Après Holidays
With Christmas and Hanukkah now behind us, it’s one of my favorite times of year—après holiday. That quiet stretch when the world softens a little. School is still out. Schedules loosen. People linger longer. Everything feels gentler. Lighter.
It’s on these cold December nights that you tuck in beside your kids, your pet, or your significant other. Pop a bowl of popcorn. Sprinkle it with a little pink Himalayan sea salt—yes, we’re still a little extra—and settle in beneath a cashmere blanket for a feel-good movie like The Holiday or The Family Stone.
All of this, naturally, in ratty sweats and a ripped tee…
Screech.
Ratty sweats and a ripped tee??
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you:
CbC Does Après Holidays | Cozy, But Chic
At CbC, cozy doesn’t mean sloppy.
It means paired sets—of the cashmere variety—in soft, wearable tones. Wrap cardigans that feel like a hug. Tees so soft they disappear on the body, matched with wide-leg cotton or cashmere pants that float as you walk. Heavy-weight silks that feel indulgent but effortless.
It means shades of cream, blush, milky chocolate, whispery taupe—the kinds of colors you find at the bottom of a coffee cup or in the window of a macaron boutique à Paris.
Cozy is shearling or plush slippers elevated enough to take you from inside to out—and still stop people in their tracks. Cashmere baseball caps (Loro Piana, Vince, even Quince). Jewelry that’s classic and restrained but finishes a look—à la Dorsey. Makeup kept fresh and dewy, topped with a light, intimate fragrance.
That’s how CbC does holiday chic.
Not a ratty sweat or ripped tee in sight.
