Shear Genius
You can't go wrong with a shearling—it's classic and so cozy. This knee-length version nips in at the waist, while fitted sock booties streamline the legs for a flattering silhouette overall. "It's almost like these pieces are giving you a hug," says
O creative director Adam Glassman.

High Impact
This satin evening coat's rich color is a standout—and the shape is pretty special, too. "A princess cut helps create an hourglass figure," says Adam. Bonus: Not only is it the ideal topper for your night-out LBD, but the quilted fabric actually keeps you warm.

Power Puff
Say hello to a puffer with panache. "This takes the traditional material, turns it on its head, and makes it a true fashion piece," says Adam. It's a chic way to do the athletic trend with unexpected color blocking, drawstrings and a mountain bootie matchup.

Crimson Tide
Red is the color of the season, and this coatigan (coat-and-cardigan hybrid) is super versatile. "Sure, it's a winter coat, but you can also keep it on inside," says Adam. "It's the kind of piece that finishes a look." Exquisite draping accentuates the positive and magically minimizes the rest.
