Also, in preparation for brisk winter streets, the shoes are made with slip-resistant rubber outsoles and treated to repel water. Right now, only the light sand shade is completely in stock as a testament to the value of these everyday shoes.

No winter wardrobe is complete without a well-fitting base layer like this cotton jersey top that comes in three neutral colors. Because it’s constructed from a combination of cotton and spandex, you’ll find it soft against your skin with just the right amount of softness, and it’ll layer well under a crisp sweater, and even look great worn on its own. Shoppers call it a “wardrobe staple” with “the perfect amount,” so you won’t feel restricted in your movements. The flattering, snug fit will instantly elevate even your favorite lounge outfits.
