Winters can often tend to limit your options when it come to you looks. Yes, sweater season allows you to experiment with different kinds of sweaters, but when it comes to layering – you have to really figure out the right kinds of winter coats with the right kind of layers that can go underneath it.

The thing about winter coats though, is getting their fit right. You are going to be layering anyway, so you do not want them to fall on you shabbily, and you do not want them to look bulky.

And yes, that does seem daunting, but consider the payoff of having the right winter coat – it can elevate a look, it can make you look self-assured and charming, and it can state your awareness of fashion to the world.

Of course, color combinations matter a lot when it comes to a flattering fit. You could be wearing the right fit and still not look as good as you might expect to, if you are not wearing the right color. To get all of these rides, check out these five outfit combinations we have picked for you

1. Olive Chinos + Black Crew Neck T-shirt + Charcoal Grey Winter Coat + White Sneakers

For this first look, we are going for a darker, moodier color palette, and maintaining the tone throughout the look. Black crew-neck tees have been a staple of wardrobes for a while now, and they can very easily partner up with a charcoal grey winter coat.

This winter coat is shorter, ending right beneath the hips, but you can go for longer ones too. The olive chinos add a hint of color without breaking the palette. You can add a touch of contrast with white sneakers, but that is the only contrasting element here. Keep the rest of the look concerted.

2. Black Jeans + White T-shirt + Balck Winter Coat + White Sneakers

For this one, we are going for a timeless color combination – black and white. Black and white adds a certain serenity to the look, keeping it neat and balanced. The denims and the long overcoat add the moodier, black tones to the look, while the whites of the tee and the sneakers keep the fresh and light, even though it is a winter outfit.

With these, you want to keep the accessories minimal – a simple silver watch, and maybe a bracelet, if you are feeling adventurous. But with looks like these, it is best to let your coat make the statement.

3. Black Pants + White Shirt + Grey Check Print Winter Coat + White Sneakers

This outfit is extremely versatile. It can go from day to night, office to café, and yes – it is a little on the formal side, but you can switch that up or down with how your button your shirt. You would need a crisp white shirt for this look, along with black trousers and plain, white sneakers. Button up your shirt if you want it to be even more formal.

This is a classic glen-checked double-breasted jacket, and it draws a lot of attention. So let it be the central piece of your look, and keep the rest of understated and simple.

4. Black Jeans + Grey T-shirt + Camel Winter Coat + White Sneakers

You do not always have to stick to a similar palette when you are curating an outfit with a jacket. See how the camel yellow tone of this long overcoat complements the grey mélange tee? You just have to pick a color combination like this one, where the two colors bring each other out instead of overpowering each other.

The black trousers and the white sneakers add a neatness to the whole look. You can accessorize with dark shades, a simple black-strap watch to match your trousers. Make sure your tees don’t hang too low with overcoats, because that can make you look rather shabby.

5. Grey Jeans + White Crew Neck T-shirt + Beige Winter Coat + Grey Stipe Scarf + White Sneakers

We cannot discuss winter coats and not talk about the grand white coat – white coats are tasteful, elegant and sophisticated, and they can immediately dial up the charm of a look.

See how the cream-white coat here adds a certain charm to the otherwise simple grey and white palette of the look?  Now, there are two white tones in this outfit – the cream jacket and the paper white tee, so keep the greys in the same tone. A grey scarf like this one makes for a great addition to the look.
