The Perfect...Neck

The rag & bone Plaid Scarf


I'm a big fan of the scarf.  I think it is because I always feel cozy wearing one.  It's like I am still in the comfort of my own bed. The rag & bone Plaid Scarf, made from 100% virgin wool, is lightweight enough for the warmer seasons and “cozy” enough to keep out the cold.  $125 online at rag-bone.com

The Perfect...Urban Snow Boot

The Converse Storm Boot Woolrich



I woke up this morning to snow on the ground. Not enough to break out the Sorels, but enough to soak my feet in an instant.  With a little help from Woolrich, the original outdoor clothing company, Converse has created a boot perfect for the urbanite who wants to keep his tootsies warm while looking...well...cool. The custom Hunter plaid upper keeps out wind and wetness and the rubber outsole grips in adverse conditions. $140 at converse.com
