It looks rich for a mix look and cable or cashmere sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadian-winter-minimal-stripes#post-2349926 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 18:15:49 +0000 rachylou 2349926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your browns are inspiring!

It's not all or nothing and it would difficult to pull&nbsp;off&nbsp;local/sustainable/premium for all of our basics and essentials. As a practical matter it just makes sense that there are great Canadian options for coats and boots! And I've learned that investing in those areas (both effort and money) pays off since winter is so dominant.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadian-winter-minimal-stripes#post-2349846 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 17:50:23 +0000 April 2349846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the neutral palette and the pieces themselves!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadian-winter-minimal-stripes#post-2349845 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 17:16:25 +0000 Suz 2349845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be the new version of hi-low dressing: carefully and mindfully chosen higher end pieces made by local companies, with a few faster fashion items chosen to meet the budget and size/ availability requirements.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe it doesn't have to be all or nothing, right? ALL buy less/ buy better (i.e. more expensive) or ALL fast fashion (which in my own closet, at least, carefully chosen, tends to have longevity beyond what anyone might predict.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I love this outfit for you. The parka is amazing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadian-winter-minimal-stripes#post-2349842 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 16:50:40 +0000 Jules 2349842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have fallen into this pattern of dressing quite naturally of late. Deep winter isn't the most practical for complicated outfit creation and accessorizing. Despite the simplicity, I am thrilled with my new Rudsak puffer now that it's finally cold enough to wear regularly; my made in Canada Martino boots; my&nbsp; Montreal boutique socks that I started ordering during Covid as a pick-me-up; a quality striped tee from local brand Wear Franc; and some faster-fashion essentials from Muji, Zara, and GAP.<br />Yesterday: Zara cargo joggers, yellow MUJI sweater, striped socks, Boston clogs worn at office to show off the socks ;)<br />Today: GAP chocolate cords and brown boyfriend cardi, striped Wear Franc Tee, Martino boots </p>
