Cool Coats for Your Winter Warm-Up

Lots of fabulous coats are warming up the winter season this year!   Each coat has its individual statement feature that makes it unique. You will see anything from ruffles, oversized toggle buttons, coats with volume at the shoulders and collars, faux fur and even coats that daunt this seasons risky plaid print. With the economy still being in its downfall, be sure to invest in a coat that you can carry over to next season.  However, don't fear tapping into the trendier side, as long as you think you'll get enough wear for your buck!


DKNY's Ruffle Coat is one of my favorites this season. Remaining on trend, delicate ruffles run along the front of the coat up to the funnel-like stand collar. With hidden buttons, on-seam pockets and a slimming silhouette, this winter white coat is simply stunning.  


Oversized toggle closures draw positive attention to this Guess Hooded Jacket. The tangerine color offers a warm glow for the winter season.  Inclusive of a hood, two front pockets and button details on the cuffs, you'll be just as stylish as you will be warm!




Old Navy has a great collection of coats this season at their notoriously affordable prices. Their Double-Breasted Wool Blend Coat is a great investment for a classic look. At under $100, this coat has a stylish funnel neck collar you can wear up or buttoned down for more ventilation. Available in basic colors like Black Jack (left) and Chinchilla (right), this garment is guaranteed to coordinate with your entire wardrobe and will last through infinite seasons with its traditional look.



Fashion your plaid this season with Old Navy's Swing Coat in 'Grey Plaid' or 'Blue Plaid.' Warm up your winter with this swing style silhouette designed with a double-breasted front and a unique turnover collar. If you love the coat but hesitate purchasing a plaid, it's also available in Ancho Chili and Black Jack.
