I don't know about you, but I'm always cold. When others are feeling a bit chilly, I'm likely on the verge of frostbite. When I'm in an AC-blasting office or shop, I die a little inside. A cool breeze is the death of me, and I've learned to accept it. But this isn't to say that I don't enjoy the fall and winter seasons—in fact, layering is one of my favorite activities and discovering new outerwear is unusually satisfying. And it goes without saying that I love me a good chunky knit. So if you're like me and keeping warm is a year-round struggle, here are a few sweaters that are as stylish as they are supportive.

Whether you’re spending Thanksgiving at home with your family, or dining with the in-laws, or even at an amazing prix fixe at a fancy restaurant, one thing is certain: there will be lots of food. We strongly advise pants with an elastic waist (if you must wear pants at all), and a bold, loose shirt that will hide any gravy or sauce drippings. It may require a special wardrobe, but I think we all agree that this meal is worth it. After the jump, check out our picks for the best tops to hide the bulge and mess of Thanksgiving, while still looking like a million bucks.

Today’s New York high of 65 degrees is just one degree short of the record (from 1973), but we have our fingers crossed that the sun and heat will give way to snow at some point this fall or winter (those legwarmers and scarves aren’t going to wear themselves). But the best part about dressing for the cold? Boots. With last year’s unpredictable snowstorms, we want to be ready in the event of rain or snow. After the jump, check out our favorite wood-soled boots for this winter—perfectly light and durable to keep you high and dry.

New York Fashion Week topples over with model pouts, distended egos, and double-kisses. The whole circus is as fabulous as it is absurd. To usher in the Spring 2008 collections, we checked in with young, fun strut peddlers to find out what they’ll be listening to—on and off the runway.
