How To Shop For The Perfect Outerwear

So, anyone who knows me, know that I love coats. I would throw on a coat on just anything am wearing. Coats spice up an ensemble and give it that complete feel. They completely transform an outfit. I have quite a number of them and am still adding to my collection. Now that the cold weather has set in, I thought it best to give you some guidelines on what to look out for when shopping for a coat so that you can make a good investment. I have also compiled a couple of my looks on coats from my previous style posts.

1. Comfort: This is the number one rule. Comfort always comes first. Your coat should fit well. Ensure that there is room enough around your arms and shoulders to avoid feeling rigid and restricted when reaching out to greet someone or to stretch.

2. Your Body Shape: Opt for a style that flatters your body shape .Round silhouettes look good in lean straight cut style coats. They should avoid Double  breasts and thick / heavy fabrics like puffas as they make you look heavier. If you have a petite silhouette chose a slim fitting, streamlined coat. A belted will even work better as it will accentuate your tiny waistline.

3. Length: The length of your coat should suit your wardrobe. Mid Calf Length are more popular as they blend well with trousers and skirts.

4. Colors: Purchase a color that will blend well with most of the items in your wardrobe. Its also important that you consider the colors of the season. Make sure that your coats collection consists of both bright and neutral pieces.

5. Taste or Preference: Do you want a classic piece or a stand out piece? Do you want something simple or a piece that is bold? Do you want a winter coat or an all weather coat? Classic coats transit easily from the weekdays to weekends. All weather coats can be worn all year round as opposed to winter coats.

I know that I haven't blogged like forever. Last month was super hectic. But hey, here I am. Back again.
