Winter is coat season, which means it's time to think once again about how to combine great looks with the very practical need to have sufficient protection against winter's cold and unpleasant weather. This year's coat styles generally do a fairly good job of striking this difficult balance, but of course there are always plenty of options available that are purely for the forward-thinking fashion lover!

Pea Coat - This traditionally men's style coat is available in lots of interesting and attractive variations for women. It typically is shown with oversized buttons, larger lapels, and sleeves that may be full length or cropped depending on the designer. Look for this style in high quality wool for maximum protection, but don't settle for traditional black or brown if you want something more flashy. Many designers are offering warm and comfortable pea coats in a variety of colours including bright yellow, hunter green, rich purple, and other eye-catching shades.

Lightweight Feminine - This style can be seen in a variety of lengths and fabrics, ranging from mid-thigh down to mid-calf and in fabrics as diverse as nylons, cotton blends, and polyesters. If you want to go ultra-feminine, choose a style that is gently gathered with a slight A-line shape and ruffled lapels; if it has a tie belt that's even better because it allows you to emphasize your waistline and bring out your sexy curves.

Double Breasted - A classic coat style that is more popular than ever this season thanks to its practical styling and exceptional good looks. This year it's being shown in a range of colours, including traditional dark harvest shades, but also in striking jewel tones like red, blues, greens, and the like. Look for a double breasted coat to have heavier, warm construction that often includes a turned-up neckline for extra protection against the cold. The flared look is also popular this year, giving your curves a bit of extra emphasis without sacrificing anything in terms of comfort and warmth.

Duffle Coat - Very practical and very warm, but you don't have to sacrifice style entirely with this type of coat. Longer lengths and extra warm fabrics help to keep you warm and protect against the elements, but brighter colour and contrasting hood liners help to add some flash and interest to many designer's versions. It's a great way to balance comfort and warmth with just enough fashion and style to keep you feeling interesting, exciting, and the centre of attention.

Whatever style of coat you choose be sure to make it one that you're going to love wearing throughout the winter season!
