Puff Love
A chill-busting puffer can be sophisticated, too! "Puffers are unbeatable for warmth," says O creative director Adam Glassman. "For the most streamlined silhouette, look for longer lengths, neutral colors, and styles that aren't overly stuffed."

Shear Bliss
"Spend more on long-lasting fabrics," says Adam. "Shearling is investment-worthy and never goes out of style." If your closet is full of black, try a merlot. The rich wine hue is the toast of the season—and looks good on all.

Great Lengths
A long, sweeping coat that hits just above your ankles adds the illusion of extra height (so it won't swallow a petite frame) and lets you show off ferocious footwear.

Pump Up the Volume
Why not trade your same old peacoat for something with a bit more panache? Belt an oversize, shawl-collar style at the waist to create an hourglass shape. And for a fresh, modern look, throw on cognac over-the-knee boots.

Opposites Attract
Strike the perfect balance of fierce and feminine by pairing a borrowed-from-the-boys coat with girlier pieces, such as a shaggy blush sweater or a flowing pleated skirt.
