We know that for those of us living in the GTA, fashion must be married to practicality during the winter. Trust us, we wouldn’t steer you wrong in this area. The last thing we want is for you to be stuck inside any longer than you need to be, simply because you don’t have something warm enough to put on. But, we also feel strongly that you shouldn’t have to blend into the crowd to do so!

With outerwear that looks as great as what we’re about to show you, it’s going to be pretty difficult to keep us indoors this winter. This year’s trends are anything but basic and we have a sneaking suspicion that they are about to become some of our strongest wardrobe staples pretty quickly. I mean we are talking about the kind of coats that make outfits, rather than hide them.

Our favourite trends right now include long lines, bold colours, interesting silhouettes and, for the superhero in all of us, capes! As is our annual tradition around here, we present to you our favourite outerwear trends of 2015.

Long Line Coats

Perfect for long, cold days, these coats have got you covered – quite literally. Slimming, and a great update on your everyday wool coat, we love this lean look and how there is zero chance of a cold wind nipping at the small of your back!

 

Zara

 Already have your fair share of wool? How about this down-filled version?

Anything But Basic Black:

Our second trend to highlight today is the move away from neutral territory. By adding bright pops of faux fur or going for a classic look in a bolder hue than the typical wintery black or grey, you’re racking up major style points in an incredibly easy way.

Capes:

We fully intend to ride this trend wave as long as we can – because nothing makes us feel quite as superhero-chic as a good cape does. So, now that we’re seeing cape-style coats coming out in anticipation of winter weather, we’re actually finding ourselves hoping for a cold day.
