Over the past year or two, my jacket and coat collection has evolved from three (yes, three) to something more resembling twelve. Before you think that it sounds excessive, I promise they all serve a really great and essential purpose, especially here in Chicago, and I’m very picky about making sure I never buy anything too similar to what I already own!
I finally feel like I’ve got most of the basics covered – a peacoat, a trench coat, a parka, my military jacket, a rain jacket, a couple suede moto or drape jackets, my perfect leather jacket, and a go-to casual quilted one. (PS – my quilted jacket is on MAJOR sale right now, just in time for chillier weather!)
You can shop all of the current favorites in my closet below:
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

With these in my arsenal I’ve been covered for pretty much every single scenario I’ve encountered…but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t starting to eyeball some other coats that are similar for more fashionable purposes. I realized almost every single thing I’ve added on Pinterest lately has been including a gorgeous coat of some kind – so I’ve started shopping around again!
I think the best place to find great coats without breaking the bank is Nordstrom Rack. I have friends that get great finds at T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s too – I just haven’t been as lucky yet!
Here’s what I’ve been loving lately for my shopping list (or Christmas list! Hint, hint, family and friends!)
One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven
I’ve been absolutely loving the longer length and midi-length coats this season, and I’m so glad they’ve become more and more trendy! This sweater-coat is by far #1 on my wish list this winter, but I’ve also had my eye on this gorgeous olive green coat with gold buttons for a while.
I have a different version of the J.Crew cocoon coat in red (number eleven!) and I absolutely love this one even more. I always see it around the city in varying colors, and I think the light purple and grey are my absolute favorites. It’s beyond flattering on absolutely everyone I see wearing it, and definitely a great essential coat!
