Aspen, CO -- A late Food and Wine festival capped off the summer season here in Aspen back in September. As the tents from Food and Wine came down, the leaves, temperatures, and tourist numbers followed suit. A much welcomed new season came to town and made us realize why we love Aspen so much. No matter how crazy things are in the world, Aspen always reminds us that nature is in charge and we must constantly adapt. Failure to adapt will lead to literal and figurative cold feet. As we adapt to the fall season, we invite you to join us and share some of our favorite experiences here in the Silver City.
Speaking of cold feet, it's time to put away your summer clothes. Fall in the Rocky Mountains includes brisk daytime temperatures with lots of sunshine and cold, starry nights. Another reason to love fall in Aspen is the chance to wear a Cowichan sweater almost every day.
Our Cowichan sweaters paired with our signature 501s and new Kilim clogs are all you will need for an autumn day and night in Aspen.
Shop Vintage 501 Denim (Please DM us on IG or email us info@resipsausa.com to see more inventory from our retail locations)
Add a beaver pelt hat to look like a true local.
Hopefully this list will get your trip off to a great start. Come see us at Res Ipsa 505 E. Hyman Ave for your day 2 itinerary!
