A coat is something that you will wear all year round. Even though the weather is nice during the day, most of the time, temperatures will cool down at night, sometimes, by 20 degrees or more. Therefore, having a coat is important for staying warm.
Unfortunately, the same coat does not work all year round. For each season, you will need a different type of coat. Sometimes, certain coats can be worn through multiple seasons. Other times, you will find yourself putting away one coat for another each season.
Below is a seasonal guide to the coat you will need. Read on to learn what types of coats work for which seasons.
Spring: Spring is a fantastic time of year. The sun is just starting to come out more often and it is starting to get a little warmer. Sometimes, you'll still feel the light breeze of winter, but more often than not, you will feel a bit warmer. The perfect coat for the Spring is a trench coat. The trench coat will keep you warm and even help to ward off the rain during those rainy Spring days. The trench coat is stylish, yet comfortable. It also works for the office and for the evening.
Another coat you may want to invest in is the rain coat. The rain coat is water proof and is usually made of vinyl. This vinyl material keeps you dry, makes it much more awkward to wear on a normal sunny day. If you can buy multiple coats, invest in a rain coat so your other coats won't become damaged as easily. If not, then simple buy a trench coat. Other Spring coats that are perfect are the cargo jacket and the jean jacket. Both are stylish and work for Spring.
Summer: Summer months bring a lot less need for a coat. Most of the time, a light cardigan will do. However, a summer jacket is handy to have around, especially at night when it gets a bit chilly. For the summer, try a nice linen coat for work. For casual days, linen is a good material still. Otherwise, try a cotton jacket which will provide a little more warmth. Overall, in the summer, enjoy your time off from your coats.
Fall: Fall brings with it all of the anticipation of the holidays. It is chillier in the fall and usually rains less than Spring. Winter is coming so you can start to brush off your winter coats. Fall coats are very similar to Spring. Trench coats are perfect for the fall since there is usually a protective inner lining that will help to keep you warm. It is also roomy enough that you can add a sweater underneath when it starts to get cold. For this reason, some people have worn their trench coats even during the winter.
Regardless, the trench coat is stylish and will last a long time. Most of the time, you can buy one in a longer length which will help to keep your legs warm. Another fall option is the pea coat. These short wool jackets are great for keeping you warm on top. Since it is fall and it isn't as cold as winter, the short jackets are a good option. Finally, suede or leather coats work well in the fall since they provide extra warmth that you don't need in the summer.
Winter: Winter is the season of coats. Many people have multiple winter coats. While the pea coat and trench coat can both be worn at this time, you will want something warmer if you experience snow and colder weather in your area. Look for a wool or cashmere coat that is long. Both materials will keep you very warm. Another coat is the down coat or the quilted coat or the puffy jacket. These coats have extra lining and the down or layers will keep you extra warm. Finally, if you can afford it, purchase a fur or mink coat. Both of these are very warm and very fashionable.
Beyond the seasonal coats are coats you need for the evening like satin or dress coats. Additionally, you will want the office blazer or suit jacket to wear to work and important meetings. Finally, you may want the more casual pullover or track jacket for when you work out or go hiking or jogging. A coat is a very important thing to have in your wardrobe. From the summer trench coat to the winter wool coat, make sure you have something that will keep you warm.
