Winter wear is all about mastering the art of picking well-made, staple pieces that, put together, form a perfect combination of warmth and style. Here is our layering guide.
URBAN STROLL
1. Winter coat
Insulated with ethically sourced down, Paige offers lightweight warmth and a fitted yet relaxed silhouette.
2. Sweater
Katrina is made of soft, warm and naturally breathable alpaca wool. The half-zip collar adds versatility — wear it open for a relaxed feel or zipped for extra warmth.
3· Lightweight jacket
It’s a particularly cold day down to -30? Slip a lightweight layer under your coat, like the insulated jacket Adele or the quilted collarless Virginia.
4· Accessories
Knit in a plush wool blend, Nola headband adds a subtle pop of color while keeping ears warm. Soft, minimalist, and easy to pair.
Why it works: Navy and ivory create a timeless palette, while the baby-blue accent adds freshness. Each piece balances warmth and texture — ideal for a crisp city walk or weekend coffee run.
MOUNTAIN BOUND

With multiple pockets for storage and down insulation, Compass combines technical performance with minimalist design.

3. Lightweight jacket
Very cold day? Throw in the Nathan overshirt, that you can leave on when indoors for a touch of cool.
