Blizzard-Proof Outfit Ideas!

Important as it is to stay warm and dry in a snowstorm, you’d like to look stylish, too. Make it happen with the five awesome winter-ready outfits ahead.
 Bryan Wool Coat, $199, Babaton, us.aritzia.com; Abstracted Down Vest, $647.50, Tess Giberson, farfetch.com; Stretch Matchstick Jean In White, $105, jcrew.com; Carson Striped Cashmere Beanie, $150, Rag & Bone,
 Yes, you really can wear white out there! The trick: Keep to classic cold-weather silhouettes made from heavy, practical materials, and layer in as many pieces as possible—an undershirt beneath a sweater, under a vest, with a jacket on top—for a snuggly, multi-textured look. Since the effect is so soft and romantic, it’s best not to mix in any black. Touches of light gray, cream and chocolate brown, however, totally work.
 Heritage Backpack In Buffalo Plaid/Black Rubber, $54.99, herschelsupply.com; Cashmere Winter Stole, $295, cuyana.com; Essential Tights, $119, susanamonaco.com; Elbow Patch cashmere sweater, $460, Chinti + Parker, net-a-porter.com; Unisex Cuffed Acrylic Lined Beanie, $20, americanapparel.com; New Classic Shirtdress, $215, stevenalan.com; The Fingerless Glove, $40, everlane.com; Keswick Parka, $263, penfield.com; Adirondack Boot II, $220, uggaustralia.com
 Wearing a dress sounds impractical during a blizzard, but it’s actually a great way to avoid soggy pant cuffs. Staying warm hinges on your legs (the most exposed part of your body), so consider swapping the tights for thick leggings. From there, you’ll want a parka that hits below the waist and some luxe fur-lined booties.
 Camel Sheepskin Finger Cut-Off Gloves, $165, mackage.com; 'Sloane' jeans, $366.70, Rag & Bone/JEAN, farfetch.com; Scaven Bag, $1,128 ilbisonte.com; Tulip Knee Hi Socks, $18, hanselfrombasel.com; Heattech Fleece Turtleneck Long Sleeve Tee, $9.90, uniqlo.com; Beaker Pom Pom Beanie, $66, ingodwetrustnyc.com; Team Player Sweatshirt, $165, apc.fr; Bomber Jacket With Fur, $79.99, zara.com; Original Slim Zip Wellington Boots, $195, hunterboots.comFor a more interesting take on the standard denim and sweatshirt ensemble, add a turtleneck layer, and pick jeans with distressing (but no actual holes—this is no time for exposing bare skin!). If you don’t have any snow boots on hand, regular old wellies are an equally excellent option when layered with long socks.

 Kimono Sleeve Coat, $103, cos, cosstores.com; Kayou Long Gloves, $11.37, Pieces, us.asos.com; Premium Jet Pocket Cigarette Trousers, $44, us.topshop.com; Lux Jersey Hat, $150, helmutlang.com; Slim Signature Blouse In Aerial Crane Peint, $258, equipment, equipmentfr.com; Sheepskin Gilet, $950, whistles.com; Moyen Messenger Bag, $524, clarev.com; LR Rain Fenton, $195, loefflerrandall.com
 This one’s your best bet for heading into the office. The weatherproof black boots are streamlined enough to wear with work trousers all day, and the fur vest makes a regular non-parka coat arctic weather-ready. To feel even cozier, go for extra-long gloves; they'll protect your wrists from unnecessary blasts of cold.

 Fluff Pullover Sweater, $229, rebeccataylor.com; Ivory Cashmere Pom Pom Beanie, $285, Inverni, avenue32.com; Arabella fluted woven mini skirt, $450, Issa, net-a-porter.com; No 1 cashmere tights, £170 (about $256.49), Falke, selfridges.com; Faux Fur Jacket, $79.95, hm.com; Rain & Cold weather boots, $375, Burberry, shoescribe.com; MINI BOWLING BAG, $195, & other stories, stories.com

A fur coat and cashmere tights are lifesavers if you’ve got some sort of dinner or cocktail party to attend—both pack extra warmth with minimal bulk. After that, strategically placed accessories are the best way to stay toasty. There’s no limit: The pom pom beanie here is an excellent start, but leather gloves, woolen socks and a giant muffler are worth throwing on, too. (Hey, it’s all going to coat check anyway!)
