The holidays are fraught with powerful associations—some shared and some unique. For me—and likely for many—the months of November and December equate to the smell of warm kitchen spices and pine, the magic of snowfall, and the joyous sound of Christmas music played at every opportunity. As someone who loves cozy seasonal clothing, this time of year also means fair isle sweaters, hair bows, and plaid pants worn on repeat.
