Strategies to Buying the Perfect Coat

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 extends down to just above your knees -- or thighs if you're petite. Longer hemlines can make you look stubby or shorter, unless you're tall and lean!

How to Buy a Coat

Mini notebook icon 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!

Mini notebook icon 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

Mini notebook icon 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.

Mini notebook icon Protect your hair from the rain with a hooded raincoat and preferably something that falls down to your thighs or knees

Mini notebook icon Spread some color on rainy and depressing days by wearing a raincoat in purple, yellow or red
