Winter Coats the Classic List of Must Haves!

Winter coats can have great style .Gone are the days when one winter coat would serve all your looks. The trend to diversify is here ! Unlike the hapless college student you once were you now need coats . I'm here to tell you that not all coats are equal and some may need a little more thought than others. It is well worth it to invest in certain classic coats and to maybe search the sales rack for others .

One thing you want to be sure of is that the outerwear is as good as the outfit underneath. I've done my research and I have some suggestions to put forward that will help you in deciding what coats you just need and what coats to splurge on.

WINTER COATS

1, A Trench Coat

No closet is complete without this classic.This is where I would suggest that you may make an investment that will pay off . A good classic trench coat should be waterproof and I suggest camel or taupe in color. If you already have made such an investment , you now add a secondary trench in a shorter style or surprising color.

2 The Duffle Coat

The Duffle coat is a winter classic, this outerwear option fastens with horn toggles, also known as walrus teeth, and rope closures. Other features include two large patch pockets, a hemline that falls right at the knee, and a hood. I remember it as the coat of all boy's and girl's who attended private school.
