Burberry London Double Breasted Trench

Perhaps it was Tim Gunn

Now’s a good time to shop for a coat: All the stores are having sales and you still have a few months to wear your new coat. Here are some styles to consider.

Cocoon coat: The name derives from the collar which cocoons the wearer, keeping your neck warm and toasty. Pictured is a short puffer jacket, but the cocoon comes in all fabrics and lengths.


Textured Coat. Nubby, tweedy, herringbone: There are a variety of textures to choose from that add depth to the garment. Add a little fur and you

Tweed continues to be in style this winter. This Burberry Tweed Coat from Neiman Marcus will make a fabulous addition to your wardrobe.

The coat features a chestnut/black/white/tan check pattern and a spread collar. The details on the coat are what set it apart from the rest–from the epaulets to the belted cuffs.

With a price tag of $1,495, the Burberry trench may not fit your lifestyle. If you are looking for a more economical option, check out this tweed trench from Kenneth Cole Reaction–just $360 at Bluefly.

This fall expect outerwear to be a little more glamorous. From fur to feathers and everything in between, look for bold, chic styles that make a statement. Look for coats and jackets made with luxurious fabrics with fun trims, collars and other details.

Fur Accents
Fur is big for for fall as evidenced on the runways, in fashion magazines and at stores around the country. Not full length fur coats mind you, but fitted leather coats with fur trim and accents are extremely popular. Consider buying a simple brown, black or gray car coat or trench with a fur collar.

Flashy Feathers
Feathers are another fashion trend. From dresses to hats to coats, you will see feathers in an array of colors emerging. Check out the video below about how to wear (and how not to wear) feathers. As with fur, less is more.

Motorcycle Chic
Choose black and brown leather motorcycle jackets with plenty of zippers and buckles. These type of jackets give a tough edge to all the latest fashions. If you wear a motorcycle jacket with jeans, couple it with feminine shoes and dangling earrings to keep it feminine and sexy.

The jacket pictured is from Case Study and available at fine department stores nationwide.
