Here are some items that will definitely look great and be super practical for you this winter:
- A straight, clean-lined coat that reaches down to the ankles, in deep neutral colors will be ideal (neutrals never fail). This type of coat adds a sophisticated and powerful touch to any winter look. Check out the Bridget Sweater Coat by rag & bone, with an ideal length and materials that will keep you warm without looking overwhelming.
