Keeping warm this season is all about drinking hot chocolate, sitting by a cozy fireplace, and wearing stylish winter coats. As the winter temperatures settle in, let’s take a look at some of the coolest and warmest coats available to keep you chic and toasty this season!
Wool coats:
Timeless and versatile, long wool coats have been around for ages and can be dressed up or down, depending on the season. A camel wool coat paired with a cream cable knit sweater and blue jeans is great for a casual look and is just as smart when worn over a little black dress for an evening out.
Shearling coats:
According to Vogue, shearling coats are popular this season for keeping out the winter chill, and they usually come in nice neutral tones such as brown, black, and white. This style goes great with jeans and a thick flannel shirt for a casual day look, or draped over a sweater and a maxi skirt for a night out with friends.
Puffer jackets:
Practical and warm, puffer jackets are low maintenance and are made with goose down and feathers to keep you warm this winter. Coming in various styles and colours, this jacket is versatile and lightweight, perfect for skiing and keeping warm in below freezing temperatures.
Faux fur coats:
Want to look fabulous on a budget? Try adding a faux fur coat to your collection in a fun animal print or a deep, rich brown. A piece like this adds a soft and luxurious look to your wardrobe that is elegant without endangering any animals.
Tailored coat:
For a more professional look, try wearing a tailored coat in a houndstooth tweed or a rich burgundy to add class to your wardrobe. Tailored coats pair well with suits, jeans, sweaters, and dresses and can be dressed up or down.
Teddy coats:
For a fun look, a teddy coat is a nice, casual piece that is both fuzzy and warm to the touch. This coat works well when worn over a sweatshirt, T-shirt, and jeans for a relaxed look or paired with a sweater dress and tall boots for a fun night out.
Down-filled vests:
For days when it isn’t too cold, down-filled vests are still in style and are great for wearing when running errands around town or walking from your car to campus. Lightweight and breathable, this is a good option, and a long vest is great to wear with dresses and pants.
Keeping warm this season can be fun, with many options to choose from. So don’t hesitate to try out some cool winter styles and see which coat(s) work best for you!
