How to Make Use of Your Entire Wardrobe
With two days left in 2020, we’re in major manifestation mode: herd immunity (huge shout-out to scientists), hugging friends (if your love language is physical touch, hang in there), and wearing something other than sweats (miss you, #ootd).
The first two will happen in time, but getting dressed when it’s dreary out requires a bit more problem-solving on your part. How do you layer without bulking up, incorporate color without looking seasonally confused, and make the resortwear that you stress-bought work for right now? You’ve got q’s, we’ve got a’s—here, four closet combinations to try in the coming weeks.
PATTERNS + PULLOVERS
Even the most tropical pieces can be kept in play year-round—all it takes is a couple of cold-conscious add-ons, like a knuckle-grazing knit (the chunkier, the better) and a pair of sensible shoes.

PROENZA SCHOULER SWEATER, goop, $890; ULLA JOHNSON DRESS, goop, $345; ATP ATELIER BOOTS, goop, $360; MANSUR GAVRIEL BAG, goop, $237

COZY DRESS + CASHMERE SOCKS
When you have virtual book club at 6 and dinner to pick up at 7: Start with a soft silhouette and fuzzy calf socks; when it’s time to go, slip on a just-in-case jacket and the world’s most comfortable sandals.

NORMA KAMALI DRESS, goop, $96; G. LABEL MICHAEL ARMY JACKET (worn throughout), goop, $595; JOSEPH BAG, goop, $595

COLORFUL KNIT + CARGO PANTS
It’s a plug-and-play formula with endless outcomes. Best part is you can go as big (Chanel) or small (cardholder) as you want with the accessories as long as they all tie in. Sweater to bag, bag to boots…you get the idea.
