Winter Jackets that will Toggle the Mind

No. You don't have to wear a snowmobiling jacket to stay warm this winter. There are definitely stylish solutions out there. Yes, of course you want to stay warm, as do I. That doesn't mean you have to compromise style for function. You can have both, but you gotta look. Lucky for you, I did that. Here are a couple jackets that I've been eying lately....I guess I'm on a toggle bender right now...you'll see.

Here we have Banana Republics Heritage Toggle Coat in what they're calling a Camel color. My opinion is its green. Regardless, this is a traditionally styled coat with simple clean lines. They offer this coat in a black as well, and I'd say most people lean on getting a darker color for the winter normally, but I think green is absolutely ideal for winter months. You can very easily go from wearing brown boots, belt, etc to a pair of black boots, belt, etc with no clash. Green is a multipurpose/neutral color foundation to build from for almost any outfit. Go green this year and expand your outfit options.

Here we have an incredibly stylish Paddington coat by Corpus. This is the more classic color (black) that offers a wide collar with hood, in a tough wool blend with kick ass leather belt-esque toggle closures (adjustable). The lining inside is a attractive contrasting plaid along with welt pockets. Also, there is a removable zipper hood. I will say that the back of the jacket is slightly boring so if I were to get this jacket, I would definitely consider going to a tailor and putting a back slit in. There are tons of pictures at the site for a further look. This jacket has that great classic look with it's updated leather toggles. You'll stand out with this fashionable coat in the winter time when most are buried under boring trenches and mountain climbing gear.
