Look for Less: Susan Boyle
The menswear-inspired look that's so trendy right now is also surprisingly easy to wear, even if you're just running errands or decorating a holiday tree. Just be sure to choose well-proportioned pieces in a fluid fabric -- like Susan's jeans and bright blazer -- and don't forget a couple feminine finishing touches, like a chic patterned scarf and perfectly-manicured nailed in a great shade of red.

Whether you're singing neighborhood carols or -- like Susan Boyle -- belting out hits on "The Today Show," all it takes is a couple great pieces to look terrific (and feel toasty!) outdoors this time of the year. Simply start with a classic coat with an eye-catching detail or two, like bold buttons or a fur collar, and add a few snazzy accessories, like a festive knitted scarf and a perfect pair of black pumps.
