It’s a great time to be alive if you like coats. Options are endless out there these days. I remember when basically everyone I knew (including me) either wore a basic black peacoat or a garish puffer coat. That was it, the extent of the options. Now, I come across a new beautiful coat every single day that makes me stop in my online tracks.
Thanks to my coat obsession, I have three great winter coats to share with you all today, but I’m caveating them as winter coats for Californians because I know that my east coast friends will laugh me out of the building if they see some of these. They won’t keep you warm during a Nor’easter, but they sure are cute. Besides, even our friends on the East coast need lighter coats in April. These coats are highly affordable and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hate it when I click through on a cute coat to find out it is $475. That’s far, far beyond my coat budget. I prefer to pay max $75 for a coat and that is even stretching it except for one small lapse in judgement which you’ll read about later.
First up, we have the surprise stunner of the day from, get this….. OLD NAVY. No shade to Old Navy, but I can’t remember the last time I found something I liked this much there. I put this coat on in the store and made Keith buy it for me because I had forgotten my wallet at home. It reminds me of something Grey Layers would wear, which basically means that it’s chic AF. The zipper is awesome and helps the coat feel more elevated than your typical tan trench. It has a nice thickness to it and I love the way it looks with an all-black ensemble and red lip. I’m really digging the oversize vibe to it. This coat is $69.99 online and is 20% off right now, but it’s extremely limited in sizes so walk, don’t run if you want it. I bought it in store for 50% a few weeks ago, but it’s taken me some time to work up the courage to take the photos for this post.
The next coat we have here is a simple, pretty little Asos Curve coat that I got on sale for $39. They still have it in a few sizes, so if you like it you better click on over to Asos and nab it. When I see this coat, I think pure class. It’s cute, it’s professional, it’s lightweight. I like it, especially for $39.
My final coat that I suspect is going to be polarizing is this AMAZING Sherpa beast. Please click through to see it in all its glory because my highly embarassing model photos do it no justice. I love this coat so, so damn much. It’s actually pretty heavy, delightfully oversized, soft as hell inside and the color is my absolute favorite. Keith put it on because he loved it too and I swear it looked like he was about to sing in the choir at the Yeezy Sunday Service and I mean that in the absolute best way possible. This coat is what my winter dreams are made of. I wore it to my first day at the new job and I decided that I’m not going to allow myself to wear it on my commute home in the evenings because I was so warm and cocooned in it that I wanted to fall asleep. When I went to grab the link to this post, I was shocked that I paid $131 for it, but I think I had a good Cyber Monday coupon code or maybe I was just swept up in the beauty of this coat and money was no option for me. As you know, codes with Asos are a bit harder to come by than other online retailers, but sometimes you can find them. If not, I would seriously recommend buying this coat if you’re into the whole Yeezy look as much as I am.
Do you have any coat hidden gems that you want to share? Please do as I am always all-ears for good coats (as you can see!)
