Great Scot

Jo Gordon Knitwear

You’re all for making a sultry entrance. Too bad your winter striptease (whip off knit cap, unwind scarf, deglove with teeth) is more chapped Michelin Man than Gina Lollobrigida.

The alternative: look good leaving it on with the sweetest scarves, caps, and gloves from Scotswoman Jo Gordon. Updated from traditional Scottish designs and handmade from soft spun lambswool, the accessories have popped up everywhere from Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons exhibitions to British Vogue.

If you buy directly from her site, you’ll find many styles on sale. Like opera mittens that are refined but not foppish. Knit gloves that coquettishly traverse the elbow. And oversize scarves that could peek demurely from your leather bomber.

Making a strong case for leaving a little to the imagination.
