From wearing trenches as dresses to sporting bright pink faux fur with matching shoes, Australia's style set proved your outerwear can be the defining feature in one very chic - and very warm - outfit.
Furthermore, Pinterest has seen teddy coats trending as the cold rolls in - with a 280% increase in saves compared to last year, and a 1200% increase globally. The aforementioned faux fur coats are also officially a happening thing Down Under, with a 50% increase in saves this year.
