One annoying thing about dressing for the cold is that on the streets, no one can see your carefully assembled outfit because it's too damn cold, which is unfortunate. This is my main excuse reason for having multiple winter coats - practical down-filled puffy ones for when the weather is truly frightful, a basic black knee-length coat, and then at least one that's a little more fun, perhaps because of the color, or an addition such as a hood. I recently purchased this coat from Zara (below) and love it (I'd recommend sizing up), because of the light gray, the hood, the knit neck, long zipper, belt, and the fact that it's simply flattering! (Plus the fact that it was only $129 helped.)

 Everyone should have a coat that not only covers up and keeps them warm, but also that makes you feel good. On the inside. 

Here's a roundup of a few options that I'm loving...

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six

The best part? They're all under $200!
