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.
