Building a winter knitwear capsule: My 3 staples for the Scandinavian cold. What are yours?
Autumn is officially here in Scandinavia, which means sweater season is here :) This year, I’m trying something new and keeping things minimal.
I’m hoping to rely on just three main staple knits to get me through the rest of the fall and winter. My little rotation consists of a gray yak down vest, a beige brushed cashmere scarf, and a zipped yak down bomber in a rich brown. Obviously, I’ll still need my heavy winter coats over these, but I'm especially excited to use the vest as a seamless mid-layer. I don't know if I will be able to layer the bomber the exact same way, but on milder winter days, I'm hoping I can just wear it on its own without needing a heavy jacket. Scandinavian winters are notoriously difficult, so relying on such a small collection is a bit of an experiment for me - we shall see how it turns out!
I would love to hear how you are all approaching your own wardrobes as it gets colder. What knitwear staples are you hoping will get you through the season? I'm so curious to hear what they are made of, what color palettes you love, and how you plan to style them. Looking forward to reading your stories!
