This is the time of year when nothing is more tempting than cozying up on the couch and binge-watching The Real Housewives. Inevitably, though, professional and personal commitments come a-knocking, forcing us to get dressed in our holiday best and brave the freezing temperatures. But piling on the layers doesn't mean we can't have fun with accessorizing. Just take Sarah Michelle Gellar's latest winter look, for instance.

On December 12, the actress was seen out and about in New York to promote her new Showtime series Dexter: New Blood bundled up in a chic all-black ensemble that included a cardigan sweater layered underneath a long wool coat that featured a chunky gold fastening and tailored trousers. She accessorized her cozy look with oversized Jackie'O sunglasses, a pebbled leather Loewe pouch, and a vampy pair of pointy-toed black heels.

Gellar's outfit proves that winter wear doesn't have to be boring, especially if you're willing to shake things up with an unexpected footwear choice. While others may have worn cozy boots or simple sneakers, a more dressy heel immediately adds a touch of ladylike elegance to any outfit, especially one with this many layers. Sure, they might not be the most practical option for weather conditions like snow and heavy winds, but life, and especially personal style, is all about balance, right?
Plus, the best part about strutting your stuff in a pair of black heels is that they go with just about any outfit, whether you wear them with trousers like Gellar, a fab midi-skirt, or even just a pair of jeans.
