The one garment that must be polished and up to date throughout the season is a coat. It’s the first thing that others see you in, so make their stares count.
So many creative approaches have been applied to outerwear. From printed to cinched, from studded to see through, just about every trend has been turned into a form of outerwear. While trends do come and go, it doesn’t mean you have to jump on the bandwagon each time the cold weather season hits. Instead stick to what makes sense for your wardrobe. For example, if you live an athletic, sporty lifestyle, most likely your wardrobe would contain sports bras, jogging pants, sweatshirts, and tees. Pair these items with a sport inspired coat. An anorak in a bright color would be a great companion to sportswear. Add matching tennis shoes and head gear and you’ll be ready for the cold weather.
The trench coat is something that is desired no matter what fashion demands. It’s classic appeal is craved by many fashion trendsetters, and versatility gives it a cemented status in various wardrobes. If you are craving a trench coat for fall, or just need to update an old standby to something more fashion forward, try this version from JCrew Factory.
A bold colored coat is another piece of outerwear to be desired. If you are craving a bright colored coat for fall or winter, then you are in luck because bold outerwear is a raging trend this season. Try this version of a bright coat from Bloomingdale’s. This bright blue colored coat would be best paired with metallic or neutral apparel and accessories.
Other coats that every woman’s wardrobe should withhold is a leather trench, a printed coat, and a fur coat. Try this version from Neiman Marcus, available online.
If you would rather have a printed coat, try this version from H&M.
Or if a fur coat is more your style, try this version from Nasty Gal.
