What Are We Wearing?

Hygge style has influenced our homes and closets for the last few years. This aesthetic concept comes from a Scandinavian approach to style consisting of minimalism, comfort, serenity, nature, and softness. Here are some brands I reach for to achieve this look: perfect for travel, staycations, relaxing getaways & retreats, and cozy nights with friends and family.

Textures

Incorporate as many cozy elements as you can. Opt for chunky, cable knit sweaters, soft cashmere pieces, and thick coats that layer nicely and give an elegant drape when you put them on. The goal is to be comfortable and chic but still have shape and structure without looking sloppy.

Layers

Comfy layers make a cool and casual statement. I love a soft tee styled under a fabulous sweater and body-hugging leggings with a bootie. It’s a simple, straightforward concept, but when you incorporate beautifully designed pieces, they are well executed; they take an otherwise basic look up several notches.

Colors

The Hygge style is all about nature, serenity, and minimalism. When incorporating this into your wardrobe, opt for neutral tones that are easy to pair with virtually anything in your closet. Think beige, black, grey, ivory, or camel - if you want to liven up your look, finish with a bright-colored accessory like a slouchy tote, scarf, or belt.
