But keeping warm and fashionable need not be oxymorons. Enter: the Barneys executive team. From fluffy sweaters to classic peacoats, check out the cold-weather gear they plan to layer on this winter to stay cozy and stylish.

“My warmest coat is a Finn raccoon parka I bought ten years ago. It’s starting to look tired, so I’m very tempted by the Altuzarra one at Barneys now.”

“Angora keeps me toasty. I just bought a new fluffy angora sweater from Gucci (at Barneys, of course). Angora is so thermal-efficient that I am surprised arctic explorers have not adopted it. Here’s a tip: When you wear a fluffy sweater, avoid the gold jewelry.”

DANIELLA VITALE
Chief Merchant, Executive Vice President
“I realized this weekend that I have nothing practical, so what I want and need are two very different things. For sludging around in the snow: the navy Woolrich fur trimmed short bomber. And for my other life: Prabal Gurung‘s winter white wool coat. I also want the shearling-lined boots from our CO-OP collection.”
