Whether you&rsquo;re going to enjoy a white winter this December or need something to keep the chilly weather at bay, we&rsquo;ve got tips on how to find the perfect coat for you

When all you&rsquo;re used to is sunny Singapore, choosing and buying the right coat for chillier climates can be tricky. There are so many factors to consider &ndash; the style, warmth and length, to name just a few. But here, we&rsquo;ve rounded up some of the tips that we&rsquo;ve found useful when looking for the coat for you.

The Fabric

First and foremost, consider how warm you need to be in your coat. Are you heading somewhere with subzero temperatures, or even somewhere with snow? Depending on your holiday destination, you might need thicker materials such as wool and cashmere. You might even fancy a down jacket for extra padding against chilly winds, as adored by K-Pop idols. We especially love Tzuyu&rsquo;s taupe down puffer, which rests lightly on her frame without adding too much bulk.

The Style

It&rsquo;s also imperative to think about the right closure type for you. For places with just a slight chill, you might be able to get away with an open coat, meaning you have more flow and movement in your outfits. Lisa&rsquo;s longline open coat is a great example of just that. The coat brings her entire sleek outfit together and effortlessly elevates it. Otherwise, the classic trench look is always another option in the colder months. You can also consider opting for a button or zip closure should you need a tighter defence against intense colds.

The Colour

A signature black coat can do no wrong, but it helps to have options to choose from for different moods and fits. If you&rsquo;re adventurous enough, why not go for a bright red coat like Lee Hi? Statement coats definitely are an investment, and a true red one could be just the piece you need this winter. We love that Lee Hi&rsquo;s coat serves a vintage feel, especially with the floral appliqu&eacute; and oversized buttons. It&rsquo;s all about the details here.

The Length

Lastly, evaluate your holiday fits as a whole, so you can pick the right length for your coat. This is also the best time to figure out the length that can work for you. If the outfits you have planned tend to be top-heavy, then you can go for a coat that&rsquo;s more cropped, so you can retain some dimension in your silhouette. But if you&rsquo;re layering on top of pieces that are thinner and simple, a longer coat will create a more stylish look. Just like Tiffany from Girls&rsquo; Generation, don a trench on top of a classic white shirt for an outfit that&rsquo;s going to stand the test of time.
