One cold weather styling trick I never get tired of is wrapping a belt around a blazer, coat or vest. Single-breasted jackets work best, but unless they are fitted at the waist, you might consider unbuttoning it and wrapping the jacket tighter around you (a sort of double-breasted approach). A simple double strap belt is clean and chic, but more of a statement belt can be fun as well. The non plus ultra version this season? Tom Ford’s jacket with a built-in belt, below (of which there are several variations). This jacket sold out on Net-a-Porter the minute it hit, but you can still find it at Bergdorf Goodman. This is truly a standout piece. More (relatively affordable) options below.
