After one of the coldest and snowiest winters ever, we're still talking about the weather. Yeah, the snow may be gone (fingers crossed!), but conditions out there are still annoying. Take today, for instance. It was cold and windy this morning, warmer and sunny this afternoon, but there's still a chance of rain looming over our heads all week. How do we dress for the weather in NYC this week? We have a few tips.
Layers
Layering is the key to dressing in these in-between seasons. No doubt you're over your winter coat, so put it in storage and opt for a jacket (like a leather jacket or even a trench) that you can wear over a light sweater. When it gets warmer by lunch, just leave the jacket at your desk.
Don't forget a scarf
We're not talking about a heavy winter scarf here, but a lighter spring version that'll keep you warm in the morning. And when you get on the subway and start to overheat (the layers!), slip the scarf off and you'll cool down.
Trick yourself with color
Even if it's a heavier piece of clothing, wearing bright, springlike colors will at least make you feel like we're getting closer to spring weather. That has to count for something, right?
And because we're entering the season of April showers, don't leave home without your umbrella. These bright options should help you weather the storm.
