Practical and Fashionable Coats

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lehigh chapter.

Winter weather got you down? Beat the January fashion blues with our suggestions for fun winter coats. Who says you can’t be practical and fashionable?

 
1) Show some shape- Try to find a jacket that is either belted or has a drawstring around the waste area. Often jackets have alternating patterns throughout the coat as well that are used in place of belts and draw strings. This will give your body some shape underneath all the puff.

2)Look for some fur- Hoods with fur are a cute way to spice up a jacket.

               

 
3) Find the perfect length- Depending on your height try to find a jacket that hits a couple inches above your knees.  This way the coat is not overpowering. This is a great way to keep the majority of your body warm and make yourself look taller.
 

  

 
4)Buy now- As February quickly approaches most of the winter clothing is hitting the sale racks!!!
