What To Wear: Winter Clothes
With wool, fur or faux fur, and down being pretty standard materials for winter clothing, it can be a challenge to find kind clothes for the cooler months. Since we’re heading into winter, I wanted to check in with you all and see what you’re planning to wear to stay warm. Here’s how I dress for winter:
When I shop, I look for second-hand clothes first. Some great second hand shops in LA are Wasteland, Crossroads Trading Company, and Buffalo Exchange. They offer a range of items from fancy pants style vintage and designer labels to gently used items from stores like H&M or Forever 21. Second hand shops like Blue Bird on Larchmont in LA are a great place to look for kids’ clothes too. Kids grow so fast; they tend not to wear clothes that long, so there’s a ton of gently used apparel for them if you know where to look.
If I can’t find what I need in second-hand stores, I buy new, but stick to eco-friendly, vegan brands. Vaute Couture makes awesome 100% vegan coats and accessories. You can also find lots of great clothes at these eco stores in LA and NYC. Companies like my friend Doug’s Loomstate, shoe company Olsen Haus, and model Lily Cole’s North Circular are striving to make apparel that’s eco, animal-friendly, and chic…so all you kind fashionistas can still get your style fix!
For more eco recommendations, check out the blog I wrote while I was in New York doing the play Time Stands Still. In it, I discuss a bunch of kind brands I found that kept me cozy during my winter in NYC.

Fall/Winter time is a great time to hit up the 'vintage' stores since it's "sweater season" and frankly, I believe for us ladies, we could hit up the mens side of the shop for some cozy sweaters too! I do have long boots but consider using a short boot with some leggings, which also feel warm and cozy under the pants. Then of course, I hit up the stores with great sales going on! One other tip: spend your money wisely purchasing good quality products on things you'll use the most and not so much on items you'll rarely use. For instance, I may hit up Tahoe just a couple times this year, and the vintage stores carry some quality snow boots, at least the times I've been. Actually, I better go RIGHT NOW...they may be gone soon! Keep warm!! -
I love my faux UGG black boots by the eco-friendly, vegan brand Neuaura! I ordered them from Neuaura's website.

I love shopping second hand shops. I am looking forward to the Nashville area getting more shops that sell vegan and eco friendly clothes.

Hi Linda,
Good for your daughter!
I've worn Payless and Old Navy boots for years w/ no issues. (There may be comments here later on labor issues, but that's a separate discussion).
Both sites are 30% off today, as well.

Hi everyone... I posted a question today about vegan Ugg style boots for kids. It is funny because Alicia just posted her article What To Wear: Winter Clothes. My question was my daughter is nine and all of her little friends wear Ugg Boots. Since becoming vegan three years ago, she refuses to wear any type of shoes or boots made from any animal. I am so proud of her for being so young, not following the crowd and sticking with what she beleives in. But the problem is that I cannot find a good pair of Vegan Ugg style or really any type of boots for children that do not either look cheap or fall apart after a few months. I did find one company that had a great boot but was $345.00 for a pair of kid boots! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Linda -

So far this winter have just been wearing a cloth coat I found while curb digging. But I have been trying to find something heavier at our local Salvation Army store as it is getting colder and colder everyday.
