Fall is here and winter is just a few months away. By now you probably have a favorite coat picked out that will get you through the cold weather. But having one is just not enough to sustain anyone throughout the colder months. There must be a selection of classic and transitional coats that will keep you covered. If you don’t have more than one coat, be prepared to take many trips to the dry cleaners and wait out in the cold while your coat is being cleaned. While it is not fashion suicide to commit to just one coat, it should be an inherited desire for women to want more than one of an item, even if it is just a coat.
Think of the coat that you purchase this fall as the centerpiece of your outfit. Everything that you wear underneath should be in harmony with what inevitably ends up on top. So if you are wearing a zebra printed coat, wear something underneath that compliments that print. Something like a red sheath dress will do the trick. Add a black statement necklace and black pumps and you are ready for a day at the office.
For a complete wardrobe, there are four essential coats that every woman needs. This should include a trench coat, a pea coat, a down coat, a faux fur coat, and a printed coat. Checkout the shopping list below for places to purchase these essentials.
