It's that time of year where it is undeniably cold. Winter should be an easy time to shop because you don't need much. A good pair of jeans, maybe a pair of pants and that go-to warm layer that blocks out the elements and makes it that much easier to exist. There is something about being prepared and actually being warm that bring excitement and comfort to everyday life. It's fun to layer up and get warm!
We know there are two types of people, those who feel the cold and just need to be warm NOW and those who want coverage but don't need a huge amount of help warming up. We envy the latter.
At BLAEK Store we have some great sustainable options for you this winter and we thought we'd run through a few right here...
