My Favorite Coats this Winter (and how they work in my wardrobe)

I picked up a few new coats this winter because the ones I have are older (& I still love them!) but I was looking for a few different ones to fill some holes in my wardrobe.

I found three different coats that all work for different purposes for me and I’m sharing them today! I outline below my favorite ways to wear each coat.

As always, I link via Liketoknow.it using affiliate links & I appreciate you using them to shop. When you use my links I make a very small commission & use it to keep creating content. Thank you!

This first coat is a creamy white color & purchased it from Gap. It comes in a few other great colors & petite & tall sizes as well. I bought it on sale for around $60 & it’s a great coat. It has a flap that covers your bum so it’s great with leggings without being a super long coat. I love wearing it for running errands because it’s not too hot in stores!
This coat is made out of recycled materials & is the most lightweight coat of the three. I would suggest layering underneath with a sweater or sweatshirt for extra warmth.

I was SO excited about this coat because I’ve been wanting one this color for awhile now (I think this color is sold out, but there are multiple other color options & the olive green and dark malbec wine color look great too!). I was able to purchase this one on sale too, for around $49– It’s a great quality coat from Columbia. I have other older coats from Columbia as well and they’re all really nice coats & have held up for years. It’s a great neutral color (for me anyway, ha!) that isn’t white or black & it definitely keeps me warm and cozy. The sleeves have an elastic on the wrist so it’s great for keeping snow out. The only thing I would change is I wish the hood was removable– but I still absolutely love it. The double zipper is also nice for mobility! I like to unzip the bottom part when driving or moving around a lot (skiing, sledding, building snowmen 😉
I wear this one for errands as well, but also out in the snow for sledding/skiing/etc!

This coat is from Chicwish & on the pricier side, but it’s a good one. It’s obviously the dressiest option & SO pretty! The fur hood is super fun & the fur part is actually removable so I could wear it as a scarf if wanted. The color is a nice creamy white & I look forward to wearing this one for dressier occasions this winter (church, winter wedding, date night, etc!). It looks so nice zipped up and the button collar & front pockets add to the charm.

Which coat is your favorite? I really can’t choose because they are all so good!

3 Ways to Wear Black Denim for the Holidays

I love the holidays– there are all sorts of fun events to attend– performances, parties, visiting santa, seeing Christmas lights, getting together with friends, etc.

Some of these events require a fancy outfit, but most of them (at least for me!) don’t require anything too dressed up & I just want to look nice but not be decked out. When I’m looking to elevate an outfit, I usually turn to the color black. It’s classic & always comes through for me.

I put together these three outfits with black denim & I think they’re the perfect amount of “dressed up” but not fancy. I’m wearing skinny jeans but you could also do straight legs, flares, mom jeans, or whatever style fits what you like best!

Almost everything I am wearing in this post is older (my long duster cardigan, black sweater, and necklace are the only linkable items) so I will link similar options if you’d like to use these outfits as inspiration. Alternatively, if you shop your closet I’m sure you could put together some great outfit combos as well!
I use affiliate links, which means I make a small commission if you purchase using these links. There is no additional cost to you & it helps me continue to style outfits & do what I love doing! Thanks 🙂

I love this outfit because it is elevated by wearing a velvet cami. Velvet is a GREAT fabric choice for winter & definitely makes anything feel a bit fancier. Of course, where I live you definitely need a sweater this time a year & I feel like the duster cardigan is a bit fancier than a shorter cardigan. (below, I linked a velvet cami that is more scoop necked & comes in multiple colors– the green & the burgundy are also gorgeous choices!)

A pop of red is always a good choice for the holidays! I chose to add it in with a sweater but you could also choose to do a pop of color with your shoes instead. Alternatively, you could do a green sweater if that’s more your color!

All black is always a favorite (and I have an all black for the holidays outfit guide post in the works!) & the addition of an off-shoulder sweater adds just a touch of appeal! The balloon sleeves on this sweater also make it dressier & more fun.

To dress up each of these outfits I wore my black velvet heels with an ankle strap. You could definitely switch them out for flats or booties too!

A Neutral Shirt Worn 3 Ways

This taupe button front shirt has been one of my most worn tops this fall. It’s so easy to style, so comfy & I ordered a neutral color so it works perfectly with so much in my wardrobe. I did a reel styling it (you can see it here) earlier this fall. I plan to wear it SO MUCH as we head into winter as well. Maybe I’ll need to do another styling session styling it as it gets cooler out.

Here are the three ways I styled it:

This is obviously super casual (& since this, I have gotten some skin colored no-show socks, HA!) & comfy. I would even add a baseball cap and maybe a long coat to make this even cuter!

The hat & sock booties are fun additions to dress this top up. I paired them with my favorite levi wedgie skinny jeans (sold out in this wash, but so many other washes available!).

A midi floral skirt & mules are always so fun. I love this printed one with this top!

Which of these three ways do you think you’d wear? My favorite is with the jeans, sock booties, and hat!

Shirt jackets, or “shackets” as the kids are calling them these days are so trendy this year! It’s certainly a trend that will carry over from fall into winter & I’m here for it because it is casual, cute & comfy! I have picked up a few shirt jackets & wear them often, Usually as a second layer. This one has a perfect mix of whites, grays, & oranges. It fits with a lot in my wardrobe & is very versatile!
Here are three ways I’ve worn this one:

You can’t go wrong with an all black base & some interesting layers & shoes on top! I love to mix my browns & blacks.

This Amazon sweatshirt is quilted & great quality– I love it so much! It pairs perfectly with the oranges in the shirt jacket. Throw on some skinnes and some chelsea boots and perfect!

Either tied around the waist or worn casually the shirt jacket looks so cute as a layer with a brown sweater, straight leg jeans and sock booties!
