So you've got your holiday outfits lined up, and now you're in need of a jacket to seal the deal. As much as we love our handy classic puffers, now is when it's fully appropriate to ramp up the dramatics. In fact, the best jackets to wear to a holiday soirée are the ones that could very well stand as an entire outfit on their own.
Beyond the fact that we're headed into winter, a luxe-looking jacket is known to elevate any outfit with minimal effort. So if you find yourself with nothing to wear at the last minute, you can throw on a monochrome getup and know your outerwear will do the work. Key details to look for in "the one"? Length, volume, and texture. Think unique trenches and oversize faux-fur numbers. Ahead, here's all you need to know about shopping the perfect jacket to complete your holiday wardrobe rotation.

Tip 1: Be the Only One in a Long, Printed Puffer

Tip 2: Definitely Douse Your Jacket in Pearls
For a night out during the holidays that calls for an opulent ensemble, be it a Gatsby-themed New Year's Eve party or your over-the-top BFF's Friendsgiving bash, there's no way a pearl-embellished jacket will fail you. A piece like this says so much on its own that you'll want to keep the rest of your outfit minimal. You'll end up looking like a million bucks without shelling out the big coins.

Tip 3: Remember Faux-Fur Trims Are Always a Good Idea
The biggest outerwear trend of the season has undoubtedly been building up to this moment. If the "rich aunt" aesthetic is your holiday vibe, you'll want a faux-fur-trimmed coat. And since you've already come this far on the extra-meter, why not add a printed dress underneath?

Tip 4: Add Subtle Studs
Whether at an intimate home gathering or out and about, the holidays call for some amounts of glitz and glamour, but you can keep it pretty subtle with a modestly studded coat. An all-black iteration is the perfect option for the minimalist who doesn't want to stray too far out of their comfort zone this season.

Tip 5: Go Full-On Faux Fur
Want to go a step further than a furry-trimmed coat? Opt for just full-fledged fur instead. The style boasts a surefire way to remain warm while you're holiday-party hopping and looks festively chic paired with anything from a slip dress to a miniskirt and tights.
