Winter Outerwear To Keep You Looking and Feeling Hot

Leave a comment

As much as I don’t think so, it’s still winter. For some reason as soon as January hits I want to buy all of the spring and summer pieces. BUT, I live up north for most of the year, so shorts are out of the question until May. Whether you live in the freezing cold or not, coats are a necessity during the early months of the year. Dress these up, dress these down, here are some of the coats and jackets you still need this winter & spring season.

Aritzia Super Puff

This is the ultimate puffer. Aritzia’s infamous Super Puff coat comes in many color, lengths, and is made for men and women. I have the Super Puff Midi Coat in red to spice up my very bland wardrobe and I could not love it more.

Stand Studio Aubrey Coat

I don’t own this jacket, but it is my ultimate dream coat. With shearling making a huge comeback right now, this has just a peak of the material around the stitching of the coat. P.S., this won’t be the last Stand Studio coat you see in this post.

Boys Lie The Inside Out Jacket

This fall and leading into this year the “shacket” look has bee all over Instagram. This shirt jacket combination is perfect if you live in a warmer climate and don’t need a down coat to keep you warm. This Boys Lie take on the shacket doubles as chic and comfortable – what more could you want?

Tularosa Lundun Vegan Suede Jacket

Last year we saw plenty of western flair in cowboy boots, and I will never stop wearing them. But, now western-like style is being shown through clothing items like this fringe jacket. Fringe will be seen all over bags and other clothing items this year, so get ahead of the trend with this jacket from Revolve.

The Frankie Shop Down Belted Overcoat

If you’re looking for anything oversized, The Frankie Shop is it. I am swooning over this puffer overcoat. The detachable belt allows you to cinch the waist, or remove it to maintain the oversized “Hailey Bieber” look you are going for.

Lioness Staten Island Jacket

Another warm(er) weather jacket. I love the look of an oversized leather jacket, and love the one of a cropped one even more. This very on trend brown jacket would be perfect to style with any pants, shorts, skirt, you name it. This is definitely on my shopping list and I may have to style this one too.

Stand Studio Cleo Coat

See, told you there would be more Stand Studio. This is such a unique coat and I am always so drawn to it. If you are someone who wears only neutral colors, jackets like this are the perfect thing to add life to your wardrobe.

Nike Faux Fur Oversized Swoosh Jacket

I have been chasing this jacket since the moment I saw it on Instagram at the beginning of the season, but it has sold out. Everywhere. And now it is finally back in stock at ASOS. So RUN, don’t walk to purchase this before it sells out again. This is the perfect jacket to wear with a matching workout set – almost even better than jeans and a sweater.

& Other Stories Boxy Coat

This is a classic long work coat. The oversized fit allows you too pair it with bulky sweaters and sweatshirts with ease, or again just wear this as an oversized look. The grey goes with black or brown accessories so it is the perfect happy medium.

Cotton Citizen Brooklyn Oversized Hoodie

I couldn’t even count the amount of times I have reached for a zip up hoodie this break and don’t have one to grab. This dyed zip up from Cotton Citizen is perfect for any casual outfit for days you don’t want to do anything, but still look put together. This comes in multiple colors, but I personally love this combination of warm and cool colors.
