Cold weather has never stopped New Yorkers from dressing up. More layers simply mean more opportunities for color, texture, style — and trends. And this winter, the streets are particularly filled with life.

The humble puffer coat, for example, is now a three-dimensional art object of all shapes and sizes. Staples like fur and shearling have also been reinterpreted, with faux-everything offering some relief for all the vegans out there. Finally, New Yorkers also seem to have opened their minds to shades other than black. It’s a new dawn, out there. So bundle up.

This season, we sent photographer Landon Nordeman to capture the city’s most thrilling winter style.
