What: Black and yellow zip-up sweater

Where: French Connection (1150 Robson Street)

Price Tag: $79.99

Why: Chunky knit sweaters are a must when the temperature drops, but finding one that’s both funky and functional isn’t always easy. French Connection combines hipster chic with the more traditional look of a Cowichan sweater, and this fluorescent-yellow and black pattern is a wicked twist on the more common brown-and-beige combination. The howling-wolf motif, usually reserved for rocker Ts, looks sweet and cozy here. The oversized collar and extra-long arms will help keep the cold out, while the cropped length is perfect for pairing with the layered T-shirt look; try a pink-and-grey combo or coral with black. You might even consider wearing it as a jacket, because with a print this cute, you’ll want to keep it on the outside.
