My favorite new go-to, now on our OpenSky accessories shop. It’s crazy good (and only $60!).

This month, we seek the refuge of thick outerwear, oversized coats and cozy jackets to keep the chill at bay. More often than not, we see people who do it in style. It's definitely the season to take advantage of the wealth of striking jackets, coats and capes to amplify one's ensemble.
We've been spying on the blogosphere and here are the outfits that won our hearts over:
We've always recommended a dose of color to cure a serious monochrome malaise. Something like a neon coat would do well in giving a look that extra ounce of cuteness. Megan did just that with her Forever 21 swing coat. Her cheery yellow coat provided a sharp but eye-catching contrast to her two-tone shirtdress.
There's something about basic pieces that draw us. Simple looks like the knitted sweater and pinstripe pants outfit Martyna wore looks very chic, especially when worn with a grey coat just like what she had here. Such a look can never get old.
Treasure a good leather jacket for it will serve you well in the fashion department. It's a quick add-on to ensembles you need not think through. It just blends in well no matter what your style is. Take a cue from San Francisco-based blogger, Kathleen, who rocked her sleek brown leather jacket to perfection.
Every month, we find ourselves including printed coats, especially those with big houndstooth prints. They are great to wear when you are looking for just a touch of quirkiness to an outfit. We are particularly smitten with Anetka's coat, which she wore with a pink cable-knitted sweater, a pair of pants and a pair of booties.
Bundled up in one of the most interesting coats we have seen in a while is Pierluigi. Need we say more about his zipped up coat and its interesting lapel detail? His photo speaks for itself.
Stay tuned for the second half of our post. More of your favorite bloggers will be featured!

You are reading the second part of our favorite jacket looks for the month of December. If you haven't read the first part yet, backtrack to our first post and see which bloggers had some of the most enviable outerwear pieces.
Let's not dawdle any longer. Here's the rest of the fashionable bunch:
As much as one likes to dress up in the dead of winter, one just can't muster the creativity and energy when the temperature drops below zero degrees! In that case, you need something easy and breezy to keep you in your style game. Here's an inspiring look from Tini Tani. Can someone put that jacket in our closets, please?
We can't help but love pastel-colored coats. They're just an instant pick-me-upper! Estefania's mint green coat had us dreaming of spring but without killing our winter vibe.
Fan of capes? So are we. What's not to love? It can be worn with a sweater for instant glam. We are gushing over Miha's look. All the right pieces tied together by one chic black cape? Winter inspiration right there!
We aren't ever growing out of our love for plaid coats. They always come handy in the fashion department. After all, nothing like a little preppy touch to give an outfit more statement! Check out Attalia's blue plaid coat. Our minds are already abuzz with ways to style this!
How does one make denim jackets look great this season? We suggest Laura's fuss-free streetstyle outfit. The slouchy denim jacket has been styled to perfection. Laura rolled the sleeves up to reveal a cozy sweater. She wore this with a pair of shorts and a shirt tied around her waist but the shorts can just as easily be replaced with a pair of pants.
That's how we send off 2013! It's been a great year but we can't wait to get started in spying more amazing jacket looks this year.

Aside from leather moto jackets, there's another way to channel a more masculine and tougher vibe in your outfits: go the army route! Yes, hunter green parka jackets and camouflage prints are making a comeback.
If you remember, they were pretty big a few seasons ago, but the interest on army style dissipated. Lately, however, it looks like the fashion industry has renewed its fascination with military-inspired outerwear, so they're back in full force!
We are totally getting inspiration from the following fashion bloggers who are also smitten with the military trend:
It's easy to love Karla's ingenious play on the army trend. You can tell she took inspiration from it, but her look is not overly masculine. She paired her jacket with earth-tone pieces to keep the look cohesive but threw in a hat for that extra edgy look.
Aika managed to make the camo jacket look chic by wearing it with denim shorts and a layered top. It also takes good accessories to make this look work. Aika threw in a pop of red with her bag and a little Perspex with her pair of shoes.
I suspect Flavia can wear a flour sack and make it look stylish. She looks polished from head to toe in an army-style jacket and a leather ensemble.
Marilyn layered a floral dress over a denim one, and then capped off the look with an army-style jacket! Very clever. It works, too! It's a wonderful summer style to covet if you are feeling a tad adventurous.
Army jackets too warm for the summer? Try army vests like what Meri is wearing in this photo. She definitely had spunky and grungy in mind when she came up with this outfit as there are a lot of tough elements in it. Pile on accessories like statement necklaces and bracelets for a more street-style vibe to your army-inspired ensemble.
Inspired by these bloggers? You, too, can rock the army trend. Here are some pieces to snap up:

Selena Gomez recently became the face of Adidas' eponymous line, NEO. The pop star couldn't be more ecstatic about this recent stint, always tweeting about it and flaunting the newest NEO designs.
In fact, she was seen sporting a neon yellow hoodie from the said brand as she touched down in Los Angeles airport yesterday after staying in Europe for a NEO fan event.
If Selena's goal is to stay off the radar, she is failing miserably because that neon hoodie draws attention like moths to flame. And although the hoodie has a sporty flair, she has no qualms pairing it up with more classic pieces, such as her favorite Viktor & Rolf Bombette bag and ankle-high booties.
The Selena Gomez collection for the Adidas Neo lookbook can be viewed here if you feel like taking a peek at what this Adidas line has to offer. We couldn't find Selena's hoodie in their shop, though.
If you love yellow hoodies as much as Selena, try the following alternatives:

Mollie King has stunned us once again with her choice of outdoor wear as she made her way to the Kiss FM studios in London on July 1.
The 26-year-old singer rocked a statement leopard-print coat over her black outfit for a radio interview. She also wore matching accessories, including her tan bag and shoes. This look was perfectly put together! Check her out:
The leopard-print design on this coat is different from the usual animal prints we see. It actually seems more minimalist. Moreover, the silhouette of this coat is quite simple, but the cropped sleeves are a stylish detail.
This coat is sure to help you bring your fashion A-game this season! Wear it with monochrome classics just like Mollie did to achieve an elegant look that's hard to miss!

No, Michelle Trachtenberg isn't going to be cast in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. She was just literally in an all-gray ensemble. Despite this monochrome outfit, though, Michelle looks downright chic.
She could be easily mistaken for her Gossip Girl alter ego, Georgina Sparks. Who knew an all-gray ensemble could look so chic?
I can't really see if she was wearing a dress or a top and a matching hi-lo skirt, but she paired this up with a chic printed blazer. The classic blazer prevented this outfit from looking too ho-hum. Plus, it also gave Michelle a classy and business-chic aura. I think this is a look one can pull off any day, whether for work or for play.
Too bad I haven't been able to find out from which brand or label the actress' blazer is. But if you are going to achieve a similar look, you'll want to check out the following:
