Ah, it’s that wonderful time of the year in New York when temperatures are in the negatives, streets are un-plowed, and there seems to be a constant wind chill that numbs your face. While winter in this city can be miserable, there are certain essentials everyone should have to help them beat the cold on campus, while still staying fashionable!
First things first in order to beat the cold on campus: get that winter coat. I know it seems like spring will be here soon, but a big, warm coat is absolutely necessary to stay warm now. Parkas and puffy coats are your best bet for wrapping up and keeping the cold out.
What’s the perfect accessory for over that parka? A big, warm blanket scarf of course. A scarf is not only the perfect way to block out the wind when you’re trekking across campus, but also a great way to add some flair to your look.
Don’t forget about keeping your ears warm too! Beanies are another great way to stay warm while also staying fashionable. With countless options like chunky knits, pompoms and fur trimmed, you’re bound to make a statement.
Rain boots, snow boots, tall boots, short boots; you name it, they’re necessary. Whether the paths are slippery from ice, flooded from rain or unplowed from snow, a good pair of boots are going to be your best friend for getting to class.
Texting gloves are just what you need to make the journey from your dorm a little more bearable. This way your hands stay warm, and you can still capture that perfect Insta of a snow covered campus.
