Winter’s frigid days and nights might be enough to make you want to wear everything you own, at once, and top it off with a blanket–January ain’t particularly forgiving when it comes to fashion.

We’re all for bundling everything you own on when the temperature is below freezing, but there is a way you can do it and still look chic.

Enter the classic coat–your winter-long wardrobe hero that gets more use than Netflix on a snow day.

It’s great for adding polish to layered outfits, and there’s a tip to know that can make fashion’s most worn winter piece of apparel feel fresh–by adding a belt over the top. No, we’re not talking about coats with belts that come included, we’re talking about a patent, plaited, leather, suede, skinny or think belt added as an accessory. If these street style photos are anything to go by, it’s a no-brainer way to boost your look.
