Dressing for New York in the winter is a fairly easy task, if your goal is to stay warm and look good while doing so.
Many people mistakenly assume that cold weather equals puffy down jackets and the ubiquitous Uggs. That’s actually not the case at all, at least in the cases where snow isn’t present. When the temperature hits 32 degrees and below, that doesn’t mean it’s time to hibernate your fashion favorites. Instead, take advantage of the below freezing temperatures to express your fashion through cold weather favorites, such as Fair Isle prints, cozy cable knit sweaters, rugged flat boots and more.
Here are five fashion essentials to help you brave the New York weather this winter, in style. Bonus: items featured can be worn separately or together for an ultimate street chic outfit.
1. BB Dakota Keji Blanket Coat – Available at Urban Outfitters, this piece does double duty, keeping its promise to keep you warm, while ensuring you’ll be step into the spotlight in each hotpot you enter. The best part about purchasing a jacket this late in the season? Sales. Originally priced at $159, this coat is available now for $39.
2. Dolce Vita dv Marce Ankle Boot – From lazy Saturday strolls through the streets to weekday morning power walks to work, black flat boots are a must for cruising in comfort in New York.
