Winter is upon us, and in the past that meant hauling your all-black ensemble out of storage and bundling up in a parka until springtime. But there’s no need to brave the elements looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man — all it takes is a little planning and a lot of chic layering. Here’s how to dress fashionably for the cold, from cozy, fleece-lined tights to gloves that allow for easy texting.
Gloves that let you text
Keep your hands toasty — and allow for easy texting — thanks to this accessory’s tipless fingers on thumb and pointer digits.

Shearling earmuffs
Can’t bear to ruin your blowout? Slip on a pair of cozy muffs: Your ears — and hairdo — will thank you.

Bright fur vest
Yes, you can wear a fur vest over your coat: It’ll keep your core nice and warm and adds even more color to your outerwear.

A cozy cardigan
Layering doesn’t need to look bulky. Wear this delicate cardigan under your jacket while you’re outside or over your dress in the office.
Cardigan, $295 at Rebecca Taylor, 34 Gansevoort St.
A colorful coat
Banish the black parka, and upgrade your outerwear with a mustard-colored coat — its surprisingly versatile hue will brighten up even the dreariest of days.

Long dress
Minidresses are too extreme for gusty, blizzard-strength winds — but luckily, longer lengths are very on trend.
Dress, $70 at zara.com
Sky-high boots
Booties, though trendy, won’t keep you warm. These thigh-high suede numbers, however, provide full-leg coverage when you venture into the below-freezing temps.

A Heattech top
It retains heat thanks to moisture-wicking fabric, which is shockingly warm considering how paper-thin it is.

Footless fleece tights
They look like tights but have the coverage of leggings — and are lined with silky-soft fleece for extra coziness.

Not-so-scratchy socks
They’re made from breathable, moisture-controlling, ultralight merino wool — and they’re not itchy, either.
