Nothing welcomes winter and the holiday season like a cozy sweater. This winter it’s all about the sweater!
Its the one item that never goes out of style. A sweater in a layered look is essential for our cold climate. A colorful chenille says you are in for a cozy night at home, while a rich berry wool says its holiday party time!
Wear your “ugly holiday sweater to work” days are more exciting if you put a little thought into it. Of course, you can always head to Ragstock. But if you want to up your game, Nordstrom has just the look to impress your co-workers at this year’s party.
Men – pay attention; this is for you too! There is nothing like a “sharp dressed man” in a sweater (Wait, isn’t that a ZZ Top song?!?). What I’m trying to say, is that a man dressed in a sleek sweater worn alone or with a dress shirt popped under it, looks fabulous!
St. Croix men’s sweaters are handcrafted in the USA. If you are going to grab one sweater and wear it for years, this is the one to get.
The embellished sleeve adds a fresh look to a black sweater. I love black, as it goes with everything… even dark navy.
Shopping is easy with such a wide variety of styles and price points out there to choose from.
Have you noticed the ribbed turtleneck is back too? I know, heavy sigh… Here’s the thing, the old ribbed turtleneck sweaters of yesterday were constructed of a heavy cotton fabric that was stiff, especially after a few washings. The natural non-synthetic fabrics of today are mostly made of pima cottons, rayon, and modal (which is made from bamboo). These sweaters claim top spot with their superior softness.
Wrapping yourself in a beautiful cashmere poncho isn’t a bad choice with a cool cropped wool pant.
Let’s be realistic; it gets darn cold in Minnesota in the winter! Go buy yourself a couple nice sweaters to keep warm and enjoy the season! Happy Holidays!
