What’s New: Cashmere from Toscano, Oats, Company of We, and Michael Kors
Toscano vneck cashmere sweaters $275.
Fashion has had an unprecedented love affair with wild life since man first walked the earth. However, over the years one thing we have realized is that when referencing luxury fashion not all wild life is created equal. For instance, you have regular goats that wander aimlessly eating everything in site and then you have, a cashmere goat (they probably eat everything too, but they are cashmere so we don’t judge). The name cashmere is derived from an old spelling of Kashmir, a now disputed region of India.
Oats Cashmere sweaters $295.
Cashmere is a fine textured fabric that is light, strong and incredibly soft. There are several things that I absolutely love about this fabric. It’s perfect for fall and winter because it provides great insulation without all the bulk.
Company of We cashmere sweater $275, Canterbury cashmere sweater $325.
It is quite possibly the only universally accept garment. I don’t know a single person that doesn’t love cashmere and lets be honest why wouldn’t they?! It quite literally goes with everything in your closet. Take for instance these crew necks from Company of We and Canterbury, they can easily be worn with jeans, dress pant, or under a coat. Switch it up with the v-neck and you can throw it over a nice white-t, or dress it up with a shirt and tie.
Michael Kors hoodies $295.
Heck, if you’re looking for more variety, why not try these classic Michael Kors hoodies. Great for anything from a brisk morning jog to a nice coffee date in the afternoon. Granted cashmere sweaters tend to be more expensive that your regular garments but as Kurt Vonnegut says “you get what you pay for”.
What is a Psycho Bunny?……
A psycho bunny: A hot woman, who had way too many issues (that you only find out about after you’ve slept with her) or one of my favorite new brands for Fall!
I first saw Psycho Bunny in both Neiman Marcus and Bathing Ape a few years back and fell in love with the brand. Preppy with an attitude – what’s not to love? And it totally works with my buying philosophy of “sophisticated clothing with an edge”.
Merino wool sweater $195, striped collegiate sweater $225, merino wool cardigan $225.
The brand started with a British ex-pat working for Ralph Lauren, who became friends with a New Yorker that owned a third generation hand-making tie business. They started Psycho bunny with a collection of ties in 2006, and in a few short years they’ve expanded their collection beyond ties to encompass menswear staples like polos, merino v-necks and cardigans, collegiate striped knits and intarsia wool pullovers: all with the psycho bunny twist. If you’ve moved beyond the horse and the alligator, try the bunny!
Wool socks $38.
