Everyone needs at least one bright coat in her closet. Yes, black is chic and goes with everything, but in the middle of winter, you need a pick-me-up! Did you know that wearing the color red has been shown to stimulate our energy and enthusiasm? Olivia Palermo got the memo – here she is walking around NYC in a stylish red peacoat (adore the caramel-colored leather pockets!). Start seeing red in one of these hot numbers:

BB Dakota Rynn Coat: I love to wear blazers all the time in the winter, but I know for all of you Snobs living in colder climates, it’s just not feasible. This extra-long BB Dakota is the perfect solution! On ShopBop for $115.

Moschino Cheap and Chic Ruffled Wool and Cashmere-Blend Coat: Another issue with winter weather is that it demands you bundle up and cover whatever incredible outfit you’ve put together – at least with these ruffles, you can keep a feminine edge. On Net-a-Porter for $1,395.

Akris Long-Sleeve Hooded Anorak: I’m feeling a little ‘90s influence here, and I like it! You’ll look like you belong out on Hyannis Port with the Kennedys. Pre-order at Neiman Marcus for $2,990.

Rag & Bone Cropped Duffel Coat: In blustery weather, the importance of a hood cannot be stressed enough. Don’t let your ears (or hair!) suffer. At Barneys New York for $539 (from $895).

Asos Cute Military Fit and Flare Coat: They should call it Frugal Snob Fit and Flare! This traditionally masculine style is given a little sweetness with a precious Peter Pan collar. On Asos for $158.31.
