So we’re closing in on the holidays, the mercury’s dropped to chilly and the days are noticeably shorter. With holiday baking, travelling, afternoons wrapped in a blanket reading a book or binge-watching shows, winter is the season of getting cozy.

I love comfortable, breathable clothes when relaxing — wherever in the world I am. Roots sweats are thick, soft and easy to wear and layer.

In time for both cozy cabin and winter getaway season, I picked out a cute pair of cabin slim cuff sweatpants from the new Cabin collection as well as a classic zippered hoody to complement them, both for women (though there’s a large assortment of similar items available for men and kids), all inspired by the Canadian outdoors.

Roots Salt and Pepper Original Full Zip Hoody

Made from super-soft fleece (55% cotton, 45% polyester blend), Roots Original Zip Hoody has a double-lined drawstring hood to keep you warm with front pockets.
CAD $82

Roots Cabin Slim Cuff Sweatpants

Those cuffs had me the moment I laid eyes on them. Iconic red and off-white, the Cabin Slim Cuff Sweatpants evoke Canada’s cabin culture and are super soft. Cotton-blended fleece (60% cotton, 40% polyester) wears well and it’s hard to imagine a more comfortable wardrobe staple for flights.

Inside the waistband is a small pouch that’s ideal for stowing a few bills and coins (or a set of keys) on the go. The grey with red and white stripe motif also recalls memories of the sock monkey!

Part of the Roots Cabin Collection, these sweet, cuffed sweatpants come in Salt & Pepper (lighter grey, red logo) and Black Pepper (black/white with white logo).
CAD $74

Both pieces are available in sizes XXS to XL.

Visit Roots online for the current collection. And if you’re in Vancouver, don’t miss the new Roots Enhanced Experience Store at Pacific Centre.

It’s only one of three in the world to offer a leather customization shop, lounge plus themed dressing rooms that honour the scenic beauty of Algonquin Park.

The store includes Canadian-made millwork and local reclaimed wood in its interior design as well as a handmade canoe with decorative paddles.
