My Top Five Winter Coats

topfivewintercoats

With the past 48 hours of constant rain, I felt inspired to find my top five Winter coats. 
I've always been pretty awful with coats. I just getting soaked. Especially now I'm driving, I just find I don't wear one. 
This year though, I feel I may need to add one to my wardrobe. If this weather is anything to go by, I'm going to need one. 

If you were like me and watched the Burberry show during LFW, then you'll probably be lusting after a trench coat right about now. 
This one from Topshop is a good alternative with a extremely smaller price tag. I'm also loving the addition of the leather collar.
2. Vintage Camo Jacket - £29.99
This is one of my favourite camo jackets around at the minute. 
They seem to be a huge trend for A/W and can be found in an array of different styles. From the simple ones like this one, to the more structured ones covered with studs.
Luckily, I won a give away over at Unwritten Hollywood, so soon I will be receiving an amazing customised one made by this lovely lady.
Duffle coats seem to be a recurring trend for Winter. I love the fact this has the addition of a fur hood and quilting detail.
This is the ultimate keep warm coat.
4. Brown Hooded Coatigan - £65.00
To me, this coat screams granny chic. 
It's not something I would normally pick, but I found my eyes kept creeping over to it. I think it may be for the fact that it looks incredibly warm. Definitely a coat I can now see myself wrapped up in on bonfire night, with a cup of hot chocolate in hand.
The only downside to this coat, is it may not be ideal for rain. It'd probably feel like you were wearing one giant soggy sponge.
Saving the best till last. I am in love with this coat.
I recently featured this in my River Island Wishlist and it's been all I can think about since.
I think it's definitely an acquired taste, purely because it has so much going on. But in my eyes, leather, faux fur and a bit of tartan, how can you go wrong?
This coat may just be on my Christmas wishlist this year.
