When the weather outside is cold, gray, and—let’s be honest—makes us not want to leave our beds, let alone wear something pretty, it can be hard to want to put that effort into your morning look (and whole routine, really). But what if you could look crazily chic without giving it a second thought (and wishing for your fave fuzzy socks)? Well, we may have found the answer in this H&M mélange cardigan. Melange, if you don’t already know, is like the salt-n-pepper version of clothing (yes, just like George Clooney if he were made of cotton)—usually found in sweaters. This one from H&M is long, drapey, and warm enough if you want to layer up and forego the winter coat.

For those too-depressing—and borderline pajama-wearing—weekends, try it out with black ripped jeans (like these from denim’s favorite Joe’s Jeans), a black turtleneck (or mock-neck, which seem to be picking up steam for those who feel like turtlenecks are too chokehold-y), like this one from H&M, and shock-white leather booties—like these from King of Boots Jeffrey Campbell. The shriek of white boots provides a bold punch so your outfit doesn’t seem too depressing. The nice thing about this ensemble is that you can wear it out pretty much anywhere. No midday changes necessary! Seasonal Affective Disorder is serious business (especially when the weather can seem so melancholy), so let your outfit give you a much-needed pick-me-up.
