Fashion 31 – Coats

Sharing is caring!

After this crazy cold weather across the country, we felt it was more than appropriate to talk about winter coats. While warmth is the most important factor in choosing a coat, style is still ranked pretty high in our books. Finding a coat that is both warm and doesn’t swallow you up is key. Try a more fitted coat or one with a belt or hidden drawstring at the waist.

Stay warm!

Looking cute when it’s cold can be tricky. But this long navy coat from Modcloth usually does the trick. I paired it with a simple berry colored bow dress (also Modcloth) and a gray cloche hat (H&M).

Another cold weather tip: when wearing tights, layer a nude or white pair underneath the first pair, especially if they’re netted. Today I wore nude pantyhose underneath a pair of white lace netted tights.

I love this bright blue coat from dELiAs. The color instantly stands out among the sea of black, grey and dark olive coats. A brighter colored coat can help cheer you up on grey winter days. To make the coat pop even more, I kept the rest of my outfit monochrome black with this fitted collared dress (H&M), opaque tights and ankle boots (Forever 21).

I also love this knit headband from Francesca’s. It keeps my ears warm without giving me hat hair!
