Women's Fashion : Jackets For The Colder Months

By Mark Walters


In the colder months, a question on the mind of most women is what should they wear to stay warm, whilst still being able to look fashionable? A good option is the popular bomber jacket. These have the benefit of being versatile enough to wear to work or out shopping. Many of them are padded or fur-lined - this is ideal for wrapping up during a cold snap. They come in a range of colors and fabrics, so you'll certainly be able to find one that perfectly suits your style.

If you don't like that, then an alternative, yet still versatile option is the blazer. This tailored classic is fashionable right now and can be worn over tops for a classy evening look, or over a smart blouse for work. This means your day wardrobe can easily take you through the night too. Black or pinstripe blazers look smart with any outfit. Or, you could go for a splash of color to make a stylish impact on a winter night out.

Speaking of putting your own stamp on a classic, the winter favorite parka is back in fashion and better than ever. Khaki is still the most popular color for the parka and its easy to see why it goes with pretty much everything and suits everyone. The parka is loose and warm and zips up to your neck, keeping you warm. You can get padded versions as well as longer length coats, which are great with skirt suits as well as more casual clothes.

Another fantastic option on the jacket front is the brilliant duffle coat, which can be worn short or long depending on your preference. These coats are comfortable to wear and look fantastic done up with those iconic toggle buttons on display or left open to show off your winter wardrobe. They come in a range of colors and look great with any outfit, meaning you don't have to worry about buying one jacket for work and another for casual use.

If the above aren't your thing, then for a fitted, fashionable option, try a military style jacket. These look great with jeans or a skirt and heels. They add a touch of flair to any winter ensemble. The detailing on the lapels, and around the buttons, make a great statement. The fitted tailoring is smart and keeps you warm. Khaki is a good color choice, but you could also go for gray or black.
