Which coat is right for your life and your style?

Consider where you want to wear your winter coat most often. You probably want something that will work with your daily activities. If you are still working and you need to dress up at an office, you might be better off with a classic tailored wool coat. If instead you spend your day chauffeuring your kids or going to exercise class, a sporty parka would much more likely fit the bill. Or how about a weekend coat. Do you go out to nice restaurants or the theater, a long detailed coat would be the best choice. If outdoor activities are your weekend, something warm and snuggly, like a down coat would be perfect.

Think about how your coat will fit into your wardrobe. Of course, you will be layering your coat over what you wear inside. So go with what you wear, so your styles won’t compete. A little preppy? Then unless you’re going for a particular look, a leather motorcycle jacket probabely would be a no, no, but a lined trench or a toggled wool ¾ jacket would work.

Which coat will be most flattering on your body type?
The right size or tailored to the right size is very important. Shape is another story.

"If you would like your coat to help you feel taller, try a women's coat that hits no lower than an inch above your knee to elongate your leg line.
If you need a little help creating curves, try a belted coat. Belts will cinch in the waist, creating a feminine hourglass shape.
If you're worried about looking top-heavy, consider a single-breasted coat.
If you're worried about looking bottom-heavy, try an A-line coat.
If you have broad shoulders or a large bust, look for a coat with a V-neck."

And that’s about it.
