Pea Coat Paradise

Every era has its fashion classics, yet few have proved as versatile as the pea coat. The pea coat has graced movie screens, catwalks and wardrobes, lending us a luxe 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 an outfit like a well-chosen coat. It's a statement piece that adds cohesion and personality. This season's 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 pea coat will always offer dependable stability with its goes-with-everything approach, this season's coats enjoy a little bit more drama in sporting 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 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 and full skirts. These 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 world of fashionista bliss, making it must-have for any winter wardrobe.
