A New Yorker’s Winter Survival Guide

When it comes to dressing the part for cold weather, there’s some element of advance planning that’s required. To start, coats and boots need to be purchased well before you’ll actually slip either on. For longtime New Yorker and goop contributing fashion editor, Anne Keane, her investment strategy is simple: “Invest in a good coat, because it’s the only thing anyone will see you in from November through March,” she says. Here, Anne’s guide to keep you covered this winter—down to every last layer.

• “
A go-with-everything coat is the key to being able to run out the door without so much as a glance in the mirror.”

  Pulling on a chunky cashmere turtleneck is its own reward for braving the elements yet still manages to dress up a casual jeans-and-hiking-boots pairing. A heavy-duty parka does the rest of the work in terms of keeping you toasty, while fingerless gloves are quite simply a go-to when you’re on the move. A pro tip: Look for outerwear with generously sized armholes for easy layering.

• “The truth is, you need great looking workout pieces to help keep you inspired to get to the gym when it’s freezing out.”

  It’s best to opt for thin but purposeful layers so that you won’t overheat once your body temperature rises. This lightweight cropped sweatshirt is full-coverage, breathable base layer to help regulate your body heat, while the zip-up fleece is an extra-cozy layer with a handy front zip pocket (clutch for stashing your phone and credit card) when you’re out and about.
