Winter in New York is cold.
One must take certain precautions to dress appropriately because the elements are brutal.
So, as you can imagine, packing for below average temperatures can be problematic for a family from California. Problematic for the family who believes in wearing one hundred percent cotton and flip-flops.
Packing for Winter weather is big and bulky.
I brought clothes for everyone to layer.
For example: a coat on top of a hoodie, the hoodie on top of a long sleeved shirt, the long sleeved shirt on top of a short sleeved shirt.... you get the idea. This is all topped off with a scarf, a hat and gloves.
There is a rumor that people who live on the East Coast have completely different wardrobes to take them from Summer into Winter.
And that these wardrobes are sometimes kept in storage units just waiting for the right season to emerge.
This is clearly not a rumor.
It's obviously the size of the coats being warn that warrants a much larger closet than a Manhattan apartment allows. By the dozens of animal fur we saw everyday it was glaringly obvious we weren't in California anymore. And that some New Yorkers go for fashion and function over being politically correct for all of the animal lover's.
Enjoy the warmth.
Some of these coats are clearly not real fur but desperately want to be.
This is a real fur being worn by a real man.
Whatever works for you - cotton or fur. It's necessary to bundle up.
And in the meantime, be aware your Winter fashion may or may not end up on a random blog.

There's a real fur coat in mom's closet you could have to fit in. But just warning you, it smelled a bit gamey to me.
That fur keeps the animals warm, so I guess it works for people too. It is fun to see all the fashions
Not too happy about the amount of fur on people... but I understand the need for bulk in the winter. Michael and I have a separate closet for winter clothes because they take up so much space.
