Hello Everyone,

Hope your all having a fantastic week.

Today I’m going to talk about my top 5 winter coats. It’s definitely the time of year where a good coat is needed and the perfect time to purchase one as there are some great ones on sale at the moment.

Zara and H&M are my go to stores for all my coats. They have excellent quality at an affordable price. There are some great deals on at the moment on more high end brands, especially in Brown Thomas – who doesn’t love a beautiful Ted Baker coat for half price. I definitely won’t say no to that.

Number 1 – Camel Coat

My first coat and I think one of my favorites is a camel coat. I adore a good camel coat. It looks so sophisticated and can really dress up any outfit. I purchased mine from Zara about 5 years ago and it’s still one of my most used coats.

Zara is a great shop for a good camel coat. They do the classic styles which will last forever. They have some fab styles in at the moment. I’ve added a few below which are all on sale at the moment 😀.

Number 2 – Teddy Coat

I definitely think the Teddy coat has been the coat of the season this year. Oversized and incredibly cosy – what more could you want in a coat?? I love nothing more than being nice and cosy in mine while going for a shopping trip to town on a cold day.

Again these coats are so versatile – they can be worn with jeans and runners or with a nice dress and heels.

I purchased mine in Penny’s (Primark). They have some great ones at a really affordable price. For a style of coat that may only be around for one season I suggest not spending a huge amount on it. There are some great options out there at the moment at really affordable prices.

Number 3 – Wool Coat

You can’t go wrong with a good quality wool coat. They are an investment piece but they will last forever. Hands down I think Ted Baker do the beat wool coats. I’ve picked up a few over the years and the beat thing is they always go on sale around Christmas time and usually around 50% off.

A wool coat, long or short, instantly dresses up any outfit. There such a classic coat, they look stylish on anyone and can give a plain outfit a sophisticated edge.

I bought this grey Ted Baker one in the Brown Thomas winter sale.
They also had the same coat in a beautiful pale pink colour.

Number 4 – leather Jacket

Ok so technically a leather jacket probably isn’t the best choice for winter as there not that warm but I think a good leather jacket should be a wardrobe staple both in summer and winter. It just goes with everything. You can throw it on over jeans and a T-shirt or a nice day dress or dress it up over a nice fancy outfit for nighttime.

The leather jacket has so many uses and can be worn with literally any outfit. Again I think Zara do a great selection of leather jackets at really affordable prices. I’ve gotten a few there and there all still perfect and I wear them so much.

Number 5 – A Softshell Jacket

Ok this is a random choice of jacket to be in my top 5 but let’s face it this is Ireland. Our winters can be pretty wet, cold and downright miserable. I don’t particularly feel like getting my nice wool coat, my cosy teddy coat or stylish camel coat ruined by an absolute downpower. The solution – a soft shell jacket preferably with a hood.

This is a great jacket to just throw on on those days that it’s absolutely lashing. I usually throw on mine if I’m running around doing jobs. It’s not too heavy and keeps me warm and dry when the weather decides to take a turn for the worse.

I think regatta do the best ones. They have great sales especially the one that’s on at the moment with some great reductions on these jackets.
