Hi guys! Thanks for jumping on the blog today. Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great holiday. For those of you asking for some style posts I wanted to kick off the new year with just that! It is freezing here in Minnesota (-9 today, yes you read that right!) and I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about winter coats. Living in Minnesota, we have our fair share of long cold winters. I joke with many of my friends and family that there is a BIG need for different styles of winter coats when you live in this type of climate. Our temperature swings get a bit crazy so we need to be prepared, who agrees?!

With that being said, I wanted to highlight a favorite brand I’m always drawn to when it comes to quality and longevity. J.Crew is a staple brand in my wardrobe for many reasons. As you might guess, it is the classic style that has me coming back time and time again. When it comes to winter coats, I’m looking for simple, classic pieces I can get many years of wear out of and ones that won’t go out of style. I wanted to share three coats that are beautifully simple and can easily take you from casual to dressy with ease. Let’s jump in!

1. Quilted Cocoon Puffer

This is such a great coat for so many reasons. It is probably the most versatile of the three. It can be dressed up or dressed down very easily. I especially like the warmth it offers with the PrimaLoft technology and I also enjoy the snap button details down the front of the coat – it adds that little extra something! This coat runs big, so I sized down. I’m wearing size XS. On sale for $109!

2. Daphne Top Coat

This coat is just beautiful. It is my new favorite take on your standard black dress coat. It looks great for an evening out with heels but also pairs really well with sneakers and leggings! I just got back from a trip to New York City and wore it casually layered with a thick sweater, leggings and sneakers and it was perfect. This is a great date night top coat that is also a good casual option. This coat runs runs true size, I’m wearing size 2. On sale for $139!

3. City Coat

This coat is perfectly simple, it’s the perfect cut and the perfect length. You can’t go wrong with this one. My favorite part of the coat is the chic cut. It looks great with anything. I decided to go with a pop of color that feels approachable to freshen up my wardrobe. I wear a lot of black, gray and white in the winter so this adds a nice touch of color to my outfits. This is also a great dress or work coat and one you can wear with jeans a tee and a pair of booties. This coat runs true to size, I’m wearing a size 2 for a more fitted look. On sale for $119!
