One of the biggest staple items for your closet in the winter is a nice winter coat (or two, or three…haha). There’s the coat that keeps you super warm (usually a puffer coat or parka), and then there’s the coat that keeps you relatively warm but is much more stylish and flattering (usually a peacoat, wrap, or trench coat). I love having both types of these coats in my closet. During the week when I’m going to work I like to wear a more practical coat that keeps me VERY warm since I walk a mile from Grand Central to my office in NYC everyday. Even if I didn’t have to walk that far having a heavy duty winter coat living in the northeast is essential. On the contrary, when I’m going out on the weekends, especially to church or a nice dinner, I like to wear a more stylish coat. This post is going to highlight the more stylish coat (I may do another post on my practical coat since it’s seriously the best thing EVER and was a gift from Jonathan this year for Christmas!).
Having options is great, but it can also be pricey. If you’re in the market for a nice jacket but have been hesitant to spend the money then I have some great news for you: you don’t have to spend a lot of money! Cue the most adorable online boutique that has a nice variety of super CHIC, affordable, and well-made coats: ChicWish. I was seriously so impressed with the quality of their coats. I have two of them and they’re both great options. The first is a double breasted tweed coat. I’ve always loved the look of tweed and the black and white is a classic! I have it in an XS and it still has room to layer with a sweater underneath (i.e. it’s not too tight on the arms). This coat is so classy and easy to style since it goes with almost anything! Wear it dressed up over a dress or skirt, or dress it down with jeans and booties — you can’t go wrong either way! The best part is it’s on sale right now 31% off making it only $88! It’s not intended to be super warm so I would recommend layering with it if it’s cold where you are. It’s also a great transitional piece for the spring since the material isn’t too thick or heavy.
The other coat I have from ChicWish is an open front wool-blend coat that I absolutely love! The sand color is another classic because you can never go wrong with neutrals. It comes with a sash so you can tie it around the waist for a more fitted look. This is another coat that you could dress up or down. I wore it to church with a pleated skirt, turtleneck, and heels and loved how effortlessly classy and timeless it looked! I would also wear it with a T-shirt, jeans, and boots. It’s so versatile and it also very well-made. It’s also on the lighter side so I would recommend layering with this one too. I have this one in a size XS and it has room to fit thick sweaters underneath. This one is also on sale right now 44% off making it just $49.90!
The prices on these coats are honestly a steal! You could get both for under $150! I can’t rave enough about them, for the price and quality, they’re totally worth it! So if you’ve been on the hunt for a cute winter coat, look no further than ChicWish! They have a ton more styles on their website too so it’s worth a peak, AND you can save even more money with the following codes: $5 off $70+ with code VA5; $15 off $120+ with code VA15; and $20 off $150+ with code VA20!
