New Yorkers Take Their Outerwear Game Seriously—30 Styles I'm Seeing Everywhere
Let's be honest. No one really loves when it starts to get cold out. But one thing we can all get excited about is updating our outerwear collections. Great coats and jackets are the back bones to a successful fall/winter wardrobe, and no one knows this better than New Yorkers. In NYC, the fall and winter are kind of like the fashion olympics. We don't mess around when it comes to stellar outerwear. I mean, if you're lucky, you could run into Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner sharing pasta at Via Carota, and you wouldn't want to be caught doing so in bad outerwear. That would be devastating. But not to worry. I've rounded up 30 super-chic coats and jackets that will elevate any fall or winter outfit while still keeping you warm.
Keep scrolling to see which jackets and coats made my list.
