I Just Moved to Brooklyn—Here Are the 30 Winter Items I Spotted All Over Town

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

I recently did the late-20s migration from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and it's taking everything in me not to make it my entire personality. I'll spare you the details on exactly how this move has influenced my time in the city, but I will share all the cool fashion finds Brooklynites are styling this winter. Right off the bat, I noticed the cold weather is no indication of how they dress. No one is out here wearing tank tops in the winter, but they certainly aren't masking their style under a big black puffer. Instead, they're wearing on-trend pants such as cargos and corduroys with more daring outerwear choices (e.g. cream overcoats and collared bombers). Not to mention, their footwear just screams good taste. I've been pretty busy taking notes on everything I need to copy, so in true editor form, I shopped it out for you to enjoy. Keep scrolling to shop my Brooklyn-approved winter wish list.

Okay, I haven't seen anyone wearing this around Brooklyn yet, but when I felt this top in person, I couldn't believe how soft it was, so I had to share it with you. 

The limit on wearing retro sneakers does not exist. 

Spread the word: We're doing metal-framed sunglasses in 2024.
