If you are all about classic American preppy style, you need a camel pea coat in your life. This coat is short, with two or three buttons for fastening, and vertical or slash pockets. Once worn by navy sailors, today it's considered a classic fashion piece.

Cape Coat

You'll look super for years to come, in a cape style coat that showcases your heroic fashion sense. This pretty coat style never realy goes out of fashion, and looks especially right with dressier outfits. It's also a great way to get that "coat over the shoulders" look, without the hassle of having to balance your outerwear in precarious fashion. Wear one over a long-sleeved dress to winter wedding receptions, or over a pantsuit to keep warm on your cold weather commute to work.

If the two most popular types of coat for women had a baby, it would be this coat! The moto camel coat combines the classic sophistication of the winter wool coat, with the edgy zippered construction of your favorite leather motorcycle jacket. You can find versions in a shorter length, but for cold climates, we love a longer coat (as pictured), which can be worn over all of your outfits for the office, to keep you warm for cold weather shopping, or going out in the evening.

Wrap Coat

A wrap coat, or robe coat, offers the easy appeal of a classic bath robe. This stylish type of coat is usually slightly oversized, with slouchy shoulders, and a flattering tie closure that gets you out the door faster than buttons. Wear one to add effortless polish to all your basic outfits, and create shape with your outerwear.
