4 Coats You’ll Need This Season

Ok, is it just me or did it become cold overnight? Personally, I was not ready to pull out my humongous winter coats. I waited until the very last second to pack away my denim jackets. I couldn’t fathom my leather jackets not be enough for the weather! While I was doing so, I couldn’t help but wonder if I needed new coats for the season. Clearly I have a habit of buying that I don’t need or that I already have, it’s only because I need it in every color (I mean who doesn’t). While I may need to lay off the spending I figured I will tell you all some coats you’ll need this season. The thing about coats is that this is your “outfit” while you’re trying to fight the cold this is the first thing that people see. This is your biggest statement piece.

Teddy

When Teddy coats first made it’s debut they were known for the camel color oversize jacket made out of a faux fur or shearling material. When I first was introduced to it I was in love it literally feels like a teddy bear on you! It is so warm either material will easily brace you for the any cold wind. Now that they are sort-out in the fashion world, they now have a teddy coat in every color so won’t feel left out I love a pastel color or a neutral color to pull any look together.

Trench

Oh, the classic Trench coat. While the origin dates back to the 1900s for military officers, it has lasted through decades as a timeless piece of fashion. The double breast, wide lapel, double lining, and belted at the waist is all essential for the cold weather. Trench coats comes in a variation of material but the one that is most needed is wool fabric that is heavy enough to keep you warm some of my favorites are from Asos and H&M.

Puffer

If you live in a cold climate than a puffer is what you NEED. I love puffers honestly they evolved from cropped, waist, and maxi length to the different textures of velvet, leather, and satin to name of few. But they still provide that same level of warmth. They have a down which is made out of fine soft feather found closest to a bird’s skin that provides a “heat trap” fluff that is perfect for thermal insulation some also has synthetic insulations which is just as good but holds better in the washer.

Parka

Now, don’t let Puffers and Parkas get you confused while they are constructed similarly they have noticeable differences. Parka’s are considered a thicken down coat now remember the downing is what carries the thermal insulation the traditional style has a fur lining and hood to add that extra warmth. Parka’s are mostly worn in harsher cold weather the extended length of the jacket they typically fall mid thigh or longer to keep the warmth inside. Parka can found anywhere mostly department stores here are some favorites from J.Crew and Macy’s.
