The Coldest Day AW13/14 Collection by Penfield

When it’s cold outside, we’re not fantasizing about central heating and cups of cocoa; we’re dreaming of Penfield, in all its fleecy, blankety glory.

There aren’t many brands that can compete when it comes to bundling up for the grey and snowy season. In fact, when Harvey Gross established the brand in 1975, he was only interested in creating the warmest outerwear possible, the prerequisite of the brands down insulated outerwear that we’ve come to know and love. This season, Penfield has built on everything it knows and loves about super warm clothing and trumped it with their awesome AW13 collection dubbed ‘The Coldest Day’.

The collection consists of old favorites, including the Hoosac Hooded Mountain Parka, and smart new additions like the super lightweight Chinook Vest and the Naklin Packable Tech Down Shirt, the latter of which is the answer to winter layering FYI. Though most of the collection actually double-up as smart layering components – which the lookbook demonstrates exceptionally.

Aside from the outerwear, the collection is made up of Fair Isle knits, fleece and down-filled vests, sartorial sweats, plaid shirts and classical, super chinos. There’s also a woolen blanket that we’re gingerly hoping to incorporate into our winter wardrobe without looking like some kind of new age explorer.

The real appeal of this collection lies in its versatility – each piece would look just as at home on the slopes as it would on the city streets. We’ve also developed a bit of an obsession with the microdot Summit jacket that is due to be released very soon.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils.
