The Perfect...Skin

The Capilene 2 Lightweight Crew by Patagonia

Taking on old man winter can be daunting, especially when you live in an erratic climate.  I find the Patagonia Light Weight Crew is perfect for almost any activity, especially on the slopes. Its open-knit construction breathes, wicks moisture and clocks the fastest dry time of all Patagonia's performance baselayer fabrics, preventing you from freezing on the lift. $45 patagonia.com 

The Perfect...Nautical

The Nautical Tee by Saint James

Oh the French and their fashionable Navy.  The fisherman's sweater has been keeping them warm for over a century and Saint James has been making them since the 50's.  Its simple lines and classic design make it easy to layer. Available at jcrew.com $85



The Perfect T

The James Perse T-shirt

Okay, it has been a while, but I am back.  I am always on the hunt for the perfect T.  One that fits, is soft and is good quality.  I have found it thanks to James Perse. They can be found in a number of fine shops throughout Vancouver, but order online at jamesperse.com   $45



The Perfect...Cozy

The rag & bone Oval Shawl Cardigan

Founded in 2002, rag & bone had one very clear vision in mind: to make clothes that they and their friends would love to wear every day.  This shawl cardigan, made of 100% extra fine wool, is the perfect everyday sweater.  $290 online at rag-bone.com 

The Perfect...V

No matter where you work or what you do for a living, a light weight V-neck sweater, or jumper as our friends across the pond call them, is an essential.  Filippa K offers wide range of knits but I love how you can dress this V-neck up or down. It comes in a wide range of colours from black to evergreen, so choose wisely.  If you are on a budget, H&M has been featuring V-necks in their men’s collection for a number of years.  Again, you will need to choose a colour or if you are like me get one of each.
