It’s getting to be winter, and we all know what that means… swearing by the tunnels, hibernating in our beds until the last possible second, and praying for the miracle that is a snow day. As every college woman understands, there is a delicate balance between looking like an oversized marshmallow and maintaining your perfectly crafted sense of style. Lucky for us, fashion brands realize this difficulty and have created a variety of coats to keep us toasty warm and fashionable this winter! Check out these 10 must-have coats for surviving winter in NYC.
1) The Bright Statement Coat
Stand out in a sea of black and brown with a bright colored jacket! A longer length keeps you warm while accentuating your bright style and personality.

For those days where the temperatures are not too terrible, try a structured blazer instead of a jacket. Throwing on a blazer is an easy way to polish your look for class or work.
