Winter Coats

Its’s cold outside.

T-shirts and jumpers just don’t cut it anymore.

You need a coat.

My wardrobe is probably too full at the moment, and coats definitely take up their fair share of the room. That’s why I think it’s about time to cut down on them, so I am making a list of which ones I feel best suit the winter conditions.

OVERCOAT

This has only just become a contender for me, as I always struggled to get the right fit. I picked up a navy Mac styled overcoat from ASOS and I couldn’t be happier with it. It is a great coat no matter what the occasion.Worn with a pair of trainers and a hoodie creates an effortlessly casual look, and worn with the right suit, looks exceptional. These wool coats are certain to keep you cosy and classy during the winter months.

PEA COAT

This has been a firm favourite of mine ever since I saw Arctic Monkey’s front man Alex Turner don one. I know he is nowhere near the first person to rock the classic jacket, but he is definitely the one who sparked my interest. The Pea Coat has the ability to look great with any outfit you choose. A black coat paired with black jeans and black Chelsea Boots exudes rock’n’roll, however, also looks perfect paired with a shirt and jumper, or anywhere in between. Like the Overcoat, Pea Coats are typically made of wool, so will still keep you warm while looking cool.

PUFFER JACKET

In my opinion definitely the warmest jacket on the list. The puffer is perfect for those long countryside walks, or cold city centre mornings. I recently picked mine up from Jack Wills, in black. I tend to style it with an all black look as I’m not fond of mixing black jackets with blue jeans (each to their own I suppose). It’s fair to say this jacket has stood up to whatever has been thrown at it, including cold, windy mornings on Scottish beaches.

SHERPA

Although not the bulkiest jacket on the list, the Sherpa is definitely the one to go for if you wish to keep the casual style in full flow. I would typically where a hoodie underneath on those colder days to keep the chill completely out. This jacket will also work perfectly throughout the Autumn and early Spring.
