Full disclosure: I'm still learning how to dress for New York winters (and winters in general). I talk about being cold in this newsletter a lot because I always am, so my journey towards mastering the art of dressing warm and chic seems like something worth sharing, especially in the event that I ever figure it out. I'm always looking for lessons in layering, taking notes from the passersby bundled up in this ever-stylish city. While we all find inspiration in our feeds, I find the most practical outfits ideas in the real world, where really cold temperatures have to be endured for more than just an outfit pic. Here are a few ways the city has taught me to layer this winter.

The Leggings & Trousers.
First of all, do not make the mistake of wearing loose-fitting pants without a legging layered underneath. To avoid feeling bulky while layering up, pair the duo with a ribbed turtleneck and belted trench coat.
|
|
The Shirt, Shacket, & Aviator Jacket.
Bored of your sweater and sweatshirt rotation? Apparently, you can make button-ups and blouses work in the cold, too, by piling the right layers on top (and a thermal underneath, if you need). Wool shackets and shearling-lined coats are ideal options in this scenario.

|
The Turtleneck, Crewneck, & Puffer.
Make use of all the new sweatshirts you’ve acquired over quarantine with my favorite of-the-moment combo: Layer a crewneck over a turtleneck and add a handful of necklaces (and a puffer, realistically) on top.
|
|
The Sweatshirt & Vest.
Vests? Absolutely coming back. With gorpcore going mainstream, expect utilitarian trends like these to continue all year. They'll give you a cool new way to wear all your quarantine sweatsuits to the grocery store, too.
|
|
The Cami, Cardigan, & Coat.
When it comes to a girls' night or a date night in, not all layering pieces are equal. Swap your functional heattech layers for a semi-functional, totally flirty bodysuit, add a few cozy knit layers, then bundle up with all your winter accessories for an irresistibly cute look.
