My birthday is in just a couple days and my sister reminded me that the third week of January is historically the coldest week in the year. Yay for me… This does remind me though that right now winter coats are starting to go on sale and if you haven’t invested in a great one, now’s the time!
About two years ago, I finally invested in two really great classic coats. A down one (which you’ve seen styled here) and also this chateau parka for a classic neutral piece. Once I bought these two coats I felt like I was prepared for just about anything. They’ve survived two winters in Atlanta, which may not say much, but they’ve also come with me to NYC for that epic winter storm Juno, Christmas and NYFW. If you ask me, that’s the true test of a warm coat and I didn’t freeze!
Now that my basics are covered, puffer for more casual, chateau parka for more dressy it’s time to have a little fun. So from here on out, it’s just buying less expensive more fashionable pieces to help freshen up my coat collection.

A blush coat has quickly become a must-have for me personally in my closet. This oversized fuzzy one is a fun statement that will surprisingly go with quite a bit in your closet.

A classic for any closet is a double-breasted wool coat. This will last you year over year so be sure to buy one in a great neutral color like this pretty cream.

Leopard print is always a fun print to rock in the winter time. I love this navy blue version from Banana Republic.

6. LOFT Cropped Peacoat
We all know a classic peacoat is a must for your closet in the winter time. But a cropped one is a modern take on the classic. This one from LOFT has a military feel to it that is super on trend right now.

8. LOFT Aviator Sherpa Jacket
This jacket gives me all the feels. It’s so killer and super cool that you’ll be turning heads left and right in it. The sherpa lining is sure to keep you toasty and warm too.

9. Cole Haan Anorak
Anoraks are a fall and winter essential. For us in the south, we can get away with a good anorak and sweater to keep warm. I love this classic jacket in this olive color, great with just about everything in your closet.
