In-Between Coats for Fall/Winter

It's the time of year when you can't really reach for a puffy down coat, but your blazer isn't doing the job, either. An in-between coat can keep you warm from October to December, depending on where you live.

Here's what to look for:
1. A classic wool trench or a nubby tweed will look good for years to come.
2. As for color, stick with something neutral or a bright jewel tone, such as red, emerald, or royal blue.
3. A cream colored coat is beautiful; keeping it clean is not.
4. Be sure that the coat is roomy enough to layer a chunky sweater underneath.
5. No matter how cute the coat is, make sure that it has plenty of pocket space for your keys, phone, or freezing cold hands.

The Colour of a Camel

Every season there needs to be that one timeless piece, the piece that brings warmth into your otherwise cold winter wardrobe. This season the camel-coloured coat is back.

Often seen on the backs of Katharine Hepburn and Grace Kelly the camel coat makes a classic chic statement. Because of the richness in the colour it makes you appear quite rich even if you are a fashionista on a budget.

Camel can be worn with any colour, which makes it a staple piece in your wardrobe. Right now we are seeing a lot of bright pink and electric blue so the camel colour is a great way to bring warmth to this seasons bright colours.

While there is probably quite a lot of pieces in a camel colour, I would suggest sticking with camel coats. You can always count on them to be instyle even 20 years from now you will look absolutely fabulous in your camel coat.
