If you’ve been shivering in the cold with no coat, you don’t have any excuse now. Try this toasty Arctic Snorkle Parka by Spiewak on for size.
This bronze-colored parka is loaded with four snap pockets plus one zippered pocket on the left sleeve. A combined zipper and button closure keeps the cold out, and the fur-lined hood add a dash of luxe for the outdoors.
I’m loving this coat not just for its warmth but for its details - the subtle shade of bronze, the inner-ribbed sleeve cuffs, and the snap-button closures on all the pockets. This coat is great for everyday wear, especially on rainy or snowy days. And at a sale price of $196 from $280 at Karmaloop, why not warm up?

It is full-on fall, ladies and gents, so there ain’t no excuse for you to be cruisin’ around outdoors in just a flimsy cotton T-shirt, or at best, your favorite worn-in hoodie. That don’t mean you gotta sacrifice lookin’ fly as hell either. Don’t worry, girls, this week’s edition of Too Hot Not to Cop has got you covered… in the Mercy Blue Blazer by Minimum.
This cornflower blue coat is bound to brighten up even your greyest day while keepin’ you toasty. Made of 70 percent wool and 30 percent poly, this slightly-oversized blazer plays up the “borrowed from your boyfriend” look, while the detailed tailoring and lush fabric keep it lookin’ feminine. The coat features a single-button closure at the front and a slightly longer back, but I think that my favorite thing about this coat has got to be the big lapel that stays high in the back. The wool fabric is also stiff enough so that the collar line doesn’t collapse (big bonus)!
This blazer sits at $255 at Pixie Market, a small price to pay to be the flyest girl on the walk.

OK here’s a sneak peak into some hot fall jacketsĀ - and yes, I know it’s early. But who doesn’t love coats? First, you’ve got the felt military inspired coat with lovely tie belt by Stella McCartney. Love the colour and the details (above). Then you’ve got the silk taffeta Bamford (nice and classic) and the double breasted Pringle of Scotland, both after the jump. You can’t go wrong with dark colours, especially chocolate brown, this fall.
