Winter Warmer's: the cocoon coat.

Temperatures are dropping, mornings are getting darker. Yep, whether we want to face it or not.. And dare I say it, winter is fast approaching!! So, I'm embracing that fact and beginning my hunt for this years winter coat.
I've been researching trends from the catwalk, and had a look at what versions the high street have got to offer. The three main trends that stick out this season seem to be sleeveless, oversized and sporty. I'm a big fan of the oversized styles.. They just seem more comfy and warm and something you can wrap up in during the colder months! The main shape being cocoon; with their rounded shoulders, billowing arms and overall womanly feel. I've pictured ones I like from the catwalk below..



Proenza Schouler


Richard Nicoll


Richard Nicoll


MaxMara


Celine


Hermes


Lacoste


DKNY

I'm loving the fur texture of the Proenza Schouler and MaxMara coats, but think my favourite has to be the Celine one. The 'to the knee' length seems to be a theme, however with me been short, I think it's harder to pull off (unless I wore heels.. And I'm not cut out to do that everyday!) I've browsed online for coats and screen shotted what I like from the high street.




ASOS, Vintage style cocoon coat, £110


Urban Outfitters, Minpink two tone Mongolian coat, £90


New Look, Light pink mohair boyfriend coat £64.99


New Look, Black check oversize collarless coat, £59.99


ASOS, Cocoon bonded Borg biker, £85



Oasis, Salt and pepper biker coat, £100

Top of my list is the 'AOS cocoon bonded Borg biker'.. Love the fur and the leather together and I think I could pair it with quite a lot of my outfits. I do also love the 'New Look light pink mohair boyfriend coat' but not sure if I would get as many wears out of it with it being pink, therefore finding it harder to colour match it with outfits. I'm going to do more coat hunting.. A shopping trip into town is in order so I can try things on. Hopefully I will have a new coat in the next week or so.. And when I do get one I'll post it up! :)
