Tips on Buying
Womens Coats

  • To save money, make sure you buy high quality coats that are versatile in color and design, that you can wear for years to come. Neutral colors like black, white, cream and brown go with everything!
  • If you live in an area where winter months are tough, wear a womens coat that closes tight with buttons, snaps or a zipper. Double-breast and belted wool coats are your best bets
  • Much of our body heat is lost around the head and neck (the area which is highly sensitive towards cold weather) so if you get easily cold, make sure it has a hood that firmly closes around your head. Or something that has a high-neck.

Let's take a closer look at what I'll be covering:

Topics and Fashion Tips on Womens Coats

Tips on Buying Womens Coats A Must-Read!

I recommend you to focus on solid-colored and simple-designed coats that can be worn with almost everything you have in your closet. Examples are: Trenchcoat or peacoat in solid black, dark brown, dark blue, charcoal grey or white/cream. These are versatile enough to match with all of your outfits!

That means that you don't need to buy coat fads that you'll only wear once or twice!

You might want to get an idea of what suits your shape and size, by determining your body shape first, here.

The most flattering length of coat length falls down to just above your knees -- or thighs if you're petite. Longer hemlines can make you look stubby or smaller than you really are.


Beige trenchcoat

Womens Trench Coats Essential!

A trenchcoat is great for almost anything -- work, school, going out and most casual and semi-formal occasions.

It's an absolute classic coat that never goes out of style! It's simple yet chic if you combine it with the right colors and accessories.
Tips:
  • For versatility choose a trenchoat in earthy colors like black, beige, brown or khaki
  • Wear a black trenchcoat as a formal or semi-formal evening coat
Everyday wool coats

Womens Winter Coats Essential!

A couple of wool coats for everyday day will keep you covered from fall to winter. Definitely a frequently-worn item which needs to be prioritized when fall is around the corner.
Tips:
  • Already own one that goes with everything? Then experiement with trendy coat designs like cocoon, high neck, bold colors
  • For a flattering look, choose a coat that falls down to just above your knees or shorter. Longer coats can make your frame look stubby

Womens Parkas Essential!

A parka coat is excellent for leisure trips (cabin, skiing etc.) and work well with casual outfits.

It's a nice break from classy coats and quick fix when it's really cold outside.

Fur-hood or not, it doesn't matter. But please, stick to belted (or something that cinchs your waist) parka coats, and stay away from the shapeless marshmellow coats.


Raincoat

Womens Rain Coats Essential!

A raincoat is handy for rainy days. But other than that, it will definitely look stupid!

The look should be trenchcoat'ish for a chic look but the fabric is water-resistant.

Tips:
  • Protect your hair from the rain with a hooded raincoat and preferably something that falls down to your thighs or knees
  • Spread some color on rainy and depressing days by wearing a raincoat in purple, yellow or red
