I Want it Now: The Perfect Peacoat



In my neck of the woods, mild fall temperatures don't last for long. Despite the fact that it has been officially fall for only a handful of days, the mercury has dropped to nearly freezing temperature here. I've decided to begin my search for the perfect fall/winter coat early this year and these are a few of the coats that caught my eye this week. I haven't decided whether to go for a classic black peacoat or go for something different such as a bright colour or unique detailing. Any suggestions?

Top Row:
Asos Wool Hooded Duffle Coat, $126.38.
Delia's Jamie Solid Peacoat, $79.50 (on sale!).
Mango Bright Belted Funnel Neck Coat, $160.08(on sale!).

Middle Row:
Mackage Elise Pea Coat, $520.
Topshop Ultimate Peacoat, $170.
Forever 21 Wool-Blend Coat, $37.80.

Bottom Row:
Topshop Military Style Piped Coat, $160.
Karen Miller Biker Moleskin Coat, $379.13.
Topshop Belted Boyfriend Coat, $160.

  1. I say classic black all the way. I have a navy one...I've had it for 10 years and still love it. So glad I picked a neutral color.

  3. Hmmnn... Karen Miller and the Ultimate Peacoat!
    That red trench is also available in black at ON for about a fraction of the price!
