Riga Winter Requires More: How to Perfectly Pair Jackets and Sweaters
Living in Riga, we know one truth: winter isn't just about how warm your jacket is. Winter is a story about layers. You need a jacket that blocks the Daugava wind, and a sweater that keeps you warm and looks great when you take off your outerwear at a cafe or work.
Our outlet has received new arrivals in both categories. Here is how we recommend combining our most popular brands for maximum style and warmth.
1. The Daily Rush: JJXX Jacket + Roxy/Noisy May Sweater
This is the combo for energetic days.
-
Outer Layer: JJXX puffer jackets are light and mobile – they don't get in the way of driving or running for the tram.
-
Inner Layer: Add character with a Roxy or Noisy May sweater. Roxy adds a relaxed, sporty vibe, while Noisy May sweaters often feature interesting textures.
-
Result: A warm, comfortable, and trendy look for the city streets.
2. Elegance and Status: Guess/Tommy Jacket + Vero Moda/Only Knit
If you are heading to the office or a more formal event, a sporty style won't do.
-
Outer Layer: Choose a Guess jacket with a belt that accentuates the figure, or a classic Tommy Hilfiger coat.
-
Inner Layer: Under these jackets, you need something more refined. Vero Moda and Only offer classic, fine knits and turtlenecks that don't make you feel "bulky" but keep the heat in.
-
Result: You look elegant both with the jacket on and off.
3. Men's Armor: Jack & Jones (Jacket + Sweater)
Men like simplicity, and Jack & Jones delivers it perfectly. In our store, you can build a full look from one brand:
-
Put on a thick, textured Jack & Jones sweater or a modern Tommy Jeans logo sweater.
-
Throw a windproof Jack & Jones parka over it.
-
Result: Scandinavian quality guaranteeing you won't get cold even on long walks.
4. The Heat "Bomb": Superdry + Chunky Knit
For those days when the thermometer hits -15°C.
-
Superdry jackets are famous for their technical insulation.
-
Combine it with the thickest sweater from our selection (we have great models from Vila and JJXX).
-
This combination won't let the cold in even by a millimeter.
Why buy a set at an outlet? Usually, in shopping malls, a good winter jacket costs 100-200 EUR, and a quality brand sweater another 50-80 EUR. At our outlet, you can often get both the jacket and the sweater for the price of just one jacket bought elsewhere.
Come visit, try on different combinations, and be 100% ready for Riga's winter!
