The Top 20 Winter Trends NYC It Girls Use to Hack the Weather

Winter has hit New York City in full force. I’m once again getting used to waking up to a “feels like” temperature of 19 degrees, the radiator in my pre-war Brooklyn apartment sounding like a Victorian ghost is trapped inside. It’s the type of miserable cold where I step outside and feel it in the marrow of my bones.

That won’t stop me from wearing a slip dress and slingback heels to Marie Claire’s Manhattan office, though. We New Yorkers are known for our grit and resolve. We don’t let circumstances beyond our control dictate how we show up in our lives. For NYC’s fashion crowd, that means wearing what we want, when we want to—regardless of what Mother Nature has in store.
