Look for furry details around the collar, cuffs and even the pockets. Try a beautiful, bright plaid if you can't decide on just one color - plaid is perfect for winter and looks great on most anyone. Another pattern that's trendy is houndstooth - made popular by Lady Gaga's entirely houndstooth ensemble! If you live in a climate that doesn't get too cold, then a cape coat is a great option. With 3/4 sleeves and a swingy profile, it's perfectly on trend and won't let you overheat on those not-too-bitter winter days. Cape coats are a pretty option over evening wear and look great going to the office, too. Regardless of the choice you make, fit is key when it comes to a winter coat. Check to be sure the coat fits in the shoulders but isn't too confining. A tapered coat that defines the waist is a chic way to show off an hourglass figure, and the same goes for belted styles. Don't wait to take off your coat to show your fashion style.
