Winter Fashion: Shop The Coats That Will Make Your Winter Look Oh So Fabulous

Winter brings with it so much merriment, snuggle weather and of course, incredible winter fashion. Summer may have its dresses and wide-brimmed hats but they are nothing when compared to winter's thigh high boots, hats and most famously, coats. Making an appearance only once every year, women's coats for winter are those special fashion pieces that add style appeal while being functional. Walking down a snowy street wouldn't be complete without a coat tightly buttoned in front. On days when it isn't as cold, you can even choose to play around with a cropped top or sheer blouse when you've got the right coat to layer with. Basically, when it comes to winter wear for women, it ain't complete without the right coat.

But shopping for a coat isn't quite as easy as seeing what you like and adding it to your cart. Winter coats come in a wide range of styles which include printed patterns, thickly lined interiors and different lengths. Depending on the occasion you've got planned, what's already there in your wardrobe and your body structure, you can choose a winter coat of your choice accordingly. Right in time for winter's arrival, we've listed out 6 types of winter coats for you to choose for your winter fashion look.

1. Trench Coat

Traditionally, trench coats were known for their functionality as they were designed to keep their wearer dry and protected. Today however they are a celebrity favourite fashion trend. Often in sandy beige and caramel brown tones, they are defined by their buttoned front and tie that secures it around the waist.

2. Pea Coat

On the lookout for a coat that doesn't overwhelm the body? Turn to the pea coat. Originally worn by international service men, the pea coat is buttoned in front, has long sleeves and cropped in its length. It's a great pick for women short in height because it layers beautifully without weighing down the outfit.

3. Double Breasted Jacket

For complete and thorough protection, a double breasted jacket will do it. They feature two columns of buttons that overlap to close, promising more security in front and further, more warmth around the body.

4. Faux Fur Coat

Does it get any more luxurious than wrapping yourself in a faux fur coat during winter? We think not. Fluffy, warm and plush as ever, it makes for a fabulous fashion statement even with the most basic fashion pairings, especially if you've got a night out planned.

5. Cape Coat

What's a winter coat that's not quite a coat? One that's a cape, obviously. These have the fit of a cape which makes them very easy to wear. What sets them apart from other capes is that they also feature buttoned fronts which is where their coats come in.

6. Wool Coat

Those in cold climates complete with hail and snow will know how important is it to pick a coat made of the right fabric. A wool coat is the top choice for such weather as it keeps the body adequately warm and feels comfortable on the skin when worn as well, without being itchy. No matter how low the temperature drops, it won't be any match for your wool coat.
