This season offers plenty of coats for fashionistas trying to spice up their winter wardrobes. Plaid styles that resemble hip lumberjacks are unexpected hits, as are fun puffers in metallic colors. Peacoats and military-style coats always will be fashionable, and sportier types will love the versatility of vests. The most important thing when choosing a coat? Make sure it keeps you warm.
