The Quest For the Perfect Coat Ends Here

Why we like it: One of the best things about chillier weather is getting instantly transformed with the addition of a coat. Ladylike styles add polish instantly, and when it's all zipped up, no one will be able to tell what you've got on underneath (beloved but old t-shirts included).

How to wear it: Don't go halfway. This look is best with other similar pulled-together pieces like an a-line or pencil skirt and pumps.

Runway: Christian Dior, Erdem, and Valentino
