Snow doesn't mean you can't be sophisticated — take notes and add a water-resistant trench and sleek boots.

Battle the chill with a beanie and smart layers.

Winter storms are exactly why they make coats this luxurious. Just bundle up.

You're blizzard ready with a wide-brim hat and a Winter-white coat.

Fight serious cold with your warmest jacket. Make it feel stylish, rather than outdoors ready, with something bright underneath and chic accessories.

Durable jeans are a smart style statement for breezy days. Plus, chunky loafers and booties are easy for snowy treading.

With more surface area, wedges will offer better stability and traction than spindly heels.

If you've ever experienced the unique sensation of snow flying up and into your boots, you know it's none too pretty. Stave off the issue by wearing pants instead of tights and making sure they tuck into your shoes.

But sometimes, you've just gotta completely ignore the snow and really go for it.

When you're playing it safe with shoes and bottoms, your outerwear can be a fun place to bring in some pattern or color.

Even (relatively) sensible accessories can feel more fashion-forward when done in bright hues.

This orange-on-orange look is proof that even the practical puffer can be chic. Wear on the next snow day, and rejoice.

If mucky, muddy streets and sidewalks equal zero chance of trotting out your fancy heels, use your clothing to really make a statement.

A creamy coat is a sharp style for dark days, and a crossbody is all the better for leaving hands free to deal with umbrellas.

Worn with a ladylike midi skirt, even practical snow boots take on a chic edge.

The chicest of the chic can still work for tricky weather, so long as you skip over anything that'll be too encumbering for movement.

For days that require serious bundling up, you can at least add a playful touch with a peek of bright neon. We love this turtleneck!

The truly adventurous turn to outdoorsy-inspired stilettos when the flakes start falling.

OK, this look isn't really the safest for snow-covered terrain, but you've gotta hand it to her — she looks good!

Chunky, short boots are both on-trend and a smart grab for when you know you'll be covering ground that's far from friendly to heels.

These statement boots are snowbank-OK thanks to a wide base and metallic accents that won't be harmed if they get wet.

Classic pieces like a camel coat and luxe black bag always work, while a knee-high boot is the perfect warm and cute choice for a chilly Winter.

Thank goodness sneakers and the like were approved by the style set [2]: a girlie outfit that would normally pair with pumps looks great here with flat lace-ups.

And when slush gets too bad, your best bet is to go with seen-better-days shoes that won't mind the rough treatment.

Good news: when weather gets iffy, even hiking boots become totally outfit-appropriate.

Winter white juxtaposes well against freshly fallen powder.

If a slice of ankle will be visible in your pants-and-shoes combo, add an extra layer with socks. It's as sartorially on point as it is smart.

For blustery days, a fur accent is just as glam as it is warm.

Layer, layer, layer — and pick a signature bright to add a pop to the dreariest of blizzards.

Low temperatures are the perfect excuse for plenty of boxy, oversize layers.

Fight snowfall by making an umbrella part of your general look. Bonus points if it's as chic as this one.

Sometimes, the only way to get through truly soul-crushing weather is to brighten things up with your outfit.

Are those patent-leather heels we spy? The water-resistant material is smarter than leather for dealing with snowflakes.
