What We’re Wearing: Back to Work
The holidays are over, it’s a new year and we’re all refreshed and ready to hunker down and get to work, right? Well, that's our story and we're sticking to it. In any case, the dawn of a new year is a great time to take stock of your wardrobe and resolve to switch things up. One thing is for sure: We've still got plenty of winter left, so indulge in some cozy, tactile pieces that layer well, keep you warm, and look fresh as hell. Pull a Fair Isle sweater vest over a denim shirt and pair them with some relaxed corduroy trousers that are as comfortable as your favorite jeans. Ground the look with some sleek, shearling-lined boots and finish things off with luxe cold-weather accessories and a minimal, yet adaptable, tote bag.

In 2023, big shoe makers rereleased old designs. Sambas and Air Jordans were everywhere, but sales overall stagnated.”

What I tend to do is dip into my saved images—using it more like a filtered feed—and then organize my outfits that come out of it.”
