GARAGE Gives Winter Essentials An Unapologetic Twist

Cold-weather dressing just got even cooler.

by Erin Cunningham

Winterwear is generally born out of practicality — items that can be layered for dropping temps, thicker fabrics that keep you cozy, and accessories made for the elements — but these essentials aren’t always made with style in mind. For that reason, many of us tend to hit a fashion rut come mid-season, plagued by the same turtleneck-jeans-boots rotation that has us counting down the days to warmer months.

Since we can’t fast-forward to spring, we’ve decided to look for ways to make the most of the now — and that includes shifting our perspective on cold-weather gear. Sure, functionality is still top of mind, but we’re also considering colors, materials, and textures that make getting dressed in the middle of winter way more fun. Think: an extra-insulated puffer coat in an eye-catching metallic silver, or long-sleeve T-shirts that feel like loungewear, but are sleek enough to wear out of the house. Whether you’re staying in or going out, “unapologetic” fashion brand GARAGE reminds us that our clothes can be multipurpose: they can look as good as they feel.

Since 1975, the label has encouraged shoppers to stand out with elevated basics, on-trend essentials, and everything in between. Its street-active aesthetic helps you exude confidence and be the best — and most fashionable — version of yourself. And while it’s the ultimate style destination year-round, we’re partial to its winter assortment, which is exactly what we’ve been looking for to take our dressing to the next level. Below, find 10 items we’re adding to our rotation, plus tips for how to style them in unexpected ways.
