Slate gray skies, dropping temperatures, and icy evenings — welcome to the early stages of winter. Soon enough, the cold will be here to stay and early morning commutes will consist of impromptu ice skating along the sidewalks. And as refreshing as some may think this may be from the dog days of summer just three months earlier, now’s the time to prepare for what’s to come the best way you can — with the right gear.
That’s where signature staples like the bomber jacket, duck boots, and beanies come in handy. Of course, there are key stylish elements to consider in conjunction with the function we find blended so seamlessly into such premium products. Sounds strategic, right? Well, just have a look at the following roundup and see what we mean.
