New Style Idea

In order to gear up for winter, you need to be well-equipped. But before you go donning layers uninformed, you might want to know the different types of winter-appropriate pieces of outerwear. We’ve picked seven pieces of outerwear you should know, each of which is built with functionality in mind. So before you make a decision on which winter jacket will be your go-to, survey the field and get informed. Peacoats The peacoat has origins with the Dutch — its name likely comes from the term pijjakker— and it became popular sailors from the Netherlands, Great Britain and the United States.

Jennifer Lawrence is fresh off the heels of her wedding to Cooke Maroney last month, so it makes sense that we haven't seen much of her lately. (No news has been confirmed on their honeymoon, but we'd imagine the couple kept it as private as they did their nuptials.) Regardless, we just spotted the newlyweds for the first time since they tied the knot, and naturally, Lawrence's latest outfit is cold-weather perfection. While doing some shopping in NYC, the actress went with two trends that are shaping up to be huge for winter 2019 : knit dresses and leather knee-high boots. We love both of these items equally, but Lawrence proves just how good they look when worn together here. As the weather is only going to get chillier from here on out, we predict that we'll see a lot more of this outfit combo from other celebs and fashion girls alike. And, well, considering how put-together J.Law looks here, you're going to want to try out the combination for yourself, too.
