Need a Holiday Party Outfit That Keeps You Warm? Start With a Long Herringbone Coat

Looking for a holiday party outfit that is still warm enough for a cold night out? A long herringbone coat, black layers and knee-high boots do it.

Dressing for a holiday party in cold weather usually means choosing between looking dressed up and staying warm. A long herringbone coat solves both. The classic pattern looks polished over almost anything, and the below-knee length covers you from the cold walk to the door to the ride home.

Keep everything underneath simple: a black turtleneck, black trousers and knee-high boots for a dressy night out, or a cream sweater and dark jeans for something more casual. Let the coat be the statement piece, and the whole cold going out outfit stays easy, the kind of winter going out outfit you can repeat all season.

The Formula to Remember

One long herringbone coat, one soft neutral layer and knee-high boots. Keep the rest simple and let the coat do the dressing up.
