Street Chic: Downtown to Midtown, January

While it may be tempting to bury yourself in a plain black puffer jacket for the fifth day in a row, these fashionable folks prove that you can still look stylish in the cold. Layers are obviously key, but these women and men are paying a lot of attention to coats and accessories, seemingly dressing from the outside layer in. Start with a good coat or interesting bag you may have been neglecting this winter and try building the rest of your look around that.

Layers of Gray, 14th Street

A sculptural, mannishly-tailored coat is a cool Calvin Klein-esque look when paired with skinny black jeans and a gray sweatshirt. The alligator bag ensures that the whole look isn’t too casual.

Cinched Waist Coat, 14th Street

There’s a lot to love here – the cinched-waist coat matches the puff of her dress, and the suede lace up boots are the same violet as her knit hat.

Men's Fur Hat, 14th Street

Blame it on Jay-Z, but somehow I am not sick of big fur hats on men yet.

Professorial Look, 14th Street

A plaid blazer and oxblood briefcase are the basis for a professorial look.

Antique Chic, 42nd Street

Love the granny chic of the vintage fur-collar coat with lace up boots – but the slouchy knit hat puts this look squarely in 2010.

Un-Basic Black, 42nd Street

One of the best things about her look? She didn’t dress down because of the cold – very Carine. Sexy black high heel boots paired with leggings and a Chanel bag are warm yet very unbasic black.

Black with RayBans, 42nd Street

A black motorcycle jacket over a long, heavy knit sweater and super skinny black jeans creates a layered look with edge. The sunglasses, the latest RayBans to become a hit again 20 years later, are a new, retooled version of the classic RayBan Clubmaster ($139).

Swingy Fur Coat, 42nd Street

Short and swingy is the best way to wear a fur coat now.

Colorful Accessories, 42nd Street

The daring color combination of chartreuse scarf with red gloves and pea green boots makes an otherwise basic navy coat pop.
