Coats serve two functions: they keep you warm and they make you look good.
Whatever style you choose, if the point is to keep warm, the coat must close tight with buttons. The most wind-proof ladies coats are double breasted extending all the way down the front. A belted waist also helps keep the wind out.
A coat should not only button easily across your chest; it should also fall in a straight line from the lowest button to the bottom hem, a sign that it's well cut and has ample fabric to suit your hips.
Do you wear skirts or dresses a lot? Take into account not only how they will look with the length of the coat you're buying, but also how the proportion and shape of the coat will work with them.
If it's cold enough to wear a coat, then it's also cold enough to need a scarf and winter hat so have fun with them. Put together a matching three piece set. Buy a couple of contrasting hats and scarves so you can mix and match for every mood or outfit. Be creative!
Don't forget the back. Having some shape to a coat is good, but the coat should also move smoothly over any problem areas and have some movement in the back.
Finally, your coat should "sit" well. So button it up and sit down in the dressing room. Do you have two laps? Do the closures pull? They shouldn't.
