Oliver Spencer – No matter what you pair this navy velvet blazer with, you are headed #FTW and will class up your New Year’s crew.

L.L. Bean – A Union Suit is a great piece to layer and to lounge, or keep warm when celebrating in the outdoors, and the grey option is a little less elfish than the tradition red.

Williamsburg Garment Co. – Nothing beats a great fitting pair of dark denim made in America.   And with no stitching, this jean focuses more on the actual denim, and less on ornamentation.

Coach – This variegated wool and cashmere striped scarf that measures 62 x 12”, not only keeps you warm, but will have you looking dapper in all those New Year’s Instagrams.

Coach –  Cashmere knit cap, because this is a hit in any color.  But please don’t get all matchy matchy with your scarf!

Sebago – The Pinehurst Boot with its pinked & perfed detailing make the perfect boot to take on the town, or head to New Year’s Day hangover brunch.
