Check It Out

Wrap Star
This ultracozy wrap coat with contrast lining layers over a turtleneck for extra warmth, while the lace boots and pearl- and crystal-studded bucket bag add edge. "A lot of boots this season have a '70s influence," says O creative director Adam Glassman. "Think stacked heels as opposed to stilettos."

Coat, Protagonist, $2,900. Sweater, Banana Republic, $98. Skirt, Marissa Webb, $498. Bag, Jimmy Choo. Boots, Gianvito Rossi.

Feel Free to Embellish
There's no better entrance-maker than a faux-fur coat and embellished evening booties (a big trend this season). And while the "shbootie" style may seem dramatic, the look flatters almost everyone—the dip at the top of this Rupert Sanderson shoe is especially leg lengthening.

Coat, Ann Taylor, $258. Top, Elie Tahari, $198. Skirt, Lover, $550. Earrings, Rebecca Minkoff. Evening booties, Rupert Sanderson.

Belt It Out
What's black, white and sexy all over? This soft, belted coat over a shirtdress, racy thigh-highs and lacy booties. "Even when what you're wearing underneath is subdued, the right coat and boots will turn it into a high-impact look," Glassman says.

Coat and dress, Marissa Webb, $695 and $525. Ring, Robert Lee Morris Collection. Thigh-highs, Falke. Booties, Bionda Castana.
