When September rolls around and temperatures are comfortable during fashion week, my outfit choices feel much more adventurous. However, as February approaches, where temperatures can plummet between 10ºF and 30ºF, I gravitate towards practicality. My goal is to remain warm while still aiming to look presentable. One outfit I plan to showcase this season features a look from Prada‘s F/W 23 collection. This ensemble consists of an oversized down jacket along with a matching column skirt, primed for a stunning debut. Additionally, I acquired a chic black suede coat with pony-hair accents from Allegra Vintij at the Manhattan Vintage Show, which I’ll layer over a navy blue silk minidress paired with tailored black trousers from Colleen Allen. I love to mix my more evening-oriented minidresses with daytime trousers for a fresher look. To complete my outfits, I’ll be relying on a The Row Marlo bag that perfectly accommodates my laptop—essential for my hectic NYFW schedule.

As we dive deep into the current fashion season, it’s clear that coats will play a pivotal role in my wardrobe. I plan on making a statement with my faux-fur coats, selecting pieces that pair effortlessly with my entire outfit. My approach for this season leans towards a monochromatic color scheme that focuses on the separate elements that align with the hues of the coats I choose—think all-cream or rich chocolate-brown ensembles.
