warm and cozy is all about layers and textures, with both traditional materials such as wool and cashmere and new tech insulation having their place in the mix. Bring it on, Winter!
