Womens Fall and Winter Coats
Puffer
"Puffer coats nowadays are more compact and slimming then they used to be," says New York stylist Meg Goldman. "If you're wearing one, you won't also need a big heavy sweater. Opt for skinny pants or a skinny boot. Break up the proportions."

"This is definitely a more sporty look," says Goldman. "You wouldn't want to wear it with a suit or a pencil skirt."
The bright orange hue of this jacket is good for being out and about on the weekends and the faux fur trim detail on this hood will come in handy when winter strikes.

Definitely the warmest and most durable coat on the market, a fuller length puffer will offer the best coverage against the elements.
Look for versions that have a little nip at the waist or come with a belt so as not to lose your waistline or your figure.

Military
This season, the classic coat comes many colors. The most important thing to remember: Avoid too much ornamentation.
"Though they're cute, epaulets are too 'Sgt. Pepper,'" says Goldman. "The more stuff you have on it, the greater the chance that you probably won't want to wear it again, which would be unfortunate with all the money that you spend on a coat."

Buttons are an important component to the military look. Make sure they are good quality so they don't pop off after the first wearing. Also, the more antique-looking, the better!

Plaid
The checked pattern has never gotten so much play. Tartan-loving fashionistas have plenty of options this season. Case-in-point: the a long coat, an au courant cape, or even a cooler-than-thou motorcycle jacket seen here.
Should you choose plaid as your exterior canvas, keep the rest of your outfit relatively clean so as to avoid looking like a mismatched Christmas present.
Which isn't to say that there isn't a place for mismatched patterns - lest we learn nothing from designer Dries van Noten!- but pick one item (ie Christine's leopard print scarf, right) and keep it in a relatively similar color scheme so the look is not too forced.

so the fact that there are fancy tiny jackets does it mean i wanna be cold?
i hate being cold and i think everyone looks good besides what they wear, it doenst change anything because your are just being too selfconsious, uncertainty is bad, we are human

I would just like to say that I MISS wearing cute jackets, sweaters, and coats!! I lived in Michigan for 28 years and I could'nt hardly wait for the temperature to start dropping so I could go to the store and shop for an adorable jacket for the season!! I now live in Florida where I can only count on being able to wear a cute jacket maybe a month out of the year. IF THAT!! Someday I'm heading back north. I really am a jacket, sweater, sweatshirt, ski coat, type of person!! To those of you that get to wear them, I'm JEALOUS!!!!!!
