Forget Grandma’s knitted Holiday sweaters and matching pajama sets. This year’s family holiday card is getting an upgrade. Here are our favorite cold weather collections to outfit the whole family! From quarter zips and jackets to vests, there is a style fit for everyone! So go ahead and match, without being too “matchy, matchy”.

 

Patagonia Better Sweater Collection 

I say better, you say sweater. The name “Better Sweater” says it all. Once I finally joined the Better Sweater bandwagon, it quickly became my go-to sweater. It is lightweight, yet it provides enough warmth for those crisp winter days. Functional designs, timeless styling, and proven durability: These are the goods you will never get rid of. Made with our beautiful planet in mind, the Better Sweater Collection is made of 100% recycled polyester fleece. Patagonia knows it’s a fan-favorite so they have delivered fresh new styles in our favorite fleece to add to our collection. Thanks, Patagonia!

 

Patagonia Los Gatos Collection

The Los Gatos collection is probably the fuzziest piece of clothing you will ever wear. Enough said, right? Also made from 100% recycled polyester fleece, it makes us love it even more. These are perfect for Mom and Daughter to dress up or throw on to relax around the house. Our favorite is the new Los Gatos Hooded Pullover as it provides extra warmth with the kangaroo pocket and hood. You don’t want to go through winter without this piece.

 

Patagonia Down Sweater Collection

Talking about better sweaters (pun intended), here is another- made with down. Yup. The perfect warmth for just about everything, the Patagonia Down Sweater is lightweight and windproof with a 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and 800-fill-power Traceable Down. Everyone else flocks to warm rock, relishing t-shirt weather, but you are chasing early-season ice in the mountains. The shell on this down jacket does more than look sharp; it’s snow-shedding and windproof.

 

 

Patagonia Nano Puff Collection

  An iconic jacket and recently redesigned to reduce the environmental impact as the Nano Puff insulation is made of synthetic fibers. This year Patagonia transitioned to using a 100% recycled PrimaLoft Insulation which reduces carbon emissions by 510,000 pounds annually. High five to that! Our favorite feature of the Nano Puff Collection is the internal chest pocket. It keeps your items safe and doubles as a stuff sack for the jacket for space-saving packing. Highly compressible, it re-stuffs with ease, every time. 

 

 

Patagonia Lightweight Synchilla Collection

Retro, soft, and styled with versatility. The classic Lightweight Synchilla fleece is the luxury line of fleece. Perfect for the trails on a brisk day and a night around the campfire, bundled up with a blanket and a hot insulated cup of something. Pairs well with your favorite jeans, adventure boots, and socks to keep you cozy and fashionable.

 

 

 

The North Face Gordon Lyons Collection

You could say this is the battle of the brands. Very similar to the Patagonia Better Sweater is The North Face Gordon Lyons series. As both styles are made of a sweater-knit fleece, they are very versatile for a wide range of activites. We like the stylish two-tone colorway options North Face delivers as well as the more relaxed fit. Another plus? The Gordon Lyons is slightly heavier making it warmer when the temperature drops even lower. We think you will like the price, too.
