Seeing as it's 20 degrees and snowing in NYC this week, I thought it was time to talk about what people are really wearing this winter—and not just in pictures.

From bags and boots to sweaters and pants, today I've got you covered—both physically and metaphorically. In addition to showing you how fashion people are styling each item, I've also thrown in a couple of my favorites just in case you're in a "treat yourself" kind of mood. Ready to get started?
