Balance, warmth and ease, shaped for winter living
Winter layering is less about excess and more about intention. Rather than piling on weight, considered dressing relies on balance, where warmth, movement and comfort work together. Accessories form the foundation of this approach, offering flexibility and ease as winter unfolds from morning to evening.
At the core of winter layering are pieces that regulate warmth without overwhelming the body. Hats, headbands, scarves and socks do much of the work, supporting temperature control while remaining light and adaptable. These layers allow warmth to be distributed gradually, responding to changes in activity and environment throughout the day.
Accessories also define how winter dressing transitions between moments. A scarf wrapped tightly against early cold can soften by afternoon. Socks designed for insulation remain comfortable indoors, while headbands and hats offer warmth without compromising silhouette or ease. This adaptability creates a fluid rhythm to winter dressing, one that feels natural rather than styled.
Day-to-night winter dressing benefits from this restraint. When layers are thoughtfully chosen, there is no need for constant adjustment. The same accessories worn outdoors move seamlessly into evenings, dinners and quieter moments, where texture and comfort replace excess. Layering becomes a language of continuity, not contrast.
This approach works well beyond ski settings. While suited to alpine conditions, it translates easily to city winters, travel days and everyday cold-weather routines. Accessories become long-term companions rather than seasonal additions, worn repeatedly and intuitively as winter returns year after year.
Each Lacorine piece is crafted from 100% Peruvian alpaca wool, chosen for its exceptional warmth, softness and natural breathability. Alpacas are shorn during warmer months for their wellbeing, and all production supports Fairtrade-aligned artisan communities in the Andes. Made in limited quantities, every accessory reflects a commitment to careful making, longevity and materials that work in harmony with the season.
