One of our favorite winter dressing cheat codes is the coat-as-outfit trick. When temperatures drop, your outer layer inevitably steals the show, deftly concealing whatever’s underneath. That’s why it’s worth investing in a great coat (or two!) for the season ahead. A black tailored coat is an excellent place to start.

A black tailored coat marries the warmth of outerwear with the polish of a blazer or suit. Trim and refined, they may be single or double-breasted, often defined by a strong shoulder and a long, lean silhouette. Consider them true wardrobe workhorses. Pair one with trousers and a sleek blouse and you’ll look like you run the boardroom (whether or not you’re headed to the office), or throw it over jeans and a white tee for a chic off-duty look. Best of all, the timeless staple exists at every price point, from Cos to Saint Laurent.
