With so many mid-winter clearance sales going on right now, why not perk up your wardrobe—and your mood—with a bright, cherry red coat? If you've never had a red coat, I think you'll be surprised to find that they match almost everything. Of course, red goes famously with black as Nicole Richie demonstrates with her adorable red coat, black skinny jeans, black knit beanie and one of her trademark Balenciaga handbags. Recreate this chic ensemble with budget finds from Arden B., Express, Forever 21 and more.
