Sandy Edelstein understands all too well the desire to wrap ourselves up in winter clothes as if they were oversize blankets. But you don’t have to look slovenly.

A pair of fitted trousers — think elevated jogger, complete with drawstring — called The Flog that you can wear as easily on a Netflix-and-chill night as you can when you are out and about.
