Winter Coat Perfection

My good friend asked me yesterday to find her a great winter coat.  I thought, yeah of course, no problem! But then I really thought about the winter coat.  Do you realize how important that is?  This is a staple for almost half of the year.  You wear it every single day to work, to the store, out on the town; and it's something everyone sees you in!  This is huge.

But, after some searching I came up with some pretty good picks.  She wanted a dark colored coat, not belted. Please also note that she said she is willing to drop more than $100 on it so that is why you will see some pricier options.  Let us begin...

Banana Republic, Ruffle Car Coat, $225
Hello chic and versatile.  I love this coat! I'm a huge fan of the car coat length, I have one myself, but look at this great waistline AND detailing on the sleeves.

J Crew Factory, tweed carlin coat, $138
I'm thinking Audrey Hepburn would have definitely wore this.

I love this coat.  Kind of sporty but that rounded collar give so much girly flare.

I love the swing effect of this coat, and the purple would pair great with colorful scarves.

Hi, my name is gorgeous.

I LOVE this coat! Hooded, knee length, nips in at the waist and it comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors!


So those are some of my picks for her.  I think they're awesome because they are super warm, professional and fashionable.  Winter coats come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so make sure you know your size before purchasing.  Also, don't forget to love your tailor.  Don't love the hemline on the coat? No problem, buy it and take it to the tailor and make it fit you and your style.

Be fabulous today!

  1. Great finds! I really love the color of the toggle coat but I have one that looks more like the Michael Kors one! and I adore that you wrote about tailoring your coat. I get everything tailored! Jeans, tops, coats! Things just look better when they're fit to your body! And it's not that pricy either!
