Fur Coats and Print Dresses Make a Perfect Cold-Weather Couple

We're all for wearing even our most summery of dresses come Winter, but it can be a tricky seasonal balance to strike.

We're all for wearing even our most summery of dresses come Winter, but it can be a tricky seasonal balance to strike. The key to getting this look right? It's all about layering, and we're showing you how to do so — like a pro. Simply pair a silky printed shirt dress (we prefer the kind that hits around the knee area) with a fur jacket and ankle boots for a look that's as cool as it is cozy. Here's a tip: when shopping for the perfect furry coat, make sure the silhouette hits you right around — or a little higher than — the waist to avoid extra bulkiness. The result? A highly textural cold-weather getup that's high on style points and might possibly get you snapped on the streets during New York Fashion Week if you just so happen to be in NYC. Shop our three mapped-out outfits below, and, of course, don't forget to don a pair of lined tights for extra insulation!

3.1 Phillip Lim Pre-Fall 2013

The spirit of riding a roaring Harley down an open highway permeated Phillip Lim's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.

The spirit of riding a roaring Harley down an open highway permeated Phillip Lim's Pre-Fall 2013 collection. If the leather jackets and pants with quilted knee panels didn't express that feeling enough, the stylized phoenix and zippers that acted as decorations should.

Those pieces were appealing enough on their own, but Lim balanced them with garments that even dedicated pedestrians will want to wear. Of note: otherwise simple skirts featuring asymmetrical hems, outerwear with rounded shoulders, oversize knitwear pieces, and a pale green parka that looked perfectly cozy paired with a navy snood and maroon trousers.

Best of 2012: Handbag of the Year

While a bevvy of bags were debuted this year from covet-worthy labels like Mulberry, Proenza Schouler, and Givenchy, only a select few would achieve It bag status on the arms of celebrities and street-style stars alike.

While a bevvy of bags were debuted this year from covet-worthy labels like Mulberry, Proenza Schouler, and Givenchy, only a select few would achieve It bag status on the arms of celebrities and street-style stars alike. After careful consideration — and a year's worth of evidence — these are the standouts: Fendi's 2Jours structured satchel, a favorite of celebs like Reese Witherspoon, who owns it in tan; Céline's luggage tote, which practically every fashion lover, street-style star, and fashion insider went crazy over; 3.1 Phillip Lim's Pashli bag, which many described as a fusion of the Céline tote and an Hermès Birkin; and Valentino's Rockstud oversize clutch, which style setters like Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung proudly displayed at Fashion Week. We'd be happy to tote any of the four, and surely they all deserve a spot in this category — but which style warrants the handbag of the year title? Cast your vote now!

The beauty of Fashion Week is that it gives us a glimpse into what we'll be buying, wearing, and lusting after six months from now. But sometimes the looks we see on the runway are just too good to wait around for. We're taking one of those ensembles — a '90s-inspired, grunge-cool look from 3.1 Phillip Lim — and styling it up with similar pieces for maximum Fall appeal. The look centers around a pair of slouchy printed trousers, which get a dose of eclectic cool when you add a plaid button-down (similar to the feeling of Lim's mixed-pattern top). Bring the look together with a black leather motorcycle jacket and sexy mesh ankle booties. Now you've got a great, runway-ready look that's perfect for a night out with the girls.
