New York Fashion Week has come and gone, and alongside the many shows and presentations this season were some seriously great street style looks that carried our editors through back-to-back appointments, cocktail hours, and late-night dinners. With a winter storm in the Northeast and a few early signs of spring, our team came prepared to brave the city’s slick streets in bold outer layers, cleverly layered over practical base pieces.
The outfits below, anchored by standout outerwear, are a welcome reminder that personal style doesn’t have to hibernate in winter—dressing for February can be just as expressive as September with the right pieces.
Take Vogue’s head of editorial content, Chloe Malle, for example. She embraced a statement leopard coat, styling it with a red turtleneck, classic denim, and her signature The Row suede booties. Fashion market director Naomi Elizée cut through the winter gloom with a runway-inspired color-blocked look. Meanwhile, executive fashion director Lisa Aiken mastered downtown edge in a funnel-neck leather jacket from Khaite, light-wash jeans, her signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and sleek black boots.
What these looks share is their effortless, wearable appeal. For more editor-approved layering lessons—starting with the coat—keep scrolling.
Chloe Malle, head of editorial content
Street style has gone wild for leopard this season. As seen on Malle, she styles her statement coat with layered knits—a black crewneck over a red turtleneck—and classic jeans. Finished with gold hoops and an Alaïa bag, the look strikes a balance between bold and refined.
Naomi Elizée, fashion market director
Elizée shows how to color-block for winter by mixing a trio of spring color trends: a purple turtleneck as a base, topped with a vibrant red knit and a grey leather coat. She completes the look with cobalt blue gloves and a charm-laden Balenciaga Le City bag.
Lisa Aiken, executive fashion director
For effortless polish, take inspiration from Lisa Aiken’s leather funnel-neck jacket. Though hers is from an older Khaite collection, Nour Hammour offers a similar style. Paired with a black knit, denim trousers, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and kitten-heel boots, the formula feels timeless yet current.Virginia Smith, global head of fashion network
Smith demonstrates tonal dressing the Vogue way, pairing warm brown and olive shades in contrasting textures—wool, velvet, and leather—for visual cohesion. A black Balenciaga City bag provides a final focal point.

Nicole Phelps, global director of Vogue Runway and Vogue Business
When you can’t decide on a coat, why not wear two at once? It’s a concept Sacai—the Japanese label known for hybridized outerwear and a staple in Phelps’s wardrobe—understands well. Here, she pairs hers with a ribbed camel cardigan and tailored wide-leg trousers. Simple black accessories give the look an overall sensible ease.

Talia Abbas, shopping director
No winter wardrobe is complete without shearling.

Luxe texture, effortless execution.
