Second winter is coming, New York, and so is the semi-annual realization that most of our “cozy” clothes make us look like we’ve fully given up. Enter: Elwood’s Heavyweights Collection, the loungewear drop that understands the assignment — warm, structured, effortlessly cool, and comfortable enough to live in. This is your seasonal transition uniform, minus the part where you look like you’ve been marinating on the couch for three days straight.

This year, the best-selling Core Collection gets a cool-weather upgrade with 510 GSM 100% organic cotton fleece interlining. Translation: insanely soft, ridiculously warm, and structured in all the right ways. The fits are tailored but not tight, the weight is substantial without being stiff, and the vibe is luxury without trying too hard. Plus, the color palette is peak monochrome perfection: classic Coal, fresh winter white Pearl, and the rich, moody Burgundy we’re seeing everywhere this season.

Elwood only drops these limited edition Heavyweights once a year, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. So, if you want to avoid the regret spiral of missing out (again), now’s the time to upgrade your wardrobe. Below are the five pieces you’ll be reaching for on repeat.

This hoodie’s tagline is, “I’ll never let you down.” Made from our thickest, softest fabric yet from Elwood, it features longer sleeves, a cinched waistband for that perfect bubble-like fit, and an ultra-soft fleece interior that feels like a hug from a cloud. Whether you’re layering it under a coat or wearing it solo, it’s the effortlessly cool staple you won’t want to take off (and honestly, you won’t have to).

A crewneck that cleans up nice. This one swaps out the usual sweatshirt neckline for a polo collar with two-tone buttons, instantly making it feel like you put in the effort (even if you didn’t). The slightly tapered hem adds a refined touch, making it easy to dress up with trousers or throw on with sweatpants and still look put together. The vibe? Effortlessly upgraded.

Not all sweats are created equal. These have a straight-leg, slightly oversized fit with an extended inseam for that perfect stacked effect at the shoe (or simply making them long enough for us tall folks). No elastic cuffs here, just a clean-finish hem that makes them feel more “chic, off-duty model” and less “I just rolled out of bed.” Ideal for styling with a tailored coat, a crisp tee, or (let’s be real) the matching hoodie.

The secret to a solid transitional wardrobe? A great long-sleeve tee. This one is made from thick cotton jersey, meaning it drapes just right — no weird clinging and awkward stiffness, just clean lines and an easy, oversized fit. Whether you’re layering it under your hoodie or wearing it solo, it’s the no-brainer essential that works with literally everything.

Yes, a short-sleeve tee belongs in a winter/transitional collection because sometimes you need a solid base layer that still holds its own when the jacket comes off. This one has the same thick cotton jersey as its long-sleeve sibling, giving it that structured, premium feel. Tuck it into jeans, layer it under the crewneck, or throw it on with sweats — the options are endless.
