Is it just me, or does February hit and suddenly all you can think about is being somewhere bundled up by a fire, properly cozy. I want to be so layered that I don’t even remember what I put on underneath. I love a ski trip for that reason. I leave in the morning fully encased—coat, gloves, thermals, layers, and two pairs of socks. Then at some point, I’m inside somewhere warm, taking everything off, and then I’m reminded of whatever I chose to wear underneath.
This made me realize that what’s underneath the layers doesn’t always have to just be practical. It can be something fun that makes a statement. In particular, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the Carelli Dolly Jacket. I don’t know if it’s the faux pony hair, the animal print, the fur cuffs, or the shape and fit. It’s exactly the kind of piece I want to have on underneath and open my coat to. I’ve realized I’d rather bring a jacket like this than a suitcase full of backups that never get worn and stay in my luggage.
Here are a few similar jackets I have my eye on that are perfect for this.
The Fur Jacket Style: Structured Shoulders and Animal Print
I’ve had my eye on the viral Phoebe Philo teddy coat for the longest time, so when I saw the shoulder pads on this Isabel Marant I fell in love.

My Go-To Formula For Staying Chic and Warm in the Snow
I love the fur trim of this puffer jacket, and I’m obsessed with pairing it with my favorite Nour Hammour hat. My ultimate lesson in cold-weather proportions is having sleek and simple on the bottom and creating a statement at the top.
