Clearly, this street styled crew knows the feeling, showing off a set of winter-ready outfits that don't include snow pants. Instead, their looks inspire a sleek, pulled-together standard for your cold-weather style, which may feel a little different this year, but shouldn't be tarnished by a little inclement weather, either. Click through for the inspiration, and prepare to layer up in style.
