It’s that time of the season again! Pea coats are always a casual yet impressive way to show off your style around campus. Pea coats look great for an interview or business meeting. Whether you prefer hooded, patterned, long or short pea coats, there’s always a style that will fit your needs. Xpress, American Eagle and Macys have great pea coats to rock this winter.

Kaitlin Provost graduated from SUNY Oswego, majoring in journalism with a learning agreement in photography. She grew up in five different towns all over the Northeast, eventually settling and graduating from high school in Hudson, Massachusetts. Kait now lives in the blustery town of Oswego, New York, where she can frequently be found running around like a madwoman, avoiding snow drifts taller than her head (which, incidentally, is not very tall). She has worked for her campus newspaper, The Oswegonian, as the Assistant News Editor, and is also the President of the Oswego chapter of Ed2010, a national organization which helps students break into the magazine industry. She hopes to one day work for National Geographic and travel the world.
