Ha /fa/, never posted in here before because I've never cared about fashion,but I need some help. I'm moving from Texas to Cambridge (going to Havard) and I need some advice on what kind of winter shoes and cost to buy. I've read a little bit online and a lot of people recommended LL Bean, but I'm not sure what's good/stylish. I don't mind not owning the most popular thing if it means spending less, but I just don't wanna look dumb. And the cost is another problem, I have a big green coat with orange sleeves, it was a gift, it looks kinda like a weird letter men jacket from a high school. What kind of coats/jackets do I need to survive the winter?

LL Bean boots are good for your typical slushy day walking through half-melted snow. Their traction is a little shitty, but you'll learn to walk without slipping. Most days, a simple pair of leather adidas sneakers is fine though.
Living in the city, you're not actually going to need some crazy technical winter coat. A **real** wool coat is an simple option. Or you could get a waterproof parka. LL Bean has plenty of coats as well. What's more important than a specific coat though is learning to layer. Layering is how you actually stay warm. Owning some think merino wool sweaters is more important that the specific coat you buy.

I mean if you want to be stylish and fashionable say no more because only one brand will do. Rick Owens. He manages to blend the lines between true beauty and art! If I was you I'd really be looking at acquiring a pair of SS15s they are truly everything you could ever want from a pair of shoes. As for the rest of your outfit will it would be simply absurd not to invest in more high quality Rick Ownes tailored goods such as the FW17 as a jacket and pants all in one. It would also be extremely cost effective so how could I not recommend it!
