Puff love

Winter’s best style news: puffer coats are officially cool. Since the functional piece of outerwear appeared on numerous high fashion runways, brands at all levels have turned out great pieces.

Colour Your World

A candy-coloured coat in a fuss-free shape is a great way to stave off winter blues.

Classic Cuts

Whatever is going on underneath (day dress, yoga pants, pajamas) a classic coat will make you look instantly polished. From peacoat styles to masculine overcoats, anything crafted around clean lines in a neutral tone works. Shapes range from streamlined to slouchy, but a fit that hugs shoulders cannot be compromised. Refined details reign supreme, whether in the form of a generous collar or eye-catching hardware.
