We all know that the cooler weather brings a variety of fabulous cover-ups, so it’s no surprise that you’re guaranteed to see the latest coat styles in most stores.
Here are 5 coat styles that are taking over in winter 2017:
1. The waterproof trench coat
This saves lives in winter! There is no question that you’ll be in need of a waterproof option when it’s raining buckets outside. Opt for a classic black, neutral or navy one that will go with anything and everything.
