A Few Fit Tips:

The proper fit is crucial when buying your winter coat. When you are shopping for your winter coat pay attention to these tips:
Wear layers, a sweater, or knits to ensure that your jacket will be able to keep you warm AND fit comfortably.
Cross your arms in front of you and give yourself a hug, your coat should feel comfortable across your back.
Button or Zip up the jacket. Move around a bit. Your coat should have room around your chest, hips, and the armholes (if the slightest uncomfort or pull, take a size up). The whole purpose is to protect you from the elements! In love with the coat and it does not fit right? Ask for a size up or have them order it for you in your size- or worst case, find another one.
Your sleeve length is another factor. Sleeves should ideally fall an inch past your wrist. This allows your coat to cover your arms while you are moving!

I wanted to give you a range- from drama to classic luxe, from $50 and higher, and from bold to demure. It is all about options and variety! You can definitely rock out with a fancy coat that provides both form and function! And while you are checking things out, check out my Coats 101 Style Guide!
