'Autumn is no time to lie alone'
The Tale of Genji
Although winter doesn't officially start for a month, Thanksgiving weekend has become the unofficial start of the cozy season. The season when for many of us, it's cold, windy and snowy, and dark before 5pm. Thanksgiving marks the start of decorating our homes, and preparing for many enjoyable evenings, curled up on the couch. Watching a movie, or binging a television show. Doing some work, or reading a good book, or just snuggling and transferring heat, with another warm body.
It's also a time to ditch those light and bright summer clothes, and slide into, and then out of, more comfortable autumn and winter attire. Pinks, blues and yellows are replaced by oranges, browns and greys. Time to unpack that silk throw to snuggle under on the couch, to pull out your flannel, your corduroy and your terry cloth robe.
As Jessie demonstrates in this series of images from TR Pics, getting comfy for the winter months, doesn't have to mean you can't still show a little, or a lot of skin. Jessie models the hottest in cozy season attire, from ditching his light summer robe, to a warmer winter one, picking up his favorite blue coach blanket, then sliding on, then slipping off, his favorite pair of sweat pants.
Of course no cozy season wardrobe is complete without at least one or two warm and comfortable sweaters. As you can see, Jesse's modeling his sweaters sitting by a fireplace in the den. He needed the sweater when he ventured outside to get a bit of kindling for the fire from out behind the shed. Now Jessie usually only gets chest chilly, below the waist, the temperature's always on the rise. I'm quite sure his neighbour's don't object too strongly, to his wardrobe choices when out in the backyard.
But of course, there's another way to handle the cozy season, and the winter chill, without having to spend much time or money on new clothes. You can always just close and wind proof your windows, keep a fire going, or turn up the heat, and wear nothing but your birthday suit, all year long. For Aunt Mildred's sake though, I would recommend wearing at least your cozy sweater to the family Thanksgiving dinner.
