Imagine the harsh winter in Philadelphia last year multiplied; that is the prediction for this winter’s
weather. It’s going to be a cold one, and your winter wear will need to be on point to endure this chilly season ahead! If you think you have to compromise style for utility with your winter wear, you’re wrong. We’ve found several pieces that are warm, and fashionable for you to rock throughout the cold temperatures ahead.

For the Ladies

Always think about emphasizing your features, even under layers and layers of clothes. The best way to do this with heavy-duty outerwear is by picking pieces that are designed with shape to avoid giving you a boxy fit. Choose coats that have a tie around the waist to cinch and flatter your shape, or one that has strategic stitching to form to a woman’s body. In terms of material and color, there are hundreds of options! Don’t be afraid to pick something out of your norm, like a jewel tone color or a shiny finish to the fabric.

For the Guys

There are a variety of ways to pick a stylish coat, and the first is to imagine how you will be using it. If you are wearing it to work, choose a more formal pea coat or a nice wool jacket with a flattering collar. For an all-purpose coat, pick one that not only is warm, but also has a bit of extra accessory, like a fur-trimmed hood or toggles.

Don’t feel discouraged when trying to find practical and fashionable coats for this season. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite coats that are available at stores in the area. Be sure to bundle up with your trendy winter coat, and get ready for the weather ahead!
