We know that we're always lauding the merits of having a bright and cheerful winter coat, but sometimes when the snow is coming down hard and you can barely muster the effort to pull a comb through your hair, you just gotta accept that Old Faithful The Coat is just going to have to do. But to give your faded parka a facelift, all it takes is a simple belt and—voila! Instant chicness! If your belt is too long, tuck it through the top or tie a double-knot for an even more interesting look. Take a cue from our winter style stars who have all livened up their dark, winter coats by cinching them.
