To know me is to know my love for outerwear. A great coat can truly transform an outfit! Think about it. In the fall and winter months, when it’s cold outside, you’re always wearing a coat. So why wear boring, sad outerwear when you can make a cute top layer part of your outfit? This is how I like to approach my coat purchases. A great coat is also a great stand-out piece, and can easily be the hero of your outfit. I’ve talked many times about outfit heroes, if you want more info on this topic, try this blog post and this one.
I know that when the temperatures drop, it’s tempting to reach for your trusty North Face puffer. I get it. There are days that just require a warm puffer. But let’s leave the puffers for the super cold days and athletic wear, shall we? However, that being said, you can also upgrade your puffer to something a little more interesting but still warm. You can find my favorite “fashion” puffer here! I still recommend having at least one good wool coat for the winter season that you can use for going to work, church, or special events, and a spring/fall appropriate trench coat for the same.
More to come on this topic, because it’s important for elevating your outfits. As you can see in the pictures here, good outerwear is really the cherry on top of an outfit and can bring a super basic outfit to the next level. It can also boost your confidence to the next level. As we all know, a boost to your outfit can translate to a boost to your confidence!
