So many people lose their style during the winter, but a plaid coat can up the ante on any look with minimal effort. For drinks with friends, I took a cue from Miranda Kerr, Lupita Nyong'o, and Lily Collins in March's "The Look: Coat Check" and threw on this street-style-ready Band of Outsiders jacket. Since it commands so much attention in and of itself, I teamed it with muted colors and let it take center stage. A topknot helped showcase the luxe fur collar (and kept my hair out of my face, too).
