STATEMENT WINTER COATS

I can’t say I’m in love with the winter months; I can say I never met a style opportunity I didn’t LOVE!!! As old man winter makes way for spring I wanted to do a little recap of my favorites for the season, some old, some new. I’m a born and bred Northeasterner but I still DO NOT LOVE the cold. The upside to the colder months is that they give us a chance to layer up, mix and match, and add all kinds of cozy accessories to our closets. I’m talking fun coats, chunky sweaters, and killer boots. You’re getting all of that in this post, but the stars of the show are the coats/furs (faux and real, don’t ya’ll call PETA on me, my mink is hand me down).

STATEMENT WINTER COATS

The Statement Coat

This faux-fur coat (middle pic if it wasn’t clear) is from Nasty Gal. I get non-stop compliments whenever I wear this coat. I purchased it in March of 2023 for my trip to Lisbon. Also, I received non-stop compliments here and there. Don’t let the name of the website dissuade you, it’s a total bait and switch in the best way possible. The website is a gold mine, you just have to know what you’re looking for. Sadly, my coat is no longer available but there are plenty of other great options on the site, and some yummy alternatives here, here, here, and here.

Statement Sweater

Another essential winter wardrobe staple are sweaters, especially statement sweaters. I love layering sweaters, cardigans and turtlenecks, light-weight tops with big chunky sweaters, it sends me to the moon and back. I absolutely love styling a statement sweater, pairing it with something unexpected or expected brings untold joy. Nobody does a statement sweater like Farm Rio. They are my go-to for bright, fun, bold pieces. Needless to say, this leopard print cardigan spoke to my soul in a major way.

Pro-tip, now is the time to shop coats, sweaters, all things knitwear. It’s the end of the season, sales are hot and heavy!!!
