Survive the Polar Vortex in Style
Unless you have been living on a tropical island, you are fully aware that we’re headed for a big freeze this week. When the temperature drops, the big question is what to wear? I love an open toe Manolo in most temperatures, but I don’t love the idea of frostbite. The key to navigating the snow and wind is to layer up, which means a big, heavy parka is a must. But no one wants to look like the Michelin man. Here’s our guide to the most stylish options for this season’s first polar vortex.
