UPDATED DECEMBER 23, 2019 2:51 AM EST

White doesn’t seem the most obvious choice of color for the colder months however various celebrities, including  Sofia Vergara  and  Jennifer Lopez  have shown that it’s the way to go this year for on-trend style. And the coziest way of wearing it? In the form of a long, snuggly white coat. It’s the perfect elegant look for an evening out or a daytime walk in the snow.

Versatile

There are myriad ways of working the white coat trend. JLo looks amazing in an all-white combo, using different tones of white to create an elegant outfit. She wears a smart white blouse and trouser combination topped off with an almost cream-colored textured coat for perfect winter sophistication.

A warm layer

Donning a white coat over a delicate evening dress also works fantastically – as Kate Beckinsale shows. Her faux fur ivory coat by Jlux Label reaches almost down to the floor. Choosing a metallic shoe also adds an interesting contrast to an otherwise simple outfit.

Short dress, long sleeves

When temperatures are still quite mild, then wearing your coat over a short dress with extra long sleeves like Hailee Steinfeld is also an option. This is a great way to get more use out of your summer dresses for longer.

Extra long coat, with split

Ciara’s total white look consists of an extra long trench which almost completely covers the lower layers while leaving a hint of leg. This elegant option for the winter months is offset with a red manicure – giving the outfit a tiny pop of color.

Combined with animal print

Ariana Grande has also got on board the long white coat trend – specifically the thicker, cozier type – like this long goose-down puffer, called The Duvet by Wilfred. Take tips from the Thank U, Next singer by brightening the all-white look up with an animal print accessory or shoes.

To glam up informal outfits

Jeans and a black top are a closet staple but can be glammed-up with a white coat. Sofia Vergara shows the look off perfectly here. Combine it with a camel-colored bag for maximum trendiness!

Light, similar-toned elegance

Chiara Ferragni took the look to the next level with these ankle boots. The Italian influencer shows that light colors such as beige work just as well as pure white when combined together.

Playing around with textures and your silhouette by wearing a belt is another great way to make the most out of this trend.
