The proximity to sea and snow explains why it’s so often called “The Great” Pacific Northwest. Rain fuels creative clothing choices and style that are northwest nature inspired at their core. Seattle brands Spacecraft and Holden design clothes to move us from mountain to beach and city in between. These three favorites perform on the slopes, seaside and nearly anywhere else we’d like to be (coffee shop, anyone?).
Holden Grace Jacket Holden’s Grace Jacket was crafted for Mother Nature’s worst, best and everything between. Warm and waterproof, this military inspired piece is as at home shopping at Pike’s Place Market as it is snowboarding on Mt. Hood or scrambling on Haystack Rock. The not-so-simple details elevate this jacket’s credentials. Think: pockets, a powder skirt and drawstrings galore. Testers learned the longer silhouette works with skinny jeans and ski boots.
Best For: Looking good, no matter the conditions.
Holden Sherpa Pullover Cozy enough for the cabin and polished enough to pull together an easy Saturday look, we’re in love with the Sherpa Pullover. A tester favorite from eco-friendly Holden, durable fleece and a high neck ward off the daily drizzle; zip and button details stand out. Holden’s dedication to timeless, functional outerwear means clothes we long to wear.
Best For: Long walks on the beach (seriously).
Spacecraft Juniper Pom Beanie Stitched from a super soft blend of acrylic and wool, this slouchy beanie is in line with the PNW’s woodsy aesthetic. Founded by a surfer and snow enthusiast, Spacecraft leads in style without forgetting function. Juniper Pom’s cable knit design and warm colors make it a thoughtful addition to a northwest wardrobe of black and gray.
Best For: Keeping noggins warm and stylish.
