5 COATS EVERY WOMAN MUST HAVE

- GERRY CUPIDO

NO WOMAN is going to head into the cold without a warm coat this winter, especially with the temperatur­e plummeting as the days go by.

What are your options when it comes to what to wear, whether you are looking for something to throw over your fabulous outfit, something to keep the cold at bay or a timeless must-have. Here are five…

1THE TRENCH COAT

Come on, girl. If you don’t have a trench coat in your closet yet, then go out and get one, right now. Wear it belted, or open, it’s so versatile. The traditiona­l camel colour is a classic, but feel free to experiment.

2 THE PUFFER COAT

Puffer coats are all the rage right now. Especially in bold colours like yellow, pink and red. Not only is this coat super stylish, it’s also as warm as stepping out wrapped in a down duvet. Look out for those with a hoodie for extra protection.

3 THE FUR COAT

No one does real fur these days honey, because animal cruelty just is not chic. But investing in a gorgeous fauxfur number that has caught your eye, is, absolutely, an alternativ­e. Fur coats are fully lined, which makes them great for keeping out the cold. Don’t be shy to play with fur colour and texture.

4 THE 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 have a hoodie. Look out for one with a fur-lined hoodie for a touch of chic.

5 THE LEATHER BIKER

A leather jacket adds rock chickchic to any outfit. You could be wearing a white Tee, combined with classic blue denim jeans and a pair of Converse, but the minute you slip into that leather jacket, your look acquires street cred and edginess, which transforms your attitude.
