Dressing for the Shoulder Season
The six weeks when nothing quite works. Five layering combinations that carry from a cold morning to a warm afternoon.
The shoulder seasons defeat most wardrobes because they ask a single outfit to work across a fifteen-degree swing. The answer is not a heavier coat. It is a lighter one, worn over more.
Our preferred formula: a fine-gauge knit, an unlined blazer, and something with a collar underneath. Each layer is thin enough to remove without ruining the line of the others.
Shoes matter more than people expect. A leather boot reads as warm even when it is not, which buys you another week before the wool socks come out.
