Liven Up Your Neutral Dress With a Printed Coat — Like Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum attended the screening of Beautiful Creatures in NYC last night wearing a beautiful navy dress, black strappy Charlotte Olympia sandals, and colorful drop earrings, but it was the geometric-print Nonoo coat she sported on her way inside that really made an impression.

Emmy Rossum attended the screening of Beautiful Creatures in NYC last night wearing a beautiful navy dress, black strappy Charlotte Olympia sandals, and colorful drop earrings, but it was the geometric-print Nonoo coat she sported on her way inside that really made an impression. We've been seeing a lot of amazing printed outerwear lately, and Emmy's look reminded us how a single piece of clothing can elevate an entire ensemble. Plus, the actress's satin pick is a seasonal-transition staple, working well from one season to the next. Layer up with sweaters and pants now; dresses and skirts later. Thus, we set out to find equally stunning Spring coats that will add the perfect mix of textural intrigue, color, and dynamic to the rest of your outfit.

Tommy Hilfiger took us back to prep school for Fall '13, showing one perfectly tailored look after the other — all with a refined '60s mod twist.

Meanwhile, refined shearling-embellished moto jackets and structured khaki bonded Mackintosh coats injected a modern element to the mix.

Despite being in different cities, Jennifer Lawrence (at Heathrow airport) and Emmy Rossum (at LAX) did have one thing in common: both took on one of our favorite Winter coat silhouettes — the always cool leather-sleeved coat — with jet-setting ease. Jennifer's black version, adorned with gold buttons, proved very military-inspired, while Emmy kept herself warm in a Line & Dot navy coat with black leather sleeves. With this kind of mixed-media outerwear, you can style it two ways, and take it from these ladies on just how to do it. Jennifer completed her London look with gray ripped jeans, black booties, and a purple hat, and Emmy finished her outfit with Joe's faded blue jeans ($158), black ballet flats, and this Jimmy Choo chain-embellished bag ($1,795).

Nicole Scherzinger Shows Us How to Add an Edgy Twist to Houndstooth

The X Factor UK judge Nicole Scherzinger was spotted — or shall we say checkered — sporting a statement houndstooth coat that immediately caught our sartorial eye.

The X Factor UK judge Nicole Scherzinger was spotted — or shall we say checkered — sporting a statement houndstooth coat that immediately caught our sartorial eye. The singer completed her latest London style with black skinny jeans, a black blouse, oversize round sunglasses, pointy booties with a stark white sole, and a bevy of gold baubles, including large hoop earrings. Houndstooth is one of those prints that comes back season after season, but it can very easily go the matronly route. But what we appreciate about Nicole's use of houndstooth is that it's every bit edgy and cool thanks to her use of two off-kilter accessories: exaggerated shades and killer shoes. Follow suit by matching up your houndstooth outerwear with equally smashing accoutrements to take your look from tame to traffic stopping.

Jessica Chastain Might Just Have the Best Winter-Coat Wardrobe (Ever)

There's a lot we could say about Jessica Chastain's superb acting (have you seen her in Zero Dark Thirty yet?), but today, what we really want to talk about is her coats.

There's a lot we could say about Jessica Chastain's superb acting (have you seen her in Zero Dark Thirty yet?), but today, what we really want to talk about is her coats. She might just have the single best Winter-coat wardrobe we've ever seen, and we don't say this lightly. Listen, Jessica may know how to hit a red carpet in glamorous body-con silhouettes (and we can't wait to see what she wears all awards season long), but she also knows how to make her outerwear a polished statement-making centerpiece. We've got the sartorial proof in just the last few weeks alone, and her stint in the Broadway play, The Heiress is to thank for it. In that, she's been spotted in NYC's Theater District almost daily, braving the cold in only the chicest of coats. From a plum-hued Burberry Queensbury trench to a velvet-trim military number, her coat-awesomeness cup runneth over — and serves to remind us just how valuable a great piece of outerwear really is. Take a look inside at how she styles her outerwear for added Winter styling inspiration now.

The actress started with black basics, which were the perfect base for her eye-catching and cozy Tory Burch green wool Katie coat ($681, originally $851). She, then, finished her look off with black multi-buckle booties (with playful purple socks peeking out) and a wool hat.

Jessica Alba Induces Love at First Sight — With This Sandro Coat

The Winter chill has us in a very steady stream of coat consciousness (exhibit A: Jessica Chastain's envy-inducing collection), and now, Jessica Alba has us convinced that it's entirely OK to lust after yet another outerwear option.

The Winter chill has us in a very steady stream of coat consciousness (exhibit A: Jessica Chastain's envy-inducing collection), and now, Jessica Alba has us convinced that it's entirely OK to lust after yet another outerwear option. Spotted last night in LA, the brunette beauty bundled up in a Sandro Mémorable olive coat ($725, originally $1,035), complete with a rabbit-fur-paneled and buckle-infused front, and flared jeans. And, with just one look at her wintry ensemble, we knew: a coat that eye-catching is worth a little more "research." While the exact version is on sale right now, we're aware that it's still a bit of an investment spend. Not to mention, we're also aware that not everyone is on the fur-wearing bandwagon — understandably so. Here's your win-win: see our editors' budget-friendly faux-fur picks below.
