If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       The Best Comedy Movies of All Time   A comedy classic is the best medicine of them all. That brings us to the best of the best. There are comedies coming out all the time—good ones that add to the canon, but to become a great, you have to have a few things. Part of it is a little bit of time, to make sure the laughs weren't just in the moment. The next is a die-hard fan base that will keep the story alive. And the third part is a little bit of movie magic that's impossible to describe. Dark comedies, slapstick, rom coms... the best of their genres all have it. Even if you're not the type to laugh out loud at comedies, the following films are sure to elicit some small giggle, or perhaps even one of those loud, surprising guffaws.

Give us a camp-collar shirt and a drink with a little umbrella in it and we're nothing if not content. But give us a gigantic swath of fabric and a few strategically placed buttons to shield us from the cold, and we're positively giddy. In this golden age of outerwear, you don't have to lay out all that cash if you don't want to. Instead, you could shell out just under $50 and find yourself possessed of a damn good balmacaan—a time-tested, raglan-sleeved topcoat that you can wear with everything from a hoodie and jeans to your sharpest suit—from Uniqlo. It's a poly/rayon/acrylic blend that's designed to feel soft, not scratchy, and still ably fend off the early-morning chill. And owing to the way Uniqlo has sized its generously cut offering—which is 50 percent off its original price of $99.90, which means it's final sale—you'll want to take a size smaller than normal.

It should be. Because now that we're well and truly into the dog days of winter (and you finally—finally!—feel ready to really start dressin'), you shouldn't be thinking about anything more than the essential button-down shirt. Chief among them? The oxford-cloth button-down, the flannel button-down, the denim button-down, the printed button-down, and finally, the trusty overshirt. Some combination of this motley crew will always make for an all-star lineup in your regular rotation, and together (not to wantonly mix metaphors here) they represent the load-bearing beams of winter style around which you should carefully build your fits. Try pairing a beefy flannel with slouchy denim and a some thoroughly scuffed slip-ons a la Brad Pritt. Or, hell, a striped OCBD with sweatpants, thick camp socks, retro sneakers, and a beanie up top for good measure. As long as you're trying, and thinking a little outside of the box, you really can't go wrong.
