Anu: You and me both my dear… But first I have to pare down my winter coat collection to something reasonable

Let me just say amen to this post. This was my first winter in a snowy place and I made pretty much all the mistakes you mentioned here. Next year I’ll be much better prepared to pick out a good coat.

Alexandra: I agree, totally subjective.. but I guess my main point was: PLEASE DON’T BUY BLACK… LOL

Unless you have a fab fab fab reason.

Auburn: Yep, it’s on my list now

Elisabeth: LOL.. I didn’t know what else to call it. Nuzzle area.

MM: I am too. I really want a red winter coat, but.. first I have to pare down on what I DO have and/or find the PERFECT winter coat I’ll wear for many many many years, and pay a large sum of cash (or find it in a thrift store)

My grandmother is also completely in love with red coats. She says she know that someone will find her right away if she falls into a snowdrift. There aren’t many snowdrifts in her area, but it’s cute. I think she just likes to stand out.

Great post and I was chuffed to see you included “nuzzle” area! I am so thrilled I’m not the only one who looks for this in a winter coat!

I find the coat selection thing so personal.
I had a red one and had to give it away because it was simply too bright and just too much.
I am also a fanatic when it comes to fit, so I would never, ever wear a coat that’s one size too large. I have a very thin, tiny fleece zip-up that can fit under a coat that’s exactly my size as it doesn’t add any bulb but considerable warmth.

I have to agree on the pockets though. My current coat doesn’t have any and it leads to frequent misplacement of gloves, keys etc. Very frustrating!
