I don´t know about you but I dread winter. I think the only excuse I could use to convince myself that winter isn´t excruciating is the chance to wear nice coats and tall boots in this season. Now that it´s getting really cold over here even if it´s still the beginning of fall, I´ve been inspired to plan for some winter outfits with some fabulous winter coats. A swing coat, a military coat, and a black trench coat are the first on my list.
Swing Coat Outfit for Winter
What I love about a swing coat is it´s dressy. Whether it´s worn with skinny tights or with a dress, a swing coat gives that sexy silhouette. For this winter, I´m particularly crushing on a plaid swing coat. I found one from Larry Levine collection and it´s currently on sale, 31% off. According to customer reviews, this coat is as cute in real as in the photo and it fits really nice.
Because the checks of this plaid swing coat is of neutral, dark shades, I´d like to play it up with other dark neutral pieces. Teaming it with black skinny jeans, black ankle wedged boots and classy satchel gives you a stylish and edgy winter look.

Military Coat Outfit for Winter
Coat, Sweater Dress, Boot, Bag
Military trend is hot for fall and winter 2012 so I really suggest you get a military coat that you can wear on cold days. This Corduroy Military Coat from Mango has a sleek design. It looks clean and smart and not over the top. You can either wear it with jeans or sweater dress with leggings. Finish up with a matching riding boot for a look that beats winter.

Black Trench Coat Outfit for Winter
Coat, Jeans, Bag, Ankle Boot, Leg Warmer
Who said you can´t wear bright colors in winter much more do colorblocking? Because a black trench is very versatile and can be worn with anything, it´s wise to invest in a really great black trench coat. This belted trench coat is from Tommy Hilfiger winter collection and all the girls just love it. In fact, this trench coat is one of the best-selling coats in amazon. According to reviews, this coat is very well made, fits nicely to the body and is dressy.
To wear it this winter, create a color block look. Add your favorite colored jeans and colorblock the jeans with a bright bag. Opt for a pair of nice ankle boots and wear over (or under) them a complimentary pair of leg warmers. This outfit guarantees that you´ll never fade in the background even if the sky is gray.
