10 Winter Layering Ideas From the Streets of New York

If there's one thing New Yorkers know how to do, it's layer. And whether it's pairing a silk camisole with a cashmere sweater or rotating in cozy accessories like a pom-pom

beanie, the possibilities are limitless. Layering will protect you from the frigid weather, but it'll also prepare you for indoor heating where you'll quickly need to peel layers off.

The biggest trends spotted from New York winter street style? Puffer coats and, of course, the classic wool coat. Puffers are one of winter's most popular trends, and they're being expertly paired with sweaters for a chic monochromatic look, while wool coats are getting an update with oversize plaid blazers underneath.

The most important key of layering, however, is what's all the way underneath: hidden innerwear. Uniqlo's Heattech tank tops, leggings, and socks are winter’s unsung heroes. They allow you to stay warm without the bulk of traditional winter items and let you wear your most fashionable items all season long. Pair Heattech innerwear with a turtleneck and teddy coat for the perfect New York winter outfit.
