 Chic coats are essential for staying stylish when the temperature drops. These are 5 jackets every Boone collegiette needs (and can afford) to have in their closet this winter.
1.     Quilted Jacket: This classic Burberry coat has been around for years, but L.L. Bean recently came out with their own version. The down lining keeps you warm while still looking cute. Pairs perfectly with a simple top, jeans, and brown riding boots.
2.     Utility Jacket: Although Barbour jackets aren’t new, this style has become really popular this season. Military inspired coats have been spotted everywhere, and this J. Crew one is especially cute. When going out, contrast the sturdy style with a sparkly top, leggings, and combat boots.
3.     Peacoats: A great style to dress up or dress down, peacoats can be found almost anywhere these days. A bright colored peacoat can liven up a dull winter day and this yellow one is perfect for App State football games!
4.     Athletic: Whether you’re a skier, snowboarder, or just like making snow angels, a heavy winter jacket is essential in Boone. An over-sized tee, leggings and bean boots complete the look to keep you cute and comfy.
5.     Casual: For those crazy Boone days when the temperature rises 20 degrees by the afternoon, a light fleece jacket is a must-have. Patagonia is always popular, but this Columbia style gets the job done for more than half the price. Â
