Generally speaking, winters are not as frozen-over as they used to be — at least not in New York City. Whether you’re in a hot-and-humid climate or a more temperate place, it’s useful to have a flexible wardrobe that pulls quadruple seasonal duty (and pares back your wardrobe).
Organic cotton and linen items not only work well in winter with layers, but are better for the environment and your skin, so here are some styles that check all of the versatility and luxe quality boxes:
Carve Designs – 100% Organic Cotton
As a longtime fan of this sustainable, surf-inspired brand founded by two women in California, I appreciate that they use non-GMO, breathable fabrics that result in the softest clothing you’ll ever experience. Organic cotton uses less water than conventional cotton, results in healthier soil, and has no toxic chemicals. Crafted for women with real bodies and a passion for adventure and nature, here are some Carve Designs offerings:
The long-sleeved, ribbed knot Denise Turtleneck will segue you into fall, paired with a work jacket or jean jacket or sweater as the weather cools down.
I love the Tatum Double Gauze Shirt in Raspberry for a pop of cover in winter months, and it’s remarkably soft. It can also be worn under a jacket or sweater for a peek of hot pink.
The Sylvie Crop Flair Jeans in Blue Ridge will give a bit due to their cotton, are are cut to be as flattering as imaginable. These will take you through all seasons for all reasons, and can be dressed up or worn on a beach.
