The challenge: finding an everyday wool winter coat that has some edge…aka doesn’t look like the Banana Republic peacoat I wore Freshman year of high school – sorry, Mom. I hate shopping for winter coats so much that the one that I actually fell in love with 5 years ago is still my go-to. Sadly, it’s at the point now where the wool has pilled and discolored, so I have no choice but to find a new one…sigh. I’m looking for something simple but unique, mid-length and wool (because ain’t nobody got time for “pseudo” wool mid-January in Chicago). Here are 9 coats I’m considering at the moment – stay tuned for an outfit post with the winner!
