Winter is here, bring on the coats!

Life in Southern California is usually very, very warm. The sun is shining most of the year which many people adore. Don’t get me wrong it is lovely, but as the holidays approach I can’t help but miss the cold weather. Our 90 degree November days have come to an end, and we were lucky enough to get some rain. Finally winter is here! For some people that means staying in doors next to a warm fire, but for others it means its time for a good coat.

There are a ton of ways to style cool weather outfits. One important thing to remember is to make sure you’re dressed for the right weather! If its raining you might need a hood, or something water repellent. It may be snowing where you live, and a blazer just wont cut it. These are some of my go to coats for winter:

A good coat is definitely a winter essential. There are plenty of coats available that are stylish and still warm. A trench coat can be layered on top of thicker sweaters, or it can be layered over a simple tee. This is the Editor Check Trench Coat from Topshop. It sells for $160 on the Nordstrom website. It can be stressed up with a skirt and over the knee boots, or it can be worn with jeans and a pair of sneakers.

All three of these coats can be found at Nordstroms. They are perfect for layering, and they work for different weather and different styles. The denim jacket could be worn casually over jeans or leggings, and paired with basically any shoe. This Levi’s Ex Boyfriend Sherpa Lined Trucker Jacket is warmer than regular denim jackets. Sherpa is very warm and cozy, so it makes for the perfect winter jacket. The next jacket is made entirely of sherpa so it is great for really cold weather. A leather jacket is a staple in anyones closet because you can throw it on over a casual outfit and instantly look like it took hours to put together. Throw it over a dress and some tights for a cute night out look.

There are so many options for coats. Its easy to find one that fits your needs and your styles these days. Keep in mind that you can always layer! Try the coats with different accessories, like a beanie or felt hat. Dress up the outfits with heels or dress them down with sneakers, whatever fits your style.
