THE FUSE

I LIVE IN New York, and winter has officially settled in. Temps dipping below 40 degrees is not exactly my favorite thing, especially since I commute to the office three days a week, walk everywhere, and still make it to the gym after work. In weather like this, layering is optional. My outfits need to survive a 10-minute walk to the train, overheated subway platforms, drafty workspaces, and whatever weather whiplash the day throws at me. After years of testing clothes for a living (and freezing in the wrong ones), I’ve landed on a layering system that actually works in real life. Whether you live in a cold region or need clothes that can handle long days spent moving in and out of the elements, here’s how I do it.
