We love timeless, chic coats. Which cozy options will end up in your wardrobe?
Winter coats and jackets that will “wow” and elevate your cold-weather wardrobe!
In today’s post, we’re highlighting a range of cozy and stylish coats, jackets, and capes. From chic dress coats and jackets to versatile puffers, captivating capes, and luxurious shearlings, we’ve got you covered. These timeless pieces will elevate any outfit, whether it’s for a formal occasion, a casual day out, or even for après ski.
Investing in one of these stunning pieces will ensure your chic for years to come. And if you’re considering gifting one of these treasures for the holidays, it’s guaranteed to bring a big smile to the recipient’s face – even if that recipient happens to be you!
DRESS COATS
Timeless cold-weather coats are a lifetime investment. They are obviously necessary for warmth, but they also serve as a chic third piece that makes a style statement. They act as a polishing finish to your look, and that has a huge impact. When looking for a coat, think in terms of understated chic. We’re talking simple lines for these essential winter wardrobe showstoppers.
Your first coat should be black.
Remember that when building your wardrobe, the first winter coat color to invest in is black. Black gets you everywhere in chic style. If you were my personal client, this is the direction I’d head you in. Why? Black coats get you through not only the day but also dinner, cocktails, the theatre, and other evening activities.
If you already own a black coat and want to invest in a second, go for the camel. Camel is also fabulously timeless; however, keep in mind that it does NOT work for evening. Camel coats are for daytime use only. For this reason, I advise that you invest in a black coat first. You will be very glad that you paid attention to my counsel as you wear these treasures for years.
Regardless of the color you choose, you want to stay with simple, clean, understated lines. In other words, look for a timeless wrap coat, a simple A-line coat, or even a double-breasted coat. These three styles are classically chic.
There are also other styles to consider, so find what speaks to your chic-loving soul and make it your own. Just remember to keep this cozy investment piece simple and understated.
Classic winter coat colors to love
If you already own both black and camel coats, no worries—we have lots more for you to see!
I am a huge fan of the luxe look of grey, brown, winter white, and a few other color coats. These chic shades add a phenomenal luxurious impact to your look. This is especially true when worn with a monochromatic color palette. In fact, this is the ultimate in chic. Combining a winter white top and bottom with a winter white coat is perfect for evening, too.
Think in terms of dinners out, cocktail looks, and everything else. Wow! Now, this look is a true showstopper. You should also note that your winter white, brown, and grey coats pair beautifully with all colors. That said, mixing them with your favorite fall looks, whether dressy or casual, is a breeze.
JACKETS TO KEEP YOU WARM—AND CHIC!
The jackets in this section run from timeless chic to edgy and fun. Each is a fabulous candidate for your evergreen wardrobe—even the edgy jackets. I know as you go through them, you will agree. Use them most for dressy and casual looks. Any you choose will make you so happy with the chic and “pop” they will bring to your look. And should you choose to gift one, well, nothing more needs to be said!
PUFFERS—COATS AND JACKETS
Cozy and chic puffer coats and jackets are both practical and fun to pop your look, whether you are on the slopes or just knocking around. You will see a wide variety from long to short puffers. The “WOW” factor is enormous, and the usefulness of any of these pieces will, I believe, be self-evident.
So, whether you are skiing or simply looking for serious warmth, we’ve got you covered—literally! These treasures work in the city or your favorite mountain resort and will have you looking chic and feeling cozy all winter long.
Wear your puffers over a cozy cashmere sweater and pair them with jeans and chunky lug-sole boots. And in case you were wondering, they look incredible with wide, straight, or flare-leg jeans.
When it comes to wearing the longer puffers, I’d like to share a wardrobing hint. Puffers are truly chic and look fabulous worn with pointy-toe booties and bootcut, flare-leg, or even wide-leg jeans. I promise you will love this look.
Each piece featured here is a treasure you will wear for years to come. Isn’t it time you warmed up with a chic and fabulous new puffer?
FABULOUS CAPES
I decided to include capes this year because, as a finishing third piece, these ever-so-yummy outerwear items are showstoppers. They are not suitable for absolute freezing weather, but when it is simply chilly, you are good to go. The polish these gorgeous treasures bring to your look is off the charts and something you will be stopped for often. Each is neutral, so mixing and matching with either casual or dressier looks is simple. Wow!
SHEARLINGS—FOR THE SERIOUS “WOW” FACTOR
Shearlings bring that sort of Aspen feel and a lot of luxury to your look. They are timeless pieces that though casual, are treasures you will look for an excuse to wear. They are all absolute showstoppers.
I have included a variety of price points so there will be something for each of us. There may even be a gift for that loved one who is all about winter casual chic.
SUMMING IT UP
In review, your winter coats and jackets, be they dressy or casual, are investment pieces that will not only make a statement but will impact your look!
Which of these treasures will keep you cozy and toasty warm this winter? Enjoy your coat and jacket journey—it could easily be a lifetime love affair!
