As a lifelong New Yorker, you’d think I’d be prepared when a polar vortex pops up unexpectedly every winter. I’m no stranger to inches of snow leading to school closings. I’ve even braved sub-zero temperatures to dance the night away at a winter birthday party or two. HoweverI am surprised every time everyone when an arctic blast unleashes incredibly strong winds and extreme cold. I immediately start spiraling and wondering how the hell I’m going to keep warm when I have so many places to walk. It is modern and cozy there winter essentials came more conveniently.
As I write this post, the weather in New York is currently 13 degrees, but it feels like 2 degrees. It’s not just the Northeast. Cities like New Orleans and Houston have seen historic snow. Since many of us we feel the wrath of Old Man Winter, it’s only right that we’re dressed to impress, but it’s more important to stay warm. I rounded up newly released winter essentials from retailers like Amazon, Nordstrom, Walmart, and Abercrombie & Fitch for a chic and cozy wardrobe. See which pieces made the cut below!
