Ten tips for looking stylish
all winter long.
The Right Coat
Think of a winter coat as a good
investment: If you buy one that fits you well, you can wear it
for seasons to come. Here, crucial secrets for buying the best
coat for you:
1. Think fabric. A synthetic fabric will look great for
one or two winters, but won't hold its shape any longer than
that. Instead, try a wool or cashmere blend coat, both of which
have staying power.
2. Forget boxy cuts. Longer coats without a curve to their
waists look frumpy. Instead, look for a coat with a shaped waist,
which flatters all figures.
3. Wear a classic. A lined, belted trench coat can work
through fall and early winter. Bonus: It's instantly and eternally
chic.
4. Try on right. To be sure you get the proper fit, try
on your coat wearing what you'll wear under it every day, such
as a suit jacket or a chunky sweater.
5. Consider length. A coat that falls from mid-thigh to
the knees is the most versatile, and works over pants, jeans,
and skirts.
