What, don’t speak Norwegian? Well then, be bilingual in your fashion sense by wearing the hottest trend in winter wear: Nordic sweaters!
Go simple and classic with a pair of jeans and boots, or layer under a corduroy blazer or knit cardigan with thick scarves for that earthy “sheep herder in the city” look just featured by GQ. An authentic hand knit Nordic sweater from Oslo will set you back a pretty penny ($200-400), but will no doubt last a lifetime and be your go-to winter piece for simple styling. If your bank account is moth-eaten, LLBean and has less expensive options that will fill the Nordic niche, and don’t forget your friendly neighborhood Salvation Army, where we recently hit the jackpot with a fabulous trend-fit knit for $2!! Either way, ta et motestikkord fra de Nordmennene denne vinter og pakker deg i tradisjonsstil (take a cue from the Norwegians this winter and wrap yourself in traditional style!)
Just layering it up on the runway - total cost? Lots and lots of Kroner.
Salvation Army find: $2. Catching a thrift-high: Priceless.
