How to Dress for NYC Winter Like a Local—Stylish, Layered, and Weather-Proof

NYC winters are brutal; icy winds that are bone chilling, icy sidewalks and freezing temperatures. Your outfits, however, do not have to be bulky and boring. 

Personally, I enjoy the quintessential New York street style which consists of long wool overcoats, chunky scarves, and sleek boots. Toasty and fashionable turtlenecks, tights, and thermals add additional, flirty layers.

On extremely cold days, puffer jackets are a must; they are best in belted style which gives a more put together look. Top it with a winter beanie and bold sunglasses. 

You are ready to strut and brave the cold. NYC winters are all about looking and feeling your best while keeping cozy. 

These outfits, while turning sartorial and sleek heads, will help you look chic while snow strutting through crosswalks.
