It’s that time of the year again when we have to face the ultimate fashion dilemma: how to look fabulous… while fighting off frostbite. But no worries. Here are five coats to keep you stylish and warm(ish) this winter.
1. The Pimp
Someone has to say it. You need a fur coat. A faux fur coat. You need to be able to feel powerful and fabulous. The fur really adds that luxurious touch to any bland outfit.
2. The Classy
Maybe you’re attending a holiday party or going to dinner. You’ll need a classy coat. A nice wool (or not wool, because we’re not all made of money) coat will top off your clean girl aesthetic this season. Add a cute scarf around your neck and voilà! You’re ready to face those in-laws!
3. The Marshmallow
This is the puffy winter jacket that you have trouble storing when spring comes along. This is also the jacket that will save your shivering hands from that -40 degree (Celsius, duh) and 40 centimeters high snow weather.
4. The Utility
For those of you who are into skiing, snowboarding or even sledding when the mountains (or backyard hills) are covered in snow, you’ll need a warm winter jacket that will keep yourself warm and dry. In the meantime, I’ll be inside enjoying the crackling sounds of the yule log channel sipping on a sweet cup of hot cocoa.
5. The Useless
This one is purely for aesthetic and style purposes. Please wear this one with caution and use only when going from the house to the car to the party. We might say “beauty is pain” but a sniffling girly with a runny nose is not exactly what we were picturing.
Pro tip: Alcohol can make this coat warmer. But please drink responsibly.
So there you have it. With these five coats, you’re all set to look snazzy and stay cozy all winter long.
Let me know what your go-to winter coat is!
