You may spend a lot of time searching for the best boots, the choicest bags and most coveted jeans. But, once the weather gets chilly, the most important item in your closet is your coat. But you don’t have to sacrifice style to stay warm. Whether the weather is cool, cold or freezing, there are myriad choices when it comes to stylish winter outerwear. And here are our favorites:
Pea Coat
Whether in black, navy, camel or, this season’s favorite, army green, a wool pea coat is a classic. It can be worn effortlessly over jeans or even thrown over a dress. Warm and stylish, it’s always a winner.
Leather
Every girl needs to feel a bit biker-chick sometimes. Whether your leather comes in a cropped, zipped moto style or a Fonz-approved, traditional look, a leather winter jacket is always a good investment.
Parka
Puffers and parkas show no sign of slowing down this winter season. With pockets, ubercute styling and, often, great fur lined hoods, the parka is the one of the best ways to stay warm this season.
Poncho
This season, ponchos have been elevated to high fashion. You can find this versatile wrap in knits, plaid, wool, nylon, faux fur and more and they can be thrown over casual, business or even dressed-up looks. Ponchos will add whimsy to any wardrobe item.
Sure, no one can have them all, but a few coats are sure to keep you warm and smiling this winter.
