I love winter and the opportunity to layer up, wear beautiful jackets and coats, and snuggle up in gloves and beanies. I LOVE a beanie!

A jacket or coat is not something to be taken lightly, when purchasing this item it should be properly considered, things to take into account.  Does the cut suit your figure, the colour your skin tone, does it work for your wardrobe and lifestyle.  Do you need to wear formal coats for work or are you a stay at home mom and need something more relaxed and casual.  Most of us will have a few options in the wardrobe for various occasions.

My picks for jackets and coats this winter are below.  Remembering here in the Southern Hemisphere our climate is mostly very mild.  The opportunity to actually wear thick socks, boots, and beanies are few and far between.  So I bare this in mind when selecting my pieces.

The double breasted jacket

This chic item is so versatile. It can be used in varying climates and worn over anything from tailored pants and jeans to silk dresses and skirts.  Layer this style over a fitted polo neck jumper to warm up or for milder weather over a t-shirt and jeans.

Ways to wear it

 

There’s no better way to create a cinched waist and a feminine look than with a belted jacket.  Whether you do this with a military style jacket, blazer or coat, there are many options and you don’t need to buy one with a belt, you can simply add your own to get the look.
