Everything You Need To Prepare Your 2022 Winter Wardrobe

You Can Never Have Enough Jackets
That’s right, you can never have too many jackets, but there are a few other must-haves you need in order to survive the cold snap. The tried-and-true puffer jacket has never failed, and thanks to modern innovations, you don’t have to purchase a gargantuan puffer that engulfs your whole body (and takes up half your closet). Slim it down with Patagonia’s more sustainable Nano Puff Jacket, or for a more elevated vibe, Edmund Hillary’s Piha Lightweight Jacket with Primaloft padding is for you.    

While technical jackets were engineered to ward off rain and brave the elements, they’re also having a major streetwear moment. Canadian outdoor heavyweights Arc’Teryx are leading the charge, with their Alpha SV and Beta AR jackets tapped as the must-have outerwear this season (don’t worry, the cost-per-wear will take care of itself!). Not keen on shelling out upwards of $1000 to get the look? Patagonia’s Isthmus Jacket is a more accessible alternative, and made using recycled nylon to boot.     

Secure Some Knitwear
The perfect knit is hard to come by, however they’re the most versatile addition to a cold weather ‘drobe when you find the one. Cover all of your bases and look for a cardigan, statement sweater and a sleeveless vest. Argyle never goes out of style, and Tommy Jeans do a nostalgic green, yellow and red check V-Neck Cardigan – perfect to throw on as a layering piece. If you prefer something a little more subtle, Assembly Label’s Farley Knit Cardigan is our pick. Statement knits worn oversized with denim is the outfit for coffee runs and running errands, and Andersson Bell’s Mondro Crew Neck Sweater does the job with ease. If you’ve been paying attention to your IG feed’s ‘fit pics, you’ll know sweater vests are a deceptively versatile weapon to have in your arsenal. Yep, sweater vests. They can be easily worn under slimline jackets, or layered over a long sleeve or t-shirt for crisp but sunny days. The Yianni Sweater Vest is made with Australian Merino Wool, and the ribbing exudes that minimalist Scandi vibe.
