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.

3 The Parka

Inspired by those worn in polar regions, this is a heavier version of the classic anorak. The hooded coats — most typically in shades of olive or army green — are the perfect casual cover-up for weekends out and about.Depending where you live this maybe a real necessity.With a great pair of boots and jeans your set .

This may be one of your biggest investments as far as coats go ! A great Camel coat will see you through season's and season's and is never out of style.
