WHAT STYLE WINTER COAT DO YOU WEAR

over tunic length tops ?  I'm talkin' Chicago winters. Puffer coats, well, they make me look "puffy". DB's TSV looks like it adds 50 pounds to all the models. 

 

I am short/petite - any suggestions?

We don't get Chicago winter, but we do get below 0 ( not 32) on occasion and it does snow. If it's cold enough I wear my ankle length wool coat.

A regular length coat would hit me at ankle length.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: WHAT STYLE WINTER COAT DO YOU WEAR

I have a bunch of them.  I usually buy one or two each year. 

 

All different sizes, styles and colors .... depends on weather and where I'm going which one I wear.  (I buy two sizes ... the larger size gives me room to wear a sweater or jacket under the coat.)

 

Two LandsEnd Squall parkas  (one black, one blue)

Four DB faux furs (various styles and colors)

Three LandsEnd primaloft jacket  (one beige, one raspberry, one blue/red print)

One LandsEnd primaloft coat (black)

My everyday coat is from Espirit.  I got it at Younkers.  It's similar to Susan Gravers thanksgiving TSV, but no faux fur.  I'm in WI.  I need a hood.

I am from Minnesota and wear either this one from Dennis Basso

When it gets really chilly down here, this is my favorite coat.

Back in snowy central NY, I'd put on a pair of OTK boots, long gloves and I'd be good to trudge through the storm.

I buy most of my coats at Lands End since they have petite sizes in most styles.

I have an elegant tweed maxi-coat by Hal Rubenstein. I like to be covered up when it's cold.

Have you checked out Land's End?  They have a nice selection of coats of all lengths.
