Look H-O-T in the Cold

Okay, I know it may be depressing, but it's a fact - Winter is coming. The good news is, there are tons of options this year for stylish winter coats. So, what are the hottest trends? Here, my top 3 faves...

 

Anything in a "look at me" colour. Not only will you stand out among the crowds of grey and black, but a fun colour will make the dark days of winter seem just a little bit brighter.

 

The look of fur is very popular this year. My preference is for faux, but I am not here to judge. Get in on the trend by wearing the look all over or with details around the collar and/or cuffs.

Capes and ponchos are super cute and very popular (and one of my faves) for Fall 2011. Go for one in another hot trend of the season like the Southwestern trend (on the left), or a Fall 2011 colour (like purple, mustard, or teal). Just note though that if you are petite, make sure yours hits you no lower than your hip line or else it may look sloppy.
