How To: Coats Of The Season

It's around this time of the year when most women are starting to go on the hunt for the perfect piece of outerwear.

Every season new trends come along, new options appear in the stores, new styles seem more and more appealing, but when it comes to buying a new coat, it's an investment you shouldn't take lightly. A t-shirt or a mini skirt you might give away next season, but a 300$ coat is something that will stick with you for months and months to come.

Now, a coat doesn't have to be that expensive per se, you can still go out and give a fun, trendy outerwear piece a try that doesn't cost much, just to satisfy your trend hunger (I get it girls, we all succumb to that one from time to time). But make sure that what you're buying is still well crafted and fits you properly. I just can't stand poorly sewn, ill-fitting coat. Your outerwear is what most people see during fall and winter, so choose wisely.




On the runway I spotted quite a few tendencies on the designers' part: lots of clean cut lines, egg-shaped numbers, capes, plenty of plaid, uncoventional colors and wrapping as well. Designers are definitely pushing the boundaries quite far, making the coat a center piece and not just a cover-up.

Below you will find a series of Polyvore sets featuring some of the best, on-trend and affordable coats that will make for good pieces in your wardrobe. I will also provide you with ideas on how to style them. Keep in mind that those styling options are simple suggestions, there are endless combos one can come up with really so do not rely on those solely.
