Updated on 12/3/2018 at 6:06 PM

Styling a going-out outfit is difficult for any season, never mind one where you might be too hot or too cold. But alas, it's almost Winter, and you may still want to maintain some sex appeal without stacking on 25 layers. We feel you. We uncovered a handful of looks you can try that employ nifty little tricks to keep warm but still come off as chic. You can even dare to bare some skin if you're in a cozy bomber and sweater up top but an asymmetrical skirt and thigh-high boots down below. Read on to comb through our options and land upon the ones you know you'll be able to pull off with the clothes you already have. We'll see you at the bar, mulled wine in hand.

Wear leather skinnies with a voluminous shaggy jacket and tall white pumps.

Wear a long leather trench coat, cinched at the waist, with metallic shoes. If it's cold at your destination, you won't even have to take off your outerwear.

A crop top in Winter? Of course you can. Style one under a vibrant pantsuit, and add a furry coat you can take off once you're inside.

Wear a lightweight champagne top over flared pants and thick boots. Complete with a metallic coat and drop earrings.

String a statement necklace around the collar of your sweater, and pair sharp white booties with thick trousers.

Style leather knee-high boots with a long blazer dress and turtleneck.

Layer a neoprene long-sleeved top underneath a sexy slip and complete with sock boots.

Work a flashy pantsuit underneath your going-out coat so you look chic as hell once you shed that top layer and perfectly put together on the street if you're wearing your jacket open.

Wear leggings or tight-fitting skinny jeans that you can tuck into boots underneath the chiffon maxi you style with swimsuits in the Summer. Finish with a hat and a luxe-looking jacket.

Work your wool leopard coat as a dress with cowboy boots.

Complete your denim and a tee with a thick, cropped bomber.

Balance a glamorous moto coat over your blouse, and complete with a velvet skirt and pearls.

Bundle up underneath your poncho with a heat tech shirt, and wear tall, functional boots.

Brighten up a dark trench dress with an ivory turtleneck underneath.

Going somewhere casual? A puffer vest in a neat colorway will turn heads. Style it with pants and platform boots.

Wear your coziest, furriest turtleneck underneath a cargo jacket and complete with thigh-high boots, so you're only baring the tiniest sliver of skin.

Wear red leather boots with a long skirt and wool jacket that falls to the exact same point.

Wear thick snakeskin pants with a lightweight blouse, and throw a heavier fringed jacket on top.

Wear shiny metallic pants with a go-to knit jumper and Dr. Martens platform boots.

Wear an eye-catching, cherry red dress underneath a coat in a coordinating print, and leave the buttons undone.

Style neutral separates like a cropped shearling jacket and pleated midi skirt with tall snakeskin boots.

You can wear thick tights underneath a maxi dress without anyone knowing it. Cap off your look with a stylish hat, rather than a beanie, if your ears tend to get cold.

Ground your Winter whites with pointed-toe boots and a turtleneck thin enough to tuck into the waistband of your pants.

Bring your Summer skirt into Winter when you wear a pair of fun gray tights and a shearling jacket.
