A Beginner's Guide To Dressing For Cold Weather

It was rainy and disappointingly cold on day two of NYFW, but that doesn't mean anyone wore a boring old trench coat to match the disgusting day; quite the opposite, actually. Everyone brought their A game in terms of rainy day wear—and matched the rest of their outfit to their outerwear. Most people didn't abandon the bright colors from yesterday, either. As a wearer of the same fluffy black coat each winter, I have a thing or two to learn about dressing for the weather from the street style stars of day two.

Below, learn how to appropriately dress for the weather with me, and get some major jacket envy with our favorite street style looks from NYFW day two.
