Black pea coat the favorite of the season

The must have fave item of this season is the Black Pea Coat. Whether you chose a vintage black pea coat or a wool black pea coat, the women’s black pea coat is hot enough to keep you warm this winter. From La hippy to New York socialite, all of us will have to make a little room in our wardrobe for a black pea coat this winter.
By the way my favorite boots from last year were a pair of Love from Australia ugg boots. It has taken my months to figure out that they now go by the name Australia Love Collective boots.

The Men’s Pea Coat: Never a Trend Victim

The Men’s Pea Coat: Never a Trend Victim
Any functional jacket that keeps you warm and comfortable essentially covers the requirements of a suitable winter covering, but what about the men who want to be “ridiculously good-looking” at the same time? Answer; the Men’s pea coat.
There’s just something about cold weather and a well-made men’s pea coat that makes a man look sexy. I can’t really tell you why, I can only tell you the right coat gives a man bulk – which makes him look powerful on a subconscious level.” - Isabella Snow
Your men’s pea coat will be the first thing people see when you step out of a room and into the cold this fall. A jacket can be considered the wrapping paper of your outfit. Not having the proper coat can ruin what can otherwise be a choice outfit, and can make your otherwise well put together wardrobe choices underneath look like a mess. To be as presentable and fashionable as possible, you want to keep that men’s pea coat stylish. Most of all, you want it to convey your unique personality, along with your access to resources.
The men’s pea coat was originally worn by sailors of the European navies, which makes it no wonder the style would cut an impressive figure. Pea coats always manage to make any man looked refined. It’s clean-cut but still carries that tough masculine weight with it.
The men’s pea coat, having long been a men's fashion staple since updated by Burberry in 1901, the men’s pea coat still occupies its own impenetrable niche in men`s fashion. This season shows no difference in the affinity for trench coats, but as fabrics and styles update, so must this classic piece. Shorter lengths and lighter fabrics gave the trench a contemporary feel. Of course there is nothing wrong with the classic — which can be paired with everything from suits to jeans and a t-shirt.
This season is an easy opportunity to pick up a men’s pea coat that for once doesn’t require any layering, but rather sits on top of it all. The men’s pea coat will be the finishing touch on your daywear and will translate beautifully into night time wearing.

Women’s Pea Coat

The women’s Pea Coat: Fashion Staple Since Time Immemorial


Every era has its fashion classics, yet few have proved as versatile as the women’s pea coat. This style staple has established itself as an iconic piece of fashion history, despite its humble beginnings as a basic piece of military apparel the women’s pea coat has found its in the fashion industry.

The women’s pea coat has graced movie screens, catwalks, store windows and celebrity wardrobes lending it a luxe, businesslike respectability. Adapted by designers and adopted by fashion gurus, the women’s pea coat has taken many a modern twist since its time in the trenches and is akin to a second skin for the style-conscious.

Nothing dresses up a casual outfit like a well-chosen women’s pea coat. It's a statement piece that adds cohesion and personality. With the new trend toward the art of refinement, this season's women’s pea coats promise to inject a high degree of elegance, instantly updating any wardrobe with a balance of cutting edge and vintage charm. While the traditional women’s pea coat will always offers dependable stability with its goes-with-everything approach, this season's pea coats enjoy a little bit more drama in sporting a suffusion of rich and vibrant jewel colors alongside the tried and true (but certainly not tired) hues of black, khaki, and slate.
The up and coming fall styles are also decidedly feminine, with many elegant details that draw their inspiration more from 1940s Holly­wood glam than dirty trenches (think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s). The sexy silhouette is back, complete with ruffles, three-quarters or seven-eighths sleeves, and a full skirt. These women’s pea coats are mature, but far from being conservative, they incorporate modern touches to keep them fresh and whimsical.
Dress it up, tone it down, cinch it at the waist, or wear it to bare a favorite blouse and trousers; the trusted women’s pea coat is what we have consistently relied on to pull an outfit up from the depths of dull despair and into the chic world of fashionista bliss, making it must-have for any winter wardrobe.
