Just because the temperature is dropping and the snow is falling, is no reason to let your style diminish. The array of sweater choices is endless – choose a bright color, or a luxe fiber, or a fanciful pattern, or embellishment with bling. Staying warm doesn’t have to be boring.

Keep a selection of cardigans in your wardrobe, to add a layer of warmth with a layer of style. Those same cardigans will double as outerwear for tropical vacations, whether this means beachfront evening breezes or windy nights on a cruise ship, and to ward off summer time air conditioning chills. The right cardigan can pull together an entire outfit – so go ahead and acquire some with prints, fabric panels, embroidery and applique.

Don’t forget the newest selection of wafer thin, thermal shirts, now available high-end, low-end and at every venue in between, to wear beneath your layered sweaters for guaranteed cozy warmth on the frostiest of days and nights.
