Once that climate changes searching for a winter coat isn't a leisurely thing but a duty. Avoid buying coats that can only be worn one winter season, seek one that can be worn in the succeeding years. First, winter coats aren't the cheapest things on the market, look for one that is affordable but is of good quality. A coat which is of high quality should last you many years and buying it must be considered an investment decision for warmth rather than an expense.
No one said that to keep warm you have to go for the ugliest! A high-quality wool or cashmere, even wool blends or good synthetics will ensure that you do keep you warm and see itself through the tortures of moving with you every day. Make sure that the seams are sewn well, doubled if possible, and everything is square. These coats are thick enough they should not be sloppily put together. Good workmanship can also be seen within the finishing of the garment. Are loose threads exposed and left alone? How tightly are the buttons sewn? Are the zips of a good quality? What about the lining; is it as well-constructed as the rest of the coat? When you are trying it on, just be sure you are using your usual winter outfit. Some coats are cut small and you may not be able to fit inside your jacket under your coat if you only go by size. A tight coat isn't what you want for it would not only be uncomfortable and difficult to move around in, but you would look funny looking sort of a scarecrow using it.
Is the length of the coat for your height or is it too long or short? If you've got an imperfect body, don't call attention to it with a wrong style coat either.Tip: in case you have wide hips select flaring hems in a coat for it flatters that sort of figure. If you are well endowed look to a wrap instead for this may show off your waist better. Don't be scared to try on different coats until you will find one that looks perfect on you! For the girls, it isn't so difficult, just look for one which is attractive and fits well! But before buying, show it to them first and ask their opinion on the color and style. After all, it is not cheap either and you do not need to waste your money.
