Though January is typically one of the coldest months in New York City, this year marks the coldest January in over a decade. As temperatures drop, many might feel they have to forfeit style for warmth. At Willow and Zoey, we believe you can have both. Our carefully curated collection ensures that the contemporary woman can layer up without compromising on style. Whether you're a busy mom or a creative soul navigating the city's bustling streets, our selection of chic, cozy pieces will keep you warm and stylish all winter long.
Top Half Layering
To avoid looking like a snowman this winter, it’s essential to be strategic with your base layers. Start your outfit with our Long Sleeve Essential Tee, available in taupe and ivory, or our Double Layer Pull-Over in cocoa, designed to lock in warmth effortlessly.
For the second layer, build up the fabric with a thick sweater. Our Cable Knit Merino Wool Sweater is the perfect choice, offering both warmth and comfort. The woven cable knit design adds a touch of timeless elegance, making it a versatile piece for any winter outfit.
Bottom Half Layering
Now, let’s switch to the bottom half of the outfit. With temperatures dipping into the single digits this January, one pair of pants often isn’t enough to keep warm. Adding a pair of our Matte Deluxe Stockings or Pure Matte Tights under your pants or jeans is a great way to keep your legs from freezing. When selecting the outer layer, consider opting for a wider leg style. Our Studded Wide Leg Jeans or Low-Rise Silver Metallic Cargo Pants are both stylish and practical options, offering extra room for layering without sacrificing flair.
Choosing the Right Winter Outerwear
And we can’t forget the most important part: the coat! At Willow and Zoey, we offer unique and stylish winter outerwear perfect for NYC’s frigid weather. Our coats strike the perfect balance between functionality and high fashion, ideal for a classic yet daring style. Our new Puffer Coat is a fantastic way to top off your outfit, featuring an attached interior layer to keep your chest extra warm without the need for an additional vest. For a more cropped look, the Faux Black and White Shearling Coat is another excellent option, combining warmth with a chic, modern aesthetic.
Let’s end the century-long debate, comment if you think denim or non-denim keeps you warmer in the winter.
Accessories: Essential to Complete Your Look
Winter accessories are the easiest way to pull your layered look together. A matching set, like a hat and scarf, can instantly upgrade your outfit. Our Oversized Faux Fur Hat and Waffle Knit Infinity Scarf make the perfect combo to pair with any of our jackets. Plus, a matching set always adds a nice, put-together vibe!
