Welcome to Let’s Get a Room, a series where editor Eliza Huber heads to the dressing room to try on pieces from your favorite retailers, buzzy items, and new collections. Think of this column as a detailed guide to the pieces that are actually worth buying and the ones that, unfortunately, looked better online—no returns necessary.
Despite growing up in Chicago, a city most known for its controversial pizza and tragically cold winters, I’ve never been one to dress for the weather. For example, my senior year of high school was the third coldest in the city’s history, with an average temperature of 18.8°. Yet I refused to wear anything more than a peacoat because, unlike all the actually warm coats, it was cute. And sadly, in the almost 10 years since, I haven’t exactly learned to dress smarter, not chicer.
It wasn’t until I heard about and subsequently saw photos from Reformation’s collaboration with Canada Goose that I started to think my lifelong distaste for practical outerwear could actually ease up. Full of cropped puffers, vests, and parkas—all of which are reversible (with one side being patterned with flowers, stripes, and more and the other being a solid color)—the collection is surprisingly stylish for its level of cold protection. I’d know. I test-drove most of its contents in real life.
Ahead of the opening of the collab’s pop-up at the St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colorado, I stopped in the retail space while on a trip with Canada Goose and wear-tested nine pieces from the brand-new collection. My take? Let’s just say that never again can I claim that practicality and aesthetic appeal are mutually exclusive. Scroll down to read all of my thoughts on the Canada Goose x Reformation outerwear I tried on.
