There’s a chill in the air and no girl is heading out into the cold without a cover-up of some kind. Whether you’re covering up your fabulous outfit, keeping out the rain or simply needing to keep warm a good coat or jacket is essential clothing item. There are 5 coats/jackets that every woman HAS to have in her closet. You won't regret spending that little bit extra knowing that you'll have that piece in your wardrobe for years to come.
The Puffer jacket
Puffer jackets are all the rage right now. Especially those in bold colours like yellow, pink and red! Not only is this jacket super cool but it does in fact keep you as warm as if you're wrapped in a down duvet. Look out for one’s with a hoodie for extra protection.

A Fur Coat
No one does real fur these days honey, so don’t stress about getting that faux-fur number you’ve had your eye on. Fur coats are fully lined. Which makes them great for keeping out the cold. Don’t be shy to play with crazy colours and texture.

The Trenchcoat
Come on girl. If you don’t have a trenchcoat in your closet yet then go out and get one right now. It's so versatile. You can wear it loose or open. The camel coloured coat is a classic but there’s nothing wrong with trying new things.

A Parka
Usually in shades of olive green or cargo print, this is the perfect coat for weekends out. Parkas are thick and heavy and most often have hoodies. Look out for one with a fur lined hoodie for a touch of chic.
