Styling tip: "The first step is a great coat, especially a red one-it breaks up the myriad of black outfits everyone has for winter. Try layering a long sweater under a short coat-the look is fantastic."

Styling tip: "I look to accessories to chic out my winter looks. My go-to is a loosely draped print scarf: Leopard is timeless, but this season, plaid will be the print du jour."

Celebrity Stylist: Miranda Almond
Styling tip: "I like the idea of layering a belted wool blazer under a simple single-breasted coat for extra warmth with style. A well cut coat with no buttons but a simple tie belt (in camel, cream or pale pink) or a traditional men's Crombie style (in classic navy, pale gray or black) are my fail-safe pieces for winter."
