I live in New York City, so my everyday outings are more like fashion shows. When I step out of my apartment, I never know if I’ll see Emily Ratajkowski at my pizza place or Sarah Jessica Parker serving looks on my block (yes, these actually happened). While I’m always inspired by celebrity style in the flesh, I’m equally excited to spot the outfits of ultra chic passerbys. This winter, I’ve noticed a common outfit theme among NYC It Girls, and I broke it down with the following styles starting at $8.

If you’re looking to elevate your everyday ensembles, I rounded up the top five trends I’m spotting everywhere this season—and they’re all available on Amazon. Browse through luxe-looking pieces including Steve Madden boots, Levi’s jeans, and fashion-forward accessories that will actually keep you warm. (Did I mention it’s freezing here?) Just be sure to shop the items that catch your eye soon—these pieces are popular for a reason and could sell out.

New York City Winter Fashion Staples

Relaxed Denim

IMHO, the base to every great outfit includes a flattering pair of jeans. Lucky for you this Levi’s 94 style is on sale and boasts the baggy silhouette that’s trending this winter. I’m grabbing the classic bottoms in this versatile medium-dark wash, but you can score the pair in six additional colors. You can also get the effortless denim look for less with under-$50 pairs like this Grapent wide-leg style and this relaxed-fitting pair you’ll reach for year-round.

Slouchy Peacoats

While you’re stocking up on closet staples, don’t skip the outerwear department. NYC style icons are trading their puffer coats for slouchy peacoats this season. Get the look with this under-$50 pick you’ll wear with everything. Other wardrobe-worthy options include this double-breasted trench coat and a super warm wool-blend option that’ll keep you cozy through spring.

Statement Zipper Boots

Every winter, I struggle to source the perfect boots, but I finally cracked the code with Steve Madden’s Jones pair. The shoes feature a clunky sole fit for slushy NYC sidewalks, along with the statement zipper detail high-end brands like The Row are embracing. While you can never go wrong with black booties, the elevated kicks are sold in a range of styles including a gorgeous suede option. I’m also eyeing this similar style from Dr. Martens, and for a budget-friendly option you can opt for this on-sale Riekhany pair that’s just as chic.

Mid-Size Suede Bags

I’ve been spotting mid-sized suede bags everywhere—and I mean everywhere—this winter. I’ll be honest: My jaw dropped when I found this $25 option that looks far more expensive than it is. The everyday carryall has a timeless silhouette and sophisticated belt detail for an added element of style. You’ll also want to check out this luxe-looking option from Oprah-loved brand JW Pei. And while you’re at it, don’t skip this gorgeous structured option that’ll level-up any look.

Knit Bonnets

Another accessory worth snagging? This knit balaclava will keep you cozy on coffee runs (and it’s ideal for bad hair days). I don’t know about you, but I’m ditching my traditional beanies for this cool-girl alternative. Explore styles like this cute tie-front style that’s sold in a range of five colors, or snag a now-$8 option you won’t want to face the cold without.

Head to Amazon to grab these hot winter styles while they’re available from $8.
