Growing up in the suburbs of Boston taught me that during the winter season quality of clothes mattered more than their looks. Going to college in upstate New York, four hours from the Canadian border has taught me how to look fashionable while managing not getting frost bite. Over the past few months, I have helped prep my college friends from the west coast, the deep south, and international from warm climates on snow and what to wear when it is snowing out. Here are the best brands and option for those cold winter days, after all, it did snow 27 inches in Syracuse New York over Thanksgiving!
.Make sure you get the thermal layered one for extra warmth!
Patagonia
Literally anything from Patagonia will keep you warm. I love their fleeces that you can wear under your thick coats.
Coats
For winter jackets it mostly depends on the style rather than the brand. The best style is long coats that go past your thighs and have multiple layers. Brands like Northface, Canadian Goose, and Columbia have great coats. And don't forget a hood!
Hunter boots with hunter socks
For cold rainy days, long hunter boots with their socks will keep you from slipping and keep your feet warmer than regular rain boots
Peacoat
For formal events, peacoats are the way to go.
Accessories
To avoid hat hair but still keeping your ears warm wear over the ear headbands.
To pair with bean boots wear cute wool socks, I recommend J. Crew, L.L.Bean , Urban Outfitters or the Banana Republic
Have a fashionable and warm winter!
