Winter weather definitely has its upsides: snow days that seem to come right when you need them, ski trips with friends, and the beauty of scenic landscapes blanketed in white. However, the season is certainly not without its headaches, including the challenge of how to bundle up without sacrificing style. If you're in need of some cold-weather outfit guidance, simply look to today's ten smart dressers, each of whom manage to look chic despite bone-chilling temperatures. From Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's elegant ensemble to Gwen Stefani's rocker outfit, today's What They Wear story is sure to offer inclement weather inspiration aplenty!

n the winter, a good knit is practically indispensable (along with hot cocoa and marshmallows, if you ask us!). Several stylish trailblazers seem to agree with our sentiment (about knits, though quite possibly, the hot cocoa as well). Lately, we've noticed a bevy of knits cropping up on sartorially savvy ladies, like Rihanna and Olivia Palermo, in the form of cozy cardigans, chunky turtlenecks, and even dazzling dresses. Allow us to show you exactly How They Wear this versatile cold-weather trend!

We know what you're thinking: "Another print trend?" It's true, dear readers, they just keep on coming! Right when you thought you'd seen it all-from wild animal patterns to eye-popping digital designs-one more fantastic idea comes knocking on your closet door. This time, the motif is subtler, yet equally dazzling, and of microscopic proportions. From little lips to itsy-bitsy stars, petite prints are making a major statement this season, which explains why so many tastemakers-Diane Kruger, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, and Jessica Stam included-are wearing them, and more importantly, the reason they're featured in today's Trend Report!

Though there are many ways to freshen up our winter wardrobes, we are particularly excited about one of the season's most accessible transitional pieces: the printed blazer. Adored by stylish ladies like Margherita Missoni and Whitney Port, these high-impact jackets are festooned with everything from elegant floral patterns to cool graphic designs. This must-have essential instantly elevates any cold-weather ensemble-you can use one to punch up an after-hours outfit or give your nine-to-five mix a modern update-and still looks chic come spring and summer! Versatile and with sartorial longevity in spades, it's no wonder why we're spotlighting the printed blazer in today's Trend Report.

We were thinking about wardrobe staples the other day, musing on why these essentials become so necessary, and suddenly it hit us. Much like Madonna, the high priestess of reinvention, these pieces gain their timeless, universal appeal through their ability to adapt and evolve with the latest trends. Today's subject-the trench coat-illustrates this point perfectly. Officially designed in 1901 by Thomas Burberry, the original trench was simple in silhouette and decidedly utilitarian in both use (a raincoat for British military officers) and material (gabardine). Since then, however, designers have updated the trench in countless ways, which explains why it's always one of the most in-demand outerwear options on the market. Currently worn by tastemakers like Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Kate Moss, this coat is still the coolest, which is exactly why we're focusing on it in today's How They Wear story. We've got a fabulous roundup of some of the best trenches available now, as well as tons of outfit ideas involving this must-have piece, so surely you'll find something that works for you!

When it comes to personal style, is there anything more admirable, enviable, and coveted than effortlessly chic looks? Invariably spotted on the coolest girls, these ensembles are sophisticated and sleek, yet never make the wearer look like she tried too hard. Today's Girl of the Month, Gia Coppola, is the perfect embodiment of this sort of dressing, but she's so much more than the sum of her amazing wardrobe. In addition to her noteworthy style, Coppola is also a savvy photographer and filmmaker; she's shot for Vogue Nippon and directed films for both Opening Ceremony and Zac Posen for Target. And if that wasn't impressive enough, the brunette beauty also recently modeled for LA-based brand Whetherly's S/S 12 lookbook, proving she's equally talented in front of the camera too! With her aptness for all things creative, today's GOTM is certainly a fine inspiration!

When considering the counterculture uniform of the '60s, there's one specific element that immediately comes to mind: fringe! That's right, this frayed embellishment played a major role in some of the most iconic musicians' wardrobes, like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, whom both paired fringed jackets with bell bottoms and tie-dye. Now, thanks to designers like Isabel Marant and a handful of fashion's finest, fringe is having a serious moment again. Adorning everything from outerwear (Chanel Iman and Ruby Aldridge) to accessories (Ashley Olsen and Kate Moss), fringe is the perfect way to inject your day-to-day looks with a little rock 'n' roll spirit. To help you create some of the coolest outfits this winter, we've rounded up a selection of stylephiles who have all nailed this look in today's How They Wear story.
