Want to deck more than just the halls this year? Here are some of our favorite accessories to set up both your workspace and wardrobe for a cozy and chic winter season.
Let’s face it: when the weather outside is less than inviting, it can be hard to bring good tidings if you haven’t had your morning cup of caffeine. Ember’s smart mug doesn’t just keep your coffee, tea, or cocoa hot—it keeps it at your exact preferred temperature, for up to 90 minutes straight. Continue keeping the chill out of the air with Boldr’s Kelvin, a smart electric heater designed to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing on comfort. If you really want to add some style while also fending off winter colds and viruses, add a Rabbit Air ultra quiet air purifier to the mix.
Now that you’ve got your office geared up for winter, it’s time to equip your closet to face the harsher weather. Swap out your sneakers and suede for lined rubber-soled loafers (like Thom Browne’s duck shoe) and quilted ankle boots (such as Dior’s Frozen-D ankle boot) and grab a weather-resistant, military-inspired waxed leather briefcase like Satchel & Page’s Aviator Brief. Take a cue from the Scots and their knowledge of surviving cold, wet, and dark winter nights and wrap up in an oversized overcoat like the Balmaccaan wool coat from Johnstons of Elgin. Alpine-based brands also do cold weather gear well, too, and Moncler’s wool blend cape is another great top layer. Finally, keep any snowflakes between big meetings at bay with a travel-friendly scarf like Hermès’ “just in case” muffler and a luxurious cashmere hat such as Loro Piana’s winter story beanie in acorn melange.
