But it can be hard to find a coat that satisfies our practical needs and our wish to stay in fashion. Because it’s such a key component of any outfit, many spend ages deciding on the right jacket. Here’s how to make deciding on the right coat easier. This winter, architectural styling in women’s coats is back in fashion. This includes trench coats and jackets that play with folding fabric, dramatic tailoring and large collars. If you go for architectural styling, you should be careful when you decide between cape-style and fitted; sculpted tailoring often looks best on women with a professional look, while cape-like coats suit those with a more arty, laidback style.

Having chosen your style of coat, you’ll also need to consider the material and pattern you want. Leather for trench coats is in style this season and can really make an outfit look hot. But bear in mind that it’s pricier than wool, so if you are going for leather you should make sure that it go with your wardrobe and personal style. Wool and satin are popular for military coats, enhancing their striking simplicity. If you’d rather not blend into the background, choosing white or cream will definitely help you to stand out. These colours can be especially breathtaking because they are so bold, and to look good have to be pristine.
