If there’s one thing Coloradans are good at, it’s embracing the cold! Fort Collins kicks off the winter season with the latest fashion trends and brands that are sure to keep you looking cool on the outside and warm on the inside. We interviewed the fashion gurus at Topo and Jax, to get their input on what’s trending this season.
If you’re outdoorsy, no chilly weather is going to keep you from exploring our snow-packed mountain tops! You happy campers will be thrilled to know that functional fashion is the theme for the season. This trend is all about fashion awareness that provides the necessary functions for work and sporting activities.
Topo has produced functional fashion from the very beginning with their mountain fleeces, puffer parkas, and year-round best-selling bags. These are the items that look good from work and school to hiking, climbing, and biking. While the cropped style was in last year, down/suit jackets that create a longer, larger silhouette are in for both genders.
More recently, outdoor gear has become a mix of athletic and athleisure! This season, functional fashion means more than just exploring. JAX’s best-sellers are soft, comfortable fabrics that are perfect for customers working from home. Keep it cool and comfortable with fleece pullovers and sweatpants from Patagonia, The North Face, and Marmot!
The best colors for the season are the resounding earth tones! For the ladies, get ready for multiple shades of green along with pinks and coral colors. For the men, you won’t stray too far from navy blue and charcoal with red/orange accents!
The best clothing options to stay warm are down jackets/parkas and wool fabric! Baselayers and socks made from Merino wool pulls and dries perspiration faster than many other synthetic materials. It’s the latest comfortable, non-itchy way to trap your body heat, shielding you from the bitter cold.
While it’s one of the biggest cities in Colorado, Fort Collins has yet to lose its old town feel. With unique stores just for you that embrace the latest trends, you can stand out and stay trendy all in one place
