Nothing beats being curled up next to fireplace, enjoying a gorgeous mountain view, and kicking back in some broken-in jeans and boots that time and wear have ‘tailored’ just for you.

You don’t need a country house, but it would be nice, to get a piece of Country Casual in your life—or your closet, at least.

It’s the same rough and rugged outdoorsy country casual feel with fine-designed edges, and no need to rake the leaves.

Think of it as fake so you don’t have to rake it!

Go for plaid shirts, buffalo check trapper hats, faux fur trim, loose battered jeans, thermal layers, the look of well-worn boots, and lots of chunky knits.

Your color palette is earthy with hints of tobacco, ruby, heather gray, rich flannel, and deep olive. It’s country casual with a hint of heritage, you may have just bought these rough and ready clothes but they look like you’ve worn them and loved them for a lifetime of style.

As the winter chill hits, layer on a puffy coat or sheepskin jacket, add a chunky knit cowl and you’re good to go. TGIF never looks so down-to-earth.
