Style Guide: Find Your Fall Coat
Picking the perfect coat to carry you through fall and winter is a serious matter. Ideally, you want something stylish, warm, office (or school) friendly and easy to wear. The best coats transcend trends. Like your favorite pair of jeans, a great coat must be something you can easily throw on at a moment's notice and still feel fabulous. No questions asked. Personally, I've always loved coats with a more classic silhouette such as trench coats and peacoats. They are timeless and chic, warm yet sleek. However, this year I've also been loving retro styles and coats with a more relaxed structure (see "neutral" collage below). Needless to say, choosing the perfect coat is a tough task. The market is flooded with choices, making it difficult to commit. So what's a girl to do when the mercury drops? Face the cold front with one of these classic yet stylish selections I've put together for you...
Paper Crown Bluet Coat, Anthropologie Eastward Dress Coat, Topshop Textured Peter Pan Swing Coat, Tibi Embellished Wool Coat

Which coat style are you? This year I think I'm leaning toward ladylike...

Great suggestions. Thanks! I just found a really good deal at Old Navy for a leopard print peacoat. It was 50% off, which made it only $50! It's still shipping but I let you know if it's as good in person as it looks online.

Peacoat coats are one of the most comfortable coats that you could possibly buy. JcPenney has a bunch for less than $100!

I am searching for a nice lady like coat this season. But I want it in an electric color like electric blue or purple. Even a coral pink would do.

I am OBSESSED with coats. Every winter if my mom and I are out shopping, she knows to steer me clear of the coat sales or else I will buy all of them! BUT I am going to New York for New Years, so it looks like I have an excuse to invest in a few new ones! I am thinking a toggle coat....

Thanks so much for doing a coat post because I'm having touble finding new coats that look good but keep warm. Could you do a post for winter coats? Thanks!

My favourit coat is the ladylike, because they make a look very clean and sophisticated. But on the weekends Just to go shopping or have a walk in the park I usally wear the peacoat.
I love coats... I have lots of them.

I generally go for the peacoats, but also have some ladylike pieces in a neutral color. Having a neutral definitely makes an outfit look more classy in my opinion and allows for my clothes under to be more bolder looking!

AHH. I live in probably one of the coldest climates ever, so even by fall I have to have an insanely warm jacket and no peacoat will do it. I just picked up this new fall jacket... you can click here to view it. SO warm!
