When a winter storm like Nemo strikes during New York Fashion Week, even the most flatironed and stilettoed showgoers—with the exception of Anna Dello Russo, who was spotted sans outerwear accessories—dressed for the elements. Wool beanies, snoods, and gloves were essential for editors and buyers bypassing snowbanks and enduring frigid temperatures in between shows, but these necessities present an age-old challenge: How do you make functional pieces look cool? This week, we took inspiration from Aussie **Ashley Roberts’**s take on outerwear—Mr. Street Peeper himself, Phil Oh, captured her in a bright orange hat and black fingerless handwarmers—and we were reminded that whether you’re adding a pop of color with an aqua Sportmax overcoat or a feminine touch à la a calfskin clutch, it’s easy to take your winterwear up a notch.
