Winter has officially arrived in New York, bringing a relentless chill this past week. The streets are now filled with a parade of puffer coats, scarves, and cozy layers—a charming contrast to the unseasonably warm 60-degree days we enjoyed just weeks ago. After receiving a bunch requests for winter essentials, I’ve put together exactly that below.

Chloe shearling clogs ($732), less expensive option in chocolate brown ($495) / shearling ballet flats, more sizes here and they come in black!!! ($660, I am going to try them on later) / Bogner black boot ($640), more Bogner favorites here ($660) and here ($433) / lined black boots ($450) / shearling sneakers ($278) / brown suede shearling lined boots ($1,225)

Cashmere socks (makes a great gift… no one wants to buy themselves cashmere socks):

  • Comme Si

  • Naked Cashmere

  • J. Crew

  • Stems

A few more favorites under $500:

  • I have never heard of this brand but these look like absolute heaven

  • These are the perfect errand / school drop-off clog

    shearling boat shoes… pair with a cashmere sock… very into these
What about these $20 inserts to put in any pair of shoes you already own… sign me up!

Under $500:

the most luxe looking wool coat I’ve seen under $500… length is perfection (will notify when restock happens) / black wool coat (love and have this one but it is not lined) / black down coat / faux shearling coat (1 medium left!!) / single breasted coat

Under $2k

MaxMara puffer / Rohe olive wool coat / Yves Salomon down jacket / Acne Studios down coat (final sale here… similar version here that is less puffy) / Dries Van Noten wool coat (LOVING this)

Investments that will be with you for a decade +

MaxMara teddy (on sale here in M/L) / the new Toteme teddy is out of stock in many sizes but I love her / Toteme shearling, another option here for less / Toteme navy coat (a really nice weight and very warm) / Khaite wool trench, I love the length here… hard to find

I added a bunch of really great winter accessories to my gifting post last week… no repeats here so be sure to check that one out.
