During chilly weather, we often resort to our year-after-year standby coats and sweaters, sacrificing style for practicality. Yet being economical doesn't need to mean frumpy and unfashionable. Think buying that buying a trendy coat will cost you a month's paycheck? Think again, because affordably fashionable outerwear is available, you just have to know where to find it!
Trench Coat:
Trench's are the most classic coats for winter. With long, lean silhouettes and clean lines, its no wonder that these coats are adored. With a full skirt, big buttons and pleats, this coat from Delias ($68.00) is feminine and funky.
One of the trendiest looks this year is the cape. Not quite a wrap and not quite a coat, the cape's oversize shape creates a warm and comfy covering. Soft as your favorite blanket, this plaid piece from Urban Outfitters ($78.00) is stylish and sweet! Duster Cardigan:
For those who live in areas unaffected by snow or constant rain, a duster cardigan is a great alternative to the common button up or zip up sweater. Besides the fun crocheting, this Forever 21 sweater ($39.80) coat is not only trendy; it adds warmth and style too!
Swing Coat:
With its great shape, a swing coat is professional and stylish. With bold, tortoise shell buttons and fun pleats, this coat from Nordstrom ($68.00) is a cheery piece for anyone who's feeling the winter blues!
Bomber Jacket:
A bomber jacket is perfect for those who don't fancy knee-grazing outerwear. Cropped yet still temperature appropriate, bombers have an edgy, mod appeal that is both chic and youthful. With a stylish plaid print and functional, detachable hood, this jacket from Old Navy ($78.00) is a must have.
In the winter months ahead, don't be left out in the cold! Stay warm and dry - and fabulous!
