There are a few people in my inner circle who enjoy throwing outdoor holiday parties. Even in California, where these people live, it is cold outside after dark in December and January.

If you’re wearing this to a Christmas party or New Year’s Eve party, you’ll ideally want to choose a dressier coat than the casual merino wool jacket I’m wearing in the pics posted above.
