Just because the days are starting to become a little cooler, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice looking good for staying warm! This season is all about bright colors, unique textures, and different shapes. Here are five of this season’s most essential pieces – no matter your style, budget, taste, or event, guaranteed there will be something for you!
1. Classic Pea Coat
A wool pea coat never goes out of style. Black, gray, white, even bright colors are on the radar for this season. The best part is that these are great for dressing up or down… they’re perfect for throwing on to get to class, or to protect you from the elements on the way to an interview or a date when you’re all dressed up!
2. Jewel Tones
As mentioned previously, bright colors are in this season. What better way to brighten up these bleak winter days than with a pop of color everyone will see? The best part is that you are sure to find a coat in a jewel-toned color that fits your unique style preference.
3. (Faux) Fur Accents
No, you don’t have to channel your inner Cruella de Vil to rock this trend. This season, it’s all about the subtle accents – like fur around the neck, sleeves, or hemline of the coat. This is great for those super chilly days when you need a bit of extra warmth and your Grandma’s hand knitted scarf just isn’t cutting it.
4. The Re-Invented Puffer
This isn’t your old puffy coat that you used to play in the snow when you were a kid. This season, the ultimate of all warmth has been reimagined into something much more feminine. It’s perfect for class or running errands; this isn’t something that you can really dress up. This is all about comfort!
5. Textured
It’s all about texture this season! This jacket has a pronounced tweed-like texture, which not only adds extra warmth but is extremely fashion forward. Try this on milder days with a dress, as pictured above, or with jeans and flats. A jacket this cool should take center stage of your outfit!
