Another winter morning means another chance to put on that coat. We know, we know, by the time spring rolls around you're ready to throw that jacket out the window, but until then, think of it this way: that topper is your best accessory. Ann Taylor's Style Director Andrew Taylor had this to say about winter coats, "The right piece of outerwear is the best way to make a fashion statement in the colder months." Stylish and perfect for your shape, a coat will pull together any look (and you know how we love wearing pajamas underneath--shh, no one needs to know!). Not to mention the fact that outerwear is often the priciest part of your wardrobe, so let's make it count.

The best coat for my body is the one that will keep me the warmest. If I lived someplace where the winters were really cold, a nice fox or mink would do nicely. Of course, I'd have to always have to carry a can of pepper spray to ward off the PETAphiles.

they are all ugly and cheap looking. I know. I was shopping this year for a winter coat and I was appalled. the quality was atrocious, and the style totally impractical for those of us who live where it is COLD, and may want to wear a heavy sweater or a jacket underneath. What you used to find at Penneys or Walmart is now at Macys or the Boston Store. What has happened??

Seriously, the Plus Size coat had to cover "all manner of evils"? Was that necessary?

I am sure that you won't find any of those coats in JC Penney's.
