Introducing MM Cashmere: 3 Cozy-but-Professional Pieces for Winter

October 22, 2015

Sure, the weather is still quite lovely in NYC. But before long, we’ll all be dressing like this photo of Lenny Kravitz—or at least wishing we could.

If you can pull off wearing an actual blanket to work, we applaud you. But if you’re looking for a slightly more elegant alternative, you’re in luck. At MM.LaFleur, we’ve just rolled out our first-ever cashmere pieces, and they are totally scrumtrulescent. They’re also as professional as they are warm—so you can feel snug as a yeti without actually looking like one.

1. The Brilliant Knit Blazer

Is it a sweater? A blazer? A swayzer? A jacket? A swacket? The answer is yes. The Campion is all of those things. It’s also the softest thing we’ve ever had the pleasure of draping over our shivery little shoulders. And the best part is that it’s perfectly office-appropriate, so you can get that Lenny Kravitz feel (see link above) while still looking like you’re all business.

Fun fact: It’s named after Jane Campion, one of our favorite female film directors.

2. The Elegant Duster

Artist Georgia O’Keeffe once said: “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.” There are also no words for this long two-toned wonder that we named after her. It’s one of those pieces you might just end up wearing every day: as a light jacket, as a topper around the office, or as a streamlined layer under your winter coat. Which brings us to…

3. The Cashmere-Wool Coat

When it comes to winter coats, there are two schools of thought: one-and-done, or the-more-the-merrier. Whether you prefer having a single go-to or a rotating roster of outerwear, the Gramercy coat needs to be involved. A classic silhouette with modern proportions (slightly dropped shoulders, subtly curved sleeves), this coat will be your trusty companion on days when you have to go from blizzard to boardroom.
