winter fashion

Not that we need to remind you, but it's Winter, which means it's not exactly fun to be outside (if you happen to be weathering snowy, sleeting, rainy, freezing conditions, that is). And while we thoroughly miss the sun's rays, we also really love seeing our favorite celebrities showing off their sleek plays on bundled-up "couture." Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Sarah Jessica Parker to Rachel Weisz to Jessica Chastain has taken to layering up in the most luxurious coats, hats, boots, gloves, scarves — the works. What's more, they're also supplying us with subzero styling cues beyond enviable outerwear and killer boots. Head inside to witness more than 60 celebs rocking Winter looks that you can work into your own cold-weather wardrobe now.

When the snowstorm put its icy damper on New York Fashion Week, our first thought was: well now what do we wear? And while the photos show, snow is no match for our favorite street-style fixtures, the lesson learned here is actually quite useful as we finish out the last of the cold months. Herein find the looks worn during the height of Nemo that proved both slick in outfit appeal and in functionality. We're skipping the open-toed sandals, the impractical minidress statements, and anything else that looks great, but won't work for our wintry real-life purposes. Click through and get inspired on how to look chic — even if and when you're dressing for really bad weather.

The Fall '13 runways have supplied a steady stream of undeniably gorgeous outerwear, causing some serious coat lust all around. And today, we're taking a closer look at the most luxurious, the most wearable, and the most innovative outerwear to show so far. Rebecca Minkoff sent out a plethora of updated aviator jackets, adorned with fur-trimmed collars, tweed panels, and leather trimming — a jacket, in short, made for the downtown-cool girl. Helmut Lang provided another round of minimalist wares, 3.1 Phillip Lim made a strong case for pink, Altuzarra gave us Cruella de Vil black-and-white fur, and Prabal Gurung sent out an army of beautifully embroidered utilitarian parkas. See the best outerwear fresh from the Fall '13 runways here.

With more than 224 snaps in tow, we're resolving to give our look a serious upgrade, even in the dead of Winter. We may not be able to wish away the chill, but we can embrace the drop in temperatures with some apropos styling tactics that are as chic as they are cozy. This set makes use of all of our favorite trends, like oxblood hues (of course), high-tops, and sleek leather layers, to help shape a more style-minded outlook on the Winter dress code. There's even a high-fashion tilt, with some bundled-up street-style moments straight from Couture Week in Paris. And if you're lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine year-round, there's more than a handful of ways to style up your bare-legged Winter wear with a fresh set of eyes, too — like adding booties to your floral dresses or a vintage t-shirt to a ladylike skirt. In short, no matter what the season brings (snow, ice, rain, or shine), let these snaps serve as a reminder to make this your most stylish Winter ever.
