- HEY, HERITAGE: Today’s tweeds are a far cry from the coarse iterations of the 1800s. Look to brands like Magee that combines its Donegal heritage with luxury yarns for a softly woven handle.
- WEATHER PERMITTING: Look to high-functioning fashion pieces like wax utility jackets to do double duty. We love the latest collaboration between Jack Murphy and designer Deborah Veale, available in olive, navy and blackwatch.
- GET THE BOOT: Weather-worthy boots have officially found their fashion footing. Look to wider shafts and tractor soles with clever details like seep-proof shaft and protective toggles.
- LAYER UP: Exercise climate control with a trans-seasonal cardigan or overshirt: both make a fitting companion for a dress or t-shirt and jeans pairing.
