statement coats

It's easy to look and feel good during these cold months when you have a warm and pretty statement coat on. Publications and blogs peg the idea of a statement coat as a trend of sorts (see: designers take on the garment for the newly churned out Fall '13 season) but really the concept has been around forever. The classic styles of parkas, anoraks, puffers, and overcoats are my favorite.  When there is just the right mix of function and smart, effortless design and style, I am sold!
