Winter Coats
Beauty Blog: Accessories and Clothing
If you live in Colorado, winter is upon us. You know that by the ton of snow you see when you look outside your door. The snow may stop falling for now but will soon return. Do you have a great winter coat for this season? Have you put off getting a new coat? Well we recently received some great information about some wonderful coats and wanted to share that with our readers. Check out some of these coats for fall.
- Topshop Petite Vintage Fur Coat for $180
Leopard-print pieces have been on the fall radar for some time now it is a piece of eye-catching outerwear. Topshop’s interpretation is executed perfectly: in addition to boasting a standout print, we also love the coat’s wrist-skimming sleeves. The slightly short length is a vintage-inspired touch that allows you to show off a rhinestone cuff or cheeky leather gloves (or both!). We could easily see someone with a love of old-school treasures—like Mary-Kate Olsen or Sienna Miller—taking this funky fur and wearing it as their everyday outerwear and suggest you do the same! After all, despite its inherently bold nature, a leopard coat is a surprisingly versatile piece! Take a styling tip from Valentino’s F/W 09 show and pair your animal-print coat with a caramel dress and ruby heels or simply throw it on over black jeans and a t-shirt, per Isabel Marant’s recent runway collection. Either way, you’ll bring a little animalistic edge to your ensemble, which is always a good thing! - H&M Wool Trench Coat for $129
H&M’s Wool Coat has such a European-fashion-editor vibe and is really the epitome of chic. In addition to adding a little continental sophistication to any outfit, this beautifully belted number is certainly on-trend for the season. (In fact, we spotted similarly cinched options on numerous fall runways, including Dries Van Noten and Bottega Veneta.) We love its boxy silhouette and subtle military-inspired details, a combo that comes across as casually sexy—especially when accented with tousled hair, bold red lips, and a killer pair of thigh-high boots. Finally, the oversized pockets offer a much-appreciated update to the trench-like design. All in all, this coat will take any effortless ensemble to the next level, perhaps that of a super-glam French editrix being snapped by the Sartorialist outside the tents! - Old Navy Funnel Neck Coat ($90) in Dark Heather Gray
Old Navy’s Funnel Neck Coat is perfect for a style-setter with a flair for the fashionably dramatic—as well as the functional—since the oversized collar allows you to keep extra-insulated with or without a statement scarf. The sash waist is another lovely figure-flattering detail and channels the hourglass shapes seen at the Prada and Louis Vuitton F/W 09 shows. Like our runway inspirations, we suggest you style this modern coat with the chic uniform of a working woman: tight-fitting pencil skirts and killer heels.
