This week, temperatures in New York dropped into the 30s for the first time, and with it being dark by 5 p.m., I'm still in denial that fall is slipping away. Winter dressing can get a bad reputation, and honestly, I'm usually the first to complain about it. This time of year can make getting dressed feel more like a tactical strategy than having style. Cold-weather outfits are all about being intentional with layers and accessories.
Every month, I look through the edits at Saks Fifth Avenue, and for November, I found myself drawn to the sweaters, coats, and accessories. In an effort to stay chic and warm, I'm eyeing Loulou de Saison's Anzor Cashmere V-Neck Boxy Sweater, Dôen's Petra Knit Cardigan, Saks Fifth Avenue Collection's Cashmere-Lined Leather Gloves, and a pair of my former high school favorite shoes: Uggs.
From coats to cashmere to cable knits, here's everything worth adding to your Saks Fifth Avenue cart this winter.
