I'm convinced that Los Angeles winters deserve a category of their own. The weather app will say it's 59°, but the air will feel freezing, like bone-chilling cold. Maybe it's because we L.A. natives aren't built for temps below 65° (you better believe I'm bundled up in a faux-fur coat the minute it dips below that), or maybe the blend of ocean breeze and mountain air sneaks up on us at the worst times. The weather here can be unpredictable: arctic in the morning, oddly warm by lunch, and then back to freezing once night hits. Since it's never quite cold enough for heavy-duty winter gear, smart layering is the only way to survive. This winter, I'm focused on finding pieces that will keep me warm in this unique climate but still help me feel stylish and intentional. That brings me to Abercrombie & Fitch, a brand that, in my opinion, has perfected the art of cozy-chic layering. Its sweaters, jackets, denim, and loungewear hit that ideal balance of comfort and polish, and I'll reach for them on repeat as the temps continue to swing all over the place. Let's get into the good stuff.
Sweaters
During winter, there's about a 98% chance I'm wearing a sweater. They're cozy, easy to throw on, and make any outfit look more considered. Plus, they're unbelievably versatile: I can wear one to grab dinner, head to work, run errands—you name it.
Jackets
The most vital article of clothing I'm on the hunt for is a really good jacket—one that keeps me warm and elevates my outfit. I've developed a recent obsession with faux-fur coats, and this one went into my cart the second I saw it.
Jeans and Pants
When I think of Abercrombie & Fitch, its iconic jeans are the first thing that comes to mind. I wore them nonstop as a kid, and honestly, my love for them has only grown—the brand just gets denim. Jeans are the ultimate staple for any time of year and can easily be dressed up or down, and a great leather pant is essential for a winter night out.
Loungewear
Loungewear that still looks put-together is basically a requirement when you live in L.A. Whether I'm running errands, grabbing an overpriced smoothie, or leaning into a cozy day at home, I want something that feels comfortable but doesn't look like I threw on whatever I found at the bottom of my drawer.
