Winter Survival Style Challenge: How to Conquer the Philly Snow in Style

Philadelphia is currently bracing for its first major weather event of the year. With a Winter Storm Watch in effect from Saturday evening through Monday morning, the buzz in the city is all about one thing: "What will this weekend's snow accumulation be?"

The latest meteorological models are trending toward a significant event. Forecasters are calling for a plowable snow with probabilities suggesting a high chance of 6 to 12 inches, and some models even hinting at up to 15 inches of accumulation if the storm holds its track.

Whether you’re heading to the grocery store to beat the "Bread and Milk" rush or planning a cozy snow-day photoshoot, here is how to tackle the impending snow storm with the best of Urban Princess Boutique.

1. The "Plowable Snow" Silhouette: Wide-Leg Energy

The biggest silhouette shift of 2026 is all about volume with intention. Ditch the skinnies—they're no match for a foot of powder.

• The Piece: Our Wide Leg Tri-Colored Jeans are the perfect statement for a snowy walk through Rittenhouse Square.
• Pro Tip: High-volume bottoms look best with a fitted top. Layer them over thermal leggings to stay warm when the Arctic air mass hits on Sunday.

2. Beat the "Philly Gray" with Winter Brights

As the weekend snow forecast promises a total whiteout, don't let your outfit disappear into the clouds. 2026 is the year of Chili Red and vibrant Winter Brights.

• The Piece: Our Criss Cross Periwinkle Sweater is a breath of fresh air. It’s the perfect "indoor cozy" look for when you're hunkered down watching the snow accumulation pile up outside your window.

3. Smart Warmth: The Snow Storm Essentials

A Philadelphia snow emergency doesn't mean you have to look like a marshmallow. Real Philly style is about intelligent layering.

• The Layer: Throw on our 4 Season Poncho. It’s the ultimate boho-chic layer that fits easily over heavy sweaters without adding bulk.
• The Accessories: Protect your energy (and your outfit) with natural gemstones. Our Abalone Crystal Hang Drop Earrings add a touch of "Dark Romance" to even the most practical winter gear.

❄️ What to Do in Philly in the Snow

Once you’ve secured your "snow day" look, it’s time to enjoy the winter wonderland. Here are the top trending activities for this weekend:

• Sledding the Classics: Grab your sled and head to the Art Museum Steps, Belmont Plateau, or the Clark Park Bowl in West Philly for the best slopes in the city.
• Cozy Cabin Vibes: Visit the Rothman Orthopaedics Cabin at Dilworth Park or the Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest for fire pits, hot cocoa, and ice skating under the snow.
• Warm Up with Ramen: Nothing beats the "Philly Chill" like a steaming bowl from Tomo Sushi & Ramen in Old City—just blocks from the boutique!
• Museum Escapes: Use the snow day to explore the Barnes Foundation or the Philadelphia Museum of Art; they are the perfect quiet sanctuaries during a storm.
