With winter in full swing, it can be hard to get out of a warm bed in the morning. And while bundling up in a fave comforter doesn't exactly scream stylish, cover-ups in buffalo patterns can offer a cozy-cute alternative during the cold-weather months.

Take Anne Hathaway, who stepped out in the chilly streets of Switzerland in a fringed blanket coat in a bold buffalo pattern. If the Les Misérables star's hard-to-miss coat is a little too daring for your taste in toppers, you can't go wrong with a shearling-lined statement coat like Nicky Hilton's, which is sure to punch up drab winter days with its eye-catching red-and-black pattern.

For more menswear-inspired pieces, like Taylor Swift's three-quarter sleeve flannel shirt, make sure to style your buffalo check piece so it reads more ladylike than lumberjack. Swift balances the rugged print with form-fitting skinny jeans, but a pair of leggings, like Vanessa Hudgen's black pair can also do the trick. 

So if you need a coat that's cozy and cute, you can, ahem, buffalo check that item off  your winter wardrobe wish list with a piece in the classic black-and-red pattern.
