As the weather gets colder and winter approaches, finding a jacket that is both warm and stylish can be difficult. This winter season, there is a new trend taking over that provides both — fuzzy teddy jackets. Many models and celebrities are showing off their trendy new coats. Plus, they have been featured in stores like Urban Outfitters, Madewell and Forever 21.
Teddy jackets come in a variety of colors and styles such as puffer, trench coat and pea coat. With the holidays around the corner, I was determined to find the perfect jacket. Luckily, I found a light brown teddy jacket that was long enough to keep me warm, but still a fashion statement. The teddy coat may seem overwhelming at first, but there’s no need to fret because this super chic style is the perfect piece for any outfit. If you’re wondering what you should pair with a teddy jacket, here are three fashionable ways to rock your new coat:
Over-the-knee boots:
If you’re searching for an outfit to keep you warm while still sporting the latest trends, pair your fuzzy jacket with a cream pullover sweater, dark wash jeans and over-the-knee boots. The jacket layered over the sweater will keep you toasty and stylish.
Leggings and slip-on sneakers:
If you’re running late for class on a cold morning, pair your favorite leggings with a black sweater, teddy jacket and a trendy pair of slip-on sneakers. For more warmth, add any style winter hat you have. You’ll be cozy while walking to class and fashion forward even when you take off the coat.
Ripped jeans and a graphic T-shirt:
On the days you’re feeling more edgy, throw on a graphic T-shirt from Anthropology or Forever 21 with your favorite ripped skinny jeans, booties and a teddy coat. You’ll look like you just stepped off the runway. The best part is for any of these looks, you don’t have to sacrifice warmth for style.
