Winter Coats and Jackets for Fall
2010 Winter 2011
Here is a review of the major styles of women's red winter coats for the fall 2010.
I also cover fashionable jackets and short coats for this
winter 2010/11 season.
There is no doubt that this winter is the season of the coat.
Camel
may well be
considered the top fashion tone for fall 2010, but if you simply
loathe camel what are the alternatives? Look no further
than a lovely red coat.
In this women's coat review page I'm also looking at short coats
and
other styles of women's winter coats, which are perfect for fall 2010/winter
2011, but which are not camel style.
Forget
subtle. If you abhor neutral colours then you will like
these fashionable red coats, whether vermillion, scarlet or cherry. The catwalks of
AW10 showed this trend too, for example, this woman's red coat shown left from
Caroline Herrera AW10.
Those
camel coats seem to have been getting all the attention this
season, but those looks may not be for every woman. These red coats offer grown-up looks that
emulate catwalk styles and offer cheerful happy colour.

If colour is less important, then seek out texture for your coat in the form of brocade, velvet, leather or
fur leopard print fabric. Ring the changes with heavy textured
cable or Fair Isle knits and coatigans that all complete the
winter outerwear picture. Whatever your aspirations, you will find plenty of choice
of texture and colours amongst these styles: full maxi, calf, knee, hip length coats, and
jackets for the winter 2011 wardrobe.
Be cheered, there are also many
subdued women's coat colours other than camel which may offer a better choice for your
lifestyle and importantly flatter and compliment your hair and
skin colouring.

Subdued colours like khaki drab and navy dominate the utility
military pieces, but for those who long for colour there is the
brilliance of vivid brights. These coats below have military

Alternatively, go even shorter and check out thigh length red coats in cloth or
rib knits.
These red coats below follow a similar theme using the duffle
and repeat button effect. The coats combine to make good
casual outfits with impact to create a youthful look that's
great for dashing about.

If you are not convinced by red coats, then think of adding red
accessories such as gloves, colourful tights or scarves.
Thick
opaque tights are the saviour of a winter wind; they also
compliment a
skirt that's just a bit too short for office wear, and in cold
weather
add to everyday
comfort. It is often possible to get away with a shorter skirt
length whatever your age as long as the legs are covered up with
leggings or opaques.
Opaque tights have the advantage of looking good with contrast
shoes or boots, and being the low cost accessory that can pull an
outfit together.
Stock up on your wardrobe of winter tights
and get your favourite colours on your wardrobe shelves at home
now. I like the functional warmth opaque tights provide, so the
wide colour selection and easy availability at
Marks and Spencer is terrific.
M&S offer various weights and deniers from nylon to wool. I am
especially fond of the M&S Autograph range pure merino wool or
cashmere varieties. The tights at Marks and Spencer are
excellent value and their most popular opaque tights are the
three pack 40 denier tights
T602123B at £8 for three pairs.

Berman Antique Brocade Coat £75/€90. Stockist Number: 020 7003

But my latest must-have are these gorgeous
M&S Autograph black lace tights
T605423 shown left and which liven up the plainest
of dresses or add pizzazz to a red outfit.
Brighten up your winter with any coat colourful or subtle. Just
make sure you have at a new coat to make that statement for
2010.
