When it's cold but not mind-numbingly cold, we do our best to look stylish in the snow. We double up on lighter jackets [1], pull on our chic beanies [2], and opt for our sleek texting gloves over our puffer mittens. But when a blizzard hits, our #SorryNotSorry attitude has us piling on the chunky, funky layers [3] with no regrets.
Apparently, we're not the only ones. We searched Instagram for the most downright hilarious — but also smart — outfits that braved superfrigid temperatures, and we rounded them up below. Chic at heart we may be, but we feel at ease knowing it's OK to sacrifice a few style points for warmth . . . in desperate times, of course.
