Here in Canada we know, coats are essential to staying warm through the Fall and winter months. At cleo, we like to meld function and fashion together so that you look good while staying warm.
We asked our cleo team. Here’s the consensus on the key coats you need:
TRANSITIONAL COAT
When the seasons start shifting and the temperatures drop, you need a coat or jacket in an appropriate weight to keep you warm, but not too warm. Our team recommends a quilted jacket, heavier weight shackets, or a trendy faux leather / vegan leather option. These can easily be layered for function but also add to your outfit from a fashion standpoint. Whether you're heading pumpkin picking, out for a fall stroll, or to the bus stop - trust us - you’ll throw these coats on a lot through the transitional seasons.
WOOL COAT
A wool coat is an excellent choice for in between cool and cold. We love how a wool coat looks quite polished and can add a sense of strength to an outfit. We recommend that you try a longer style knee-calf length. Pop a wool coat in a fashion colour like green or burgundy or make a statement in a pattern such as plaid or houndstooth. A wool coat has a classic look that will go miles in your closet.
DOWN COAT
Once it’s cold (maybe even frigid) hands down, you need a vegan down coat. These coats are serioulsy warm. Now, you might think that a down coat is only for walks or running errands on January… think again. Down coats are looking so sleek and fashionable, they can easily look polished enough for any occasion. If you already have a black down coat in your closet and want to take it to the next level, our team recommends looking at colour like green or white. For the fashion lover, try the vegan eco leather puffer which will add style to your look any day. Now that’s Every Day Ready.
SHEARLING COAT
Need something new that will make a statement and keep you warm? Look no further than a shearling coat. Influenced from decades past, shearling coats are new and cooler than ever. Not only are they seriously warm, they look fantastic wherever you are headed!
