The Need: Winter Coat
Every year, I try with all of my might to will off winter. It has not yet worked, but I will never stop trying. I laugh because I have SO many winter coats yet EVERY year, without fail, I need a new one. I detest the cold but I refuse to let it hold me back. So every year I need a new fashionable coat to equip me through the winter months. This year, I scoured the market for my coat purchase. Make sure to check out my top picks!
Bringing us her top picks for the best and most fashionable winter coats:

Mare’s Picks:
Ultimate in Versatility and Great for Travel– Sosken- GRAY Double-Breasted Plaid Coat
Per Mariana: It’s such a lightweight wool coat that is an amazing travel piece. Color-wise, it combines with so many things and it’s the perfect length; it doesn’t feel too heavy or fussy. It’s an easy coat that is so elegant but can be worn with jeans and sneaks too.
Practical, Affordable, and On-Trend- Free People- Weekender Puffer
Per Mariana: I love this jacket from Free People because it’s an amazing value for a practical piece that is a really great cut. I am more partial to the spice color. It’s a great introduction of color in a wardrobe that, for most people, is very dark in the winter months.
Showstopper– Dorothee Schumacher- Touch of Colour Coat Sleeve 1/1
Per Mariana: This is from fall 2018 and it was an unbelievable piece. It is a great novelty addition as an outerwear option. Another lightweight duster, you could still wear a heavier sweater or layer it on top of a blazer and still be comfortable. The light fabric and cut allow for this coat to have some beautiful movement when it’s on.
Worth-It Investment Piece– G-Lab- Sakura
Per Mariana: This is probably the most practical of everything. Although a hefty price point, the G lab coats are impeccably made. They are completely waterproof. Most raincoats are water resistant but each coat is individually coated. They are also very breathable. I love this pod shape that is so flatter.
