My Investment Piece: Louis Vuitton cashmere coat, $2,700 (866-VUITTON for stores).
Why I've Gotta Have It: This coat represents two of my favorite trends — menswear and military. It's timeless and can pull any look together, which means it's money well spent!
Big Night Look: A bold, playful skirt offset by a simple white tank makes the coat evening-appropriate.
Tips: Amp up the ensemble with textured monochromatic stilettos.
Fight the onset of pale winter legs with a quick bronzer. Try Clinique Self Sun Body Tinted Lotion in Medium-Deep ($21; clinique.com).
