IMAXTREE | VincenzoGrillo

People say that less is more. But when it's below zero and snowing, more is definitely more. Now that Winter is upon us, an essential part of staying warm and surviving the bitter cold is by being smart about the way we dress and how we layer.

Because the thought of wearing multiple shirts and sweaters may seem uncomfortable or unfashionable, we looked to the ladies who have layering down to a science. Scroll on for some street style inspiration, and learn a thing or two about looking cool and staying warm.

Forget the stockings. Learn from Susie Bubble and throw on some printed pants under your skirt or dress, and stay warm all night and day.

Keep your leather jackets in rotation by throwing them over a dress and under a coat.

Who said you can't wear two coats? Stay cozy by layering with turtlenecks, sweaters, and coats.

Stand out from a sea of monochrome during the cold months with a bit of leopard print. Don't forget the extrachunky scarves.

Avoid the bulk and frumpiness from piling on the layers with a waist-defining belt.

Denim jackets don't only have to be for the warmer weather — wear them under your coat for added heat.

Instantly upgrade your outfit by experimenting with textures as well as layers. Try denim, camel, and lightweight sweaters like this fashionista did.

Sure, your top half may be warm, but what about your legs? Make sure to put on some stockings or knee-high socks to wear under your jeans.

Don't be afraid to layer on the prints for a bold, standout look.

Top your coat off with a contrasting fur vest to give it more dimension.

A long, chunky fur vest will keep your entire body warm — even without sleeves.
