how to | dress for nyc

New York is a city full of surprises! At the end of December you expect freezing cold temperatures, snow storms and a lot of hot coco. But mother nature decided otherwise. A deep blue sky, overload of sunshine and temperatures high above freezing! Perfect weather to stroll around the city, but a nightmare for your outfit.

How do you dress for a chilly active day full of shopping? You are in the trendiest city of the planet, so looking like plain Jane is not an option either. And above all, we were going to Carsten Höller's fairground and I definitely wanted to take a ride on the slide.

But Alexander Wang came to the rescue. The wool narrow fitted dress/skirt was perfect for a day like this: warm but not too warm, comfortable fabric, stylish shape and an easy to combine color. In other words, a perfect canvas to start with. Mix it up with an uber sophisticated bouclé jacket and some die hard boots and you are ready to hit the road.
