Mod.s.t Fashions Look of The Week: Coats

I’ve been seeing a lot of weather reports for snowstorms and cold temperatures. Living in the south, I don’t see a lot of snow and it doesn’t get very cold. However, being originally from Michigan, I know how frigid winter temperatures can feel.  So, this week’s look is all about the coat trends of the season.

Runways, streets, and fashion blogs are seeing a variety of coats this season. Here are a few of those styles and some tips on how to work them into your wardrobe.

Blanket Coats

No doubt snuggling in a thick blanket is one of the best ways to stay warm during the winter. I think turning them into coats was a fabulous idea. This season blanket coats seem to be everywhere. You can spot them a mile away as their names are self explanatory.

- Style a blanket coat with a sweater, jeans and boots for a cozy casual look.

- Poncho style blanket coats look great dressed up.

- Native American and other ethnic inspired printed blanket coats can be accessorized with feather earrings, fringe boots and bags, even big wood bangles.

Anorak Coats

Anoraks are parka and sometimes puffy style coats. They usually have a hood that is sometimes lined with fur. If you really want to ensure that you’ll be warm and toasty when braving the winter wind, an Anorak coat would be your best choice. In my opinion, these coats look best when worn casually or even sporty. Try styling them with jeans and boots.

 

Trench Coats

Trench style coats have been around for a very long time. I’m sure they aren’t going to go anywhere anytime soon. They come in an array of colors, lengths and fabrics.

- Style your favorite trench with a wide brim, or fedora hat for a 70′s inspired look

- Fur trench coats are not only warm but chic.

-A leather trench coat is a great investment and will last a long time

- Not into trench coats? Opt for it’s petite cousin the Pea coat.

- A trench coat is not only for dressy attire. It can be worn with flare jeans and your favorite sweater.

The look below features a wool belted trench. It’s styled with wide leg jeans, a chunky knit sweater, suede boots and a suede bag. The look is polished off with coordinating  jewelry and a cozy wool scarf.

I hope these few tips will help you to modestly stay in style when facing the frigid temperatures of winter. Be sure to hop over to Long Distance Loving and check out this week’s Winter Wonderland/Blog Swap Friday’s Fancies.
