BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

STREET STYLE

It's that time of year when temperatures drop and everyone
starts to bundle up in order to brave the cold. But the western
Queens residents I spotted on the streets of Astoria this month
didn’t just throw on a coat and call it a day; a lot of thought was
put into some of the styles that captured my eye.
Even though locals had to cover up their outfits with outerwear
to step outside, they made sure to show their personalities through
their cozy hats, boots, coats and accessories. I appreciated the details
that Astorians focused on in their looks, including textures like velvety
leggings and hints of color like a pumpkin-orange hat.
Brian (@brianpinkston) is originally from D.C., but he’s
now an Astoria resident. He works in investor relations
and called his style “modern and basic.” Cozy jacket —
check! Faded, rolled-up jeans — check! Laced-up booties
— check! Well done, Brian.
Isabella
(@bellarina26),
a communications
coordinator, was
strolling around
after eating brunch
at Sugar Freak. She
described her style
as “cozy chic” — a
spot-on description.
Her orange beanie,
cozy sweater and
chic high boots
made this look so
unique … so street!
I see you, girl!
Amanda (@polli_amanda),
who works for the ad
creative department for
National Geographic, was
enjoying her day off with
her friend. She said her
style is “classic with an
edge.” I totally love
when people accurately
describe their style.
Amanda’s booties
accented with a steellike
toe, along with her
crosshatched, crossbody
bag complemented her
classic look for sure.
Samantha
(@samsirignano),
an Astoria resident
and real estate
agent, was about
to grab some
dinner after work
when I spotted
her. She described
her style as
“professional and
classy.” Her tan
coat, infinity scarf,
hat and classy,
chain-linked Tory
Burch crossbody
created a well puttogether
look.
