Arctic Endeavors

Pepper+Pistol Clothing

Has summer left you searching for a new cold-weather conquest? (There’s always something to complain about.)

An expedition north might be what you want after summer’s soaring temps. But for now, channel all that mushing and swishing and shivering toward arctic-inspired clothing from Williamsburg newcomer Pepper+Pistol.

Created by two feisty German friends with a fierce eye and wicked sense of humor, Pepper+Pistol’s line includes feminine dresses, chunky hooded cardigans, and purple tunics that can be layered with jersey leggings to keep you warm (when necessary).

In their nod-to-the-north fantasy collection, patterns of seals and walruses frolic among polar ice floats. Bubblegum pink and deep purple provide pops of color against jet-black backgrounds. And there’s plenty of snowy white to keep things cheery.

Even if the mercury is far from zero.

Available at Eva, 227 Mulberry Street, between Prince and Spring Streets (212-925-3208 or evanewyork.com). To see styles, go to pepperandpistol.com.
