Street Style: Winter Hues

Because you know your winter wardrobe could use a little inspiration.

When faced with a winter like this, waking up in the morning is sufficiently heartbreaking. Checking the weather app while you’re still cozy in bed inflicts some more damage. But knowing you’ll have to get out of your pajamas and into layers of clothes really does the trick. And even when you’re protected beneath layers of cotton, wool, and cashmere, you’re still afraid to brave the frozen streets.

Not everyone relies on the bundle-of-cloth look, however. Some people deal with the icy pain by prioritizing style before practicality. Maybe feeling good distracts you from the forceful wind brushing against your bare skin, right? We headed around town to gauge the strength of the city’s street style. Here are some favorite looks:
