Bundle up, buttercup, old man Winter is here! One thing’s for certain when you live in the Midwest- Winter’s will be cold and long, and often filled with plenty of snow. I was born and raised in Indiana, so after 30+ years of this, I’m used to the seasons and what to expect, so come December, I know it’s time to bust out the layers in all their glory! Today I wanted to share the Winter coats I’m wearing on repeat this year. From casual runs to the mailbox to dressier options perfect for the office or any events you may have [c’mon 2021, bring back the events! We miss you!].
Faux leather faux life – or at least that’s the motto I’m going with for this coat! This one was a newbie to my closet this year and was an instant favorite of mine [and by all of you!] as soon as I put it on. The right amount of “puff,” the matte finish, the super warmth, it’s got it all! And I’m finding myself leaning towards camel colors over and over this year, so this coat is fitting right in!
Puffers not your style? I got you, girlfriend. I’m officially going to consider this the G.O.A.T coat [greatest of all time, in case you’re wondering]. I’ve had this coat for several years [in several colors], and this year added the new herringbone style to my collection, and I tell you, it does not disappoint. It’s a classic coat that doesn’t go out of style and is great for any occasion. The office, the grocery store, your hair appointment – you’re going there? This coat’s coming too. There’s no doubt you’ll get your money’s worth with this one, since it’ll last for season after season!
A closet staple – the classic, affordable, puffer coat. I’ve had this for over a year, and have been so impressed with the comfort, quality, and warmth! Perfect for running errands or exploring outside! Snowball fights are just waiting to happen in this one. Don’t let the white scare you – it’s machine washable! Oh, and did I mention this one comes in 10 color options? Decisions, decisions.
Hypothetically, let’s say you have an event to go or a dinner out with hubby, this.is.your.coat! Not only is this coat cute, but it is SO soft and warm! So warm, in fact, that this just might become my mailbox walking coat! I love the feminine look that the faux fur has, which helps to balance out my joggers and sweatshirt look as of late 😉
