A longline coat with faux fur run everywhere it does the most good. The collar is wide and notched so it turns up around the neck, the cuffs are deep enough to cover the wrist, and the fur facing carries all the way down the front edge, which means the coat still reads warm when you wear it open.

Against all that texture the shell panels stay smooth and matte, and that contrast is what keeps the coat from looking fussy. It is cut roomy through the shoulder and body, so a heavy sweater goes underneath without pulling anywhere across the back. Patch pockets sit at the chest and the hip, both faced in the same fur, and the double-breasted snap fastening closes across the chest with no gap left at the lapel. The snaps sit close enough together that the front holds its line rather than pulling apart between them.
