Just because it’s freezing out, doesn’t mean we have to collectively resign ourselves to giving up on style—it just means we all have to think a bit more creatively when getting dressed in the morning. When the primary motivation is keeping warm while facing dreary days, the temptation is to layer on as many pieces as possible and get out the door. But putting together chic winter looks doesn’t have to be a challenge.
A statement coast thrown over anything elevates your style through the winter months without sacrificing function or fashion. The right coat will instantly turn even a minimalist outfit into a head-turner.
If you're like me and over the amorphous puffer coats that swallow you whole, consider these gorgeous alternatives from Elle M, Robert Comstock, and Salt by Pepper.
