The Coats That Will Keep You Stylish & Warm This Winter

So you could say this is my coats edits - these types of coat/jacket are all you need to see you through Winter. Now that we are in November it's a great time to be talking about what's going to be keeping us warm for the next 5/6 months as the cold weather has now hit. Below I have the 3 different types bomber/parka/faux fur and my top 3 picks plus the one that I'm going to be wearing all Winter.

 

 So lets start with the bomber - it's the perfect transeasonal piece. It's perfect for now when you don't really need a full on coat but you can also just layer it up with knitwear when it does get super cold. The one I'm wearing is from Topshop and is £65 it has the softest/warmed faux fur lining. This has been one of my go to jackets for October and November so far.

Everybody should have a parka in their wardrobe because it's such a classic. Mine is from Topshop and is £70 - it's actually quite thin so I will definitely need to layer up with this one come the colder months but I was so drawn to the bright blue faux fur hood and thought it was really different. It will definitely see you through this Winter and many more Winter's to come.

I don't think you can get through the freezing cold winter without faux fur. It is so warm and so snuggly. My one is from ASOS and was £90. I've had it since my birthday in September and haven't really worn it that much yet as it hasn't really been the right weather for it especially because I spend a lot of my time on the Central line in the mornings - faux fur and the tube do not mix well!

 

I hope I've given you some coat inspiration!

I don't really mention much about my pugs on my blog, you sometimes see them occasionally pop into my outfit pictures, but if you follow me on Instagram it's a different story. I love these little guys! Albert the apricot pug is mine and Poppy the black pug is the family pug. 

It came to that time of year again where they needed new coats. I wanted a super cute pink fluffy one for a Poppy and a funky one for Albert, so I popped over to Pets at Home and lets say it was a struggle which is annoying as they do have some lovely bits.

The sizing on the ones I wanted to get were very awkward. Pugs apparently take a medium according to their size chart but they were enormous and hung over the back of them by at least 3 inches and the small wouldn't quite do up around their tubby tummys but were perfect in body length. The difference between the size was ridiculous. The medium seemed like a large with the difference from the small.

The only ones I could buy were the ones on the pugs below:

Nothing like the styles I wanted but never the less, they are very practical and the lining is so lovely and fleecey perfect to keep the little guys warm in this weather. 

Albert's is a super cute Barbour-esque coat with a collar and pockets, Poppy's not as cool but the reflective bit on the back is perfect as she's so hard to see when you walk her in the dark. There's also a little zip on the back which means  her harness can go underneath and the lead can clip to it through with the zip open. Also, the lining being so soft definitely makes up for it. The velcro going under the tummy on both coats means you can do it up as much as needed over the tummy which is much better suited for the pugs - well done Pets at Home!

Here are some snaps of the pugs on their morning walk wearing their coats:

                                

                                    
                                   
                                    
                                    

                               

I thought I would write this post as it's nice to have a bit of variety on the blog and I wanted to write about it incase people were having a similar issue with their dogs.

I would definitely recommend going to Pets at Home though as the clothing is very reasonably priced and they have some adorable bits - maybe it's just my pugs that are awkwardly sized!

Do you have any suggestions of places for dog clothing? I always find it dodgy ordering the clothes online for the pugs as you can't try it on them so it's good to hear from people what the sizing comes up like.
