Style Stop
By Linda Peavy
It’s November in Northeast Ohio. That icy chill in the air isn’t going away soon. It is time to think about outerwear that says style and sophistication. Your coat no longer needs to be just comfy. It can exude chic.
Here are six types of coats guaranteed to keep you well-dressed through winter:
- Metallic Quilted Puffer Coats
The puffer coat has become a classic. Puffer coats have signature quilted design layers of down and/or synthetic insulation in between the layers. This year, shine wherever you go with brightly colored print puffer coats.

2. Classic Car Coats
These long, classic coats have sharp collars that
close with a single- or double-breasted button and are typically made from fabrics like wool, pure camel hair, cashmere, or a combination of materials, providing softness, warmth, and durability that never goes out of style. Surprise yourself and opt for a color other than camel.

3. Capes
No outerwear says chic better than a fabulous cape. A throwback to an earlier era, capes have made a strong comeback. Whether military style or open in the front, the roomy A-line shape of capes complements all body shapes and sizes.

4. Colored Leather Jackets
Leather may be a classic, but it can get dull just wearing the typical black or brown, especially on a dreary winter day. Get the best of both worlds with bright colors to light up the night or snow.
