TOP 5 COATS FOR FALL AND WINTER

I think winter is officially here (in Toronto, anyway… we’re expecting snowfall this weekend?!) so it’s time to bring out the coats. Aritzia makes some of the best coats around (I’ve been buying them for years and have quite the collection now) and so I wanted to do a round up of my top 5 coats for fall and winter. I’m also giving away a $250 gift card to Aritiza – enter here!

1. THE SUPER PUFF

This coat is so comfy and so warm.

Worn with:
Colour block sweater
Black joggers
Nike Blazer sneakers

2. THE TEDDY COAT

This coat is so 70’s – my favourite fashion decade.

Worn with:
Grey sweater
AGolde jeans
Burgundy booties

3. THE CLASSIC WOOL COAT

This coat never goes out of style – get a good quality one and wear it for years.

Worn with:
Black jumpsuit
White mules
Another great classic wool coat option is the Stedman Coat.

4. THE PLAID COAT

A new favourite of mine – this coat is trendy but will last for seasons with a subtle plaid.

Worn with:
Floral maxi dress
Lace up booties

5. THE LEATHER JACKET

This jacket never goes out of style (and gets better with age). It’s also surprisingly warm when layered up.

Worn with:
Blue printed top
Beige wool pants
White mules

Thanks for my Aritzia fam for sponsoring this post!

    How do you find the size of the Karl Jumpsuit? True to size? Size up? (Also, are you tall? Sometimes I find that unless I’m model-height, I drown in them!)

      I got a 0 and found it great – I’m 5’5 so not model height at all haha. I do tend to hem my pants as well since they’re normally a bit long. Didn’t hem these though!

    Everything looks absolutely stunning on you! Can I ask what size you are in the jump suit and the floral maxi dress? Ordering from the U.S. and hoping to nail my size the first time;).

      Of course! I got a size 0 in both – I would say the dress fits smaller than the jumpsuit. I hope that’s helpful!
