Winter brings mixed feelings and dropping temperatures. Some welcome the season with outstretched gloves and an eagerness to hit the slopes and spend hours in powder. Some love the idea of getting cozy with a book by the fire. Some would rather head to Florida and forget about the piles of snow or the slippery ice entirely. No matter what you think about winter, one thing to love is the opportunities for a winter wardrobe. Snuggly sweaters, toasty coats, and cozy caps lend warmth and festivity to the cold winter months.

It’s Finally Sweater (and Sweatshirt) Weather

Winter sweaters and sweatshirts are always in season. Sometimes you need a middle layer that will stand on its own or happily go between your t-shirt and jacket. This super soft women’s summit sweater-fleece jacket, available in navy or gray with the solid N* logo, pairs well with anything. The stand-up collar with chin guard and princess seams gives you a polished look, while pockets make it easy to stow your gear when you’re running around town. Part sweater, part fleece, it will see you through the day and into the night when the temps go down. Wear it with Navy pride!

For a more sporty look, a sturdy sweatshirt is the perfect staple for those winter walks through the woods, when the only sound is the crunch of snow or fallen leaves beneath your boots. This men’s hooded sweatshirt in oatmeal is warm and functional. The generous hood protects your head and the kangaroo pocket provides plenty of stowage for keys, a phone, and other essential items. With “The Naval Academy, Annapolis” in bold type, it has Navy pride written all over it. Use it for your regular winter workout or take it slopeside. No matter how you wear it, it’s tough enough to stand up to the weather and layers well when you need another topper.

For the little ones in your life, kick off their fandom on the right foot with this mini homage to Navy, a youth gray crew sweatshirt. It's strong enough to keep up with their shenanigans on the playground and stylish enough to wear to the next birthday party. With the official Navy emblem and logo, they’ll be a part of the brigade and can show it off on their next tour of the Yard!
