Winter Coats

Nothing cures the winter blues like purchasing a new coat. Whether you are updating, replacing or just need some retail therapy, allow me to guide you through some options for every budget.
If you are a label snob with money burning a hole in your pocket, consider the Salvatore Ferragamo Trim Fit Plaid Wool Topcoat with Leather Trim. This Italian made coat is fashion forward enough to be worn at the trendiest night spots, yet conservative enough to be worn to the office. Available at Nordstrom for a cool $2,650.

 If you want to look tough yet elegant, check out the Narvey Lambskin Leather Jacket by Hugo Boss.​ The updated biker jacket features quilting throughout for a modern feel and the standup collar would certainly impress Fonzi. Available at hugoboss.com for $1,495.

Simply cannot justify spending one month’s rent on a new jacket? Don't worry, there are alternatives. Case in point. Joseph Abboud offers a Sable Peak Lapel Modern fit Topcoat. The peak lapels adds to the overall mod aesthetic and in a very trendy vicuña, this coat encapsulates a contemporary feel. Available at the Men’s Wearhouse for $499.

 Military inspired coats have become a staple in men’s wear and the chances from fading from the limelight are slim to none. This season Ralph Lauren offers up a Double Breasted Peacoat with silver buttons at the shoulder and on the front. Available in military olive or black, this wool blended coat will serve several seasons. Available at Macy's for $495.
