I don't want to be 'that girl' but I have to bring the issue up... it's almost time for winter. Sure, cold weather isn't our favourite and salt stains, scratchy wool and static hair issues are a fashionista's nightmare but winter also has tons of good stuff about it! Think of holidays, snow and hot chocolate! As for the rest of winter, we've got you covered with ten gorgeous but practical winter coats that are sure to keep you looking your cutest! 

Trends and What to Look for in a Winter Jacket: 
 
Be sure to keep your eyes open for brights and patterns- something that shows off your personality and acts as a statement for the dreary months ahead. 

Military inspired coats have been trendy for a while now, look for buckles, buttons details that give structure to a bulky coat. 

Ponchos, capes and caplet shapes are huge for fall/winter this year- I love how comfy these coats are! 

Leathers are always in- for a fresh take, try leather accents or shearling. 

If you aren't into the latest styles, but like to look put together and chic be sure to try a winter jacket that cinched in your waist- this defines your shape and will make sure you avoid looking too boxy. 


1. Talk about bold! This Joe Fresh Neoprene Coat (C$99.00) is not for the faint of heart but makes a great statement! 

2. A personal fave, this H&M Imitation Suede Coat ($99.00) is a good length, with military inspired buckles and a high collar.

4. This Jones New York Classic Wrap Coat (C$199.00) is a basic camel colour but the clean streamlined cut is anything but boring.
