You can never have too many jackets to fend off the bone-chilling weather. This one from Brigade’s Winter 2024 collection is a contender for one of the best items of the year. It employs fashion’s favorite illusion, Tromp-l’oeil, to make a cozy brown fleece look like a worn-in G-1 flight jacket from the ’80s. It’s the perfect way for Brigade to cap off its best year yet. –Mike DeStefano

Nike and renowned makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench worked together on an Air Max Dn collab. For those unfamiliar with Ffrench’s work, she held roles at Burberry Beauty, launched Byredo’s makeup line, and now operates her own eponymous makeup brand. Her subversiveness and creativity have earned her a cult following. Her out-of-the-box approach yielded multi-textural, monochromatic Air Max Dns inspired by various skin tones. –Shinnie Park

The latest installment of Canada Goose and CNCPTS’ collaboration is inspired by the Northern Lights. The Lawrence puffer is a fully reversible jacket featuring two prints–a denim-like washed indigo on one side, and an aurora borealis gradient on the other. It’s a clean-cut winter jacket with a punch of color. –Shinnie Park

Where to Buy It: joefreshgoods.com and in-store at Every Now & Then in Chicago
Price: $230

Joe Freshgoods drops fire fleeces. His latest is a follow-up to this amazing zip-up from February. This time, the Chicago designer takes us to the rodeo. An image of a Cowboy on a bucking horse is stamped on the front and back of the blue quarter-zip. Two zip pockets on the torso and an adjustable cinch at the waist are nice finishing touches. –Mike DeStefano

Where to Buy It: luar.world
Price: $530

Luar’s venture following up its CFDA win for Accessory Designer of the Year is the Jehan Belted Mules. With three iterations available, we like the black smooth leather pair for how sleek it is. Style it with a pair of tailored wide-leg pants, letting the diamond-shaped toe poke out at the hem. We can’t wait for Luar’s continued expansion. –Shinnie Park

Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: palomawool.com and Paloma Wool pop-up in NYC
Price: €175 (approx. $184)

Paloma Wool has expanded its offering to menswear. Continuing the soft, fluid nature of the brand’s womenswear line, the Crush Sweater is a plush wool-blend piece with a cheeky ‘I ❤ ️ PW‘ embroidered on the back. There’s an NYC holiday pop-up until January 2, where you can see and try on the sweater IRL if you’re around. –Shinnie Park

Price: $78

If you haven’t completed your holiday shopping yet, we suggest you check out Le Père’s new candle. Crafted with French perfumer Blaise Mautin, who also worked on creating the brand’s signature fragrance, the candle blends notes of patchouli, santal, vanilla, musk, and cedar. It will make a memorable gift for those who have an affinity for warm, woodsy scents. –Shinnie Park

Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: outsoul.co
Price: $147

Outsoul, the clothing brand by London-based sneaker collector and historian Dennis Mazur a.k.a SneakerDenn, released a nostalgic pullover. The colorful gradient is meant to be a nod to the highly-collectible PlayStation x Nike Air Force 1 from 2006. While we appreciate the reference point, this is a great statement piece to add to your closet even if that means nothing to you. –Mike DeStefano

Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: www.ssense.com, Juun.J and select Puma retailers
Price: $170

South Korean designer Juun.J takes on Puma’s latest hit sneaker, the Speedcat. Available in both the low and mid-top styles, the fully blacked-out design adds a futuristic flair to the shoe. If the bright colorways of the original Speedcat weren’t your cup of tea, this pair might be the one for you. –Shinnie Park

Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: patta.nl
Price: $230

Patta collaborated with Alpha Industries for an online-exclusive colorway of its All Chapter bomber jacket. This reversible piece features large embroidery calling out Patta’s three key cities–Amsterdam, London, and Milan–across the back of the silver side. Lagos, where Patta opened its newest store earlier this year, is highlighted on the sleeve. “Patta Got Love For All” instead of the usual “Remove Before Flight” messaging on the ribbon that hangs from the sleeve is another nice easter egg. The orange side features a small logo hit on the left chest. You can never beat two jackets for the price of one. –Mike DeStefano
