We’re officially in coat season – and if the thought of covering up your outfit with a shapeless layer fills you with dread, this styling trick is for you.

The trick works across everything from trench coats to wool jackets, which makes it one of the more versatile additions you can make to your cold-weather styling arsenal. The statement belts to get you started are below.
