there are two options to choose from when picking your new autumn coat:

Trend 1- this is the more feminine and softer approach to autumn outerwear. Coats are crafted of soft, fuzzy textures like fur, wool and even leather, in neutral girlish hues- think baby pink, camel, cream, beige and hints of grey. This is the more prim and polished look that oozes with femininity and ladylikeness.

No matter which trend you choose to follow this autumn one thing remains the same throughout when it comes to outerwear. Whether feminine or, both trends consist of coats made of fuzzy, tactile fabrics with oversized, billowy structures. 

 

Remember, when purchasing your new autumn coat it's ok to spend a little more than you would for another item of clothing, as you will probably be wearing this quite a lot. Also, to make this a good investment choose something you really like and make sure it coordinates well with most of your autumn clothes. Try and choose a coat that not only looks good but feels comfortable and is practical.

p.s. what do you prefer, the classic printed, striped, checked and wool coat trend or the girly, sleek, fuss-free option?
