Woolen coats are an essential part of every woman’s winter wardrobe. They can be styled with a variety of outfits, ranging from your summer t-shirts and floral dresses to early fall sweatshirts and bodysuits.
We’ve already talked about outfits with long coats but in the truly extreme winters, you need something even warmer, which is where woolen coats come in. They’re great for layering up and staying toasty. They are perfect ensembles for your evening hangouts, day weddings, and afternoon brunches.
Since they’re are available in multiple colors and multiple designs, you can grab any basic outfit from your closet and wear it underneath these coats. Trust us, you will slay while being all packed.
Things to Know Before Buying a Wool Coat
- Buy Fitted coats: For everyone who is going to get a coat for the first time, pay special attention to the shoulders and then sleeves. Ill-fitted shoulders or sleeves will ruin your whole outfit.
- Get good-quality coats: Coats are usually expensive but they are a timeless staple. So instead of thinking of saving a few bucks, make sure you invest in good, high-quality ones as they will last for years. Cashmere, lamb wool and merino wool are generally more expensive but they will give a much more luxurious look than a polyester coat which will not just look but also feel uncomfortable because of its stiffness.
- Consider the level of warmth you want: The warmer you want to stay, the heavier should your wool coat be. For the harshest weather, it’s best to go for coats made from the same material as woolen blankets.
- Think of the style you want: If you’re buying your first woolen coat, it can be easy to get lost with so many options. So consider your priorities; do you want one with a hood or one without it? Do you want a single-breasted coat or a double-breasted one? Do you want a coat with or without a collar? All these questions will help you shortlist the best coat for yourself.
- Choose a coat that complements your body shape: While there are no restrictions on what you can and can not wear, certain types of cuts complement certain body shapes best.
