You can now sport the “mountain look” without feeling frumpy in men’s clothes. Think canvas style work pants and flannel shirts mixed with the fitted, polished look that makes us girls still feel like we have a figure. Mountain Khakis, a brand based out of Jackson Hole Wyoming, has a new line of women’s clothing for the 2013/14 Fall-Winter season that does all of this. Here are just a few of the highlights from the collection.
Women’s Peaks Flannel
Indeed, flannel is back in fashion on the runways this season and in response to a survey done by Mountain Khakis where “60 percent of female respondents saying that wearing a flannel shirt makes them feel adventure,” they addressed this and designed the Mountain Khaki Peak Flannel. For me, this shirt became my go-to shirt for Fall Saturdays at the Farmer’s Market, dress down day at work and a night out with some friends at the brewery. Made with a little bit of lycra for a bit of stretch, it is also fitted for a more flattering, sleek female look. Paired with jeans, or even black leggings and high boots, this shirt easily becomes a staple in your cold weather wardrobe.
Women’s Old Faithful Sweater
Call it a sweater or call it a jacket. Call it what you will, but Mountain Khaki’s Old Faithful Sweater will certainly become your “Old Faithful” layer. This sweater actually feels like a jacket and although warm, would work well as an added layer on cool summer nights under the stars. This is a heathered cotton jacket without the pills. It has a stylish fit that flatters and I have received many compliments on this at work.
I really enjoyed the cuffs that have two snaps for varying degrees of snugness and when rolled up have a western flair that give the sweater or jacket, whatever you prefer to call it, a little bit of sass.
Women’s Rendezvous Quarter Zip
Worn alone or used as a baselayer to keep you warm out on the ski slopes or snowshoeing, this shirt boasts a lot of warmth. Made with Merino wool, with an easy washable fabric, this shirt is ready to go whenever you are. I enjoyed the flattering look, the breast pocket and the thumbholes in the sleeves. I would size up in ordering this, as it can fit a bit snug, although very warm. This also comes in a flattering V-neck as well.
