Betsey Johnson White Coat

Burberry White Peacoat

Kenneth Cole White Peacoat

Banana Republic White Toggle Coat

These white coats will match beautifully with some fun shoes. Just imagine the white coat with some pink shoes or some fun gold shoes.

Gap Red Pea Coat
This first one is from Gap and like all things made there, it is fashionable, but timeless.  It is a double breasted wool coat with angled pockets on the sides.  It falls right below the waist and is a bit more fitted so it gives you a slimming look.  For $128, it is a pretty good deal, although I might wait until it goes on sale since many things there do.

Calvin Klein Red Peacoat
This next one is from Calvin Klein.  Simple and sleek like most Calvin Klein clothes, it is made of a wool, nylon and cashmere blend.  The fit is good although  it won’t be as tight,  but rather fit slightly more loosely around your body.  There are subtle pockets that don’t really stand out but just give the red jacket a simple effect.  You can buy it for $129.98 at Macy’s.

Ralph Lauren Christopher Pea Coat
This next one is more expensive because it’s made by Ralph Lauren.  It’s simply gorgeous though.  It’s made of a wool cashmere blend making it very soft and luxurious and warm.  It buttons all the way up and comes with a notch collar giving it a hard and soft look at the same time.  The buttons are logo-and-crown embossed and the look is divine.  It was originally $598, but is on sale for $449.

Burberry Peacoat

Finally, I’m showing you the Burberry peacoat.  You can’t seem to round out a set of great coats without showing one from Burberry.  This one is fantastic.  It’s traditional, classic, and the fit is great.  It’s an Italian  wool/cashmere blend with a full lining, clean simple pockets, and beautiful buttons.  It’s a bit pricier at $695, but for a designer pea coat, you can’t beat this one if you have the money to spend.

If you’ve seen any other red peacoat that you love, please share it with me!

This first one is from Collection 59 and is sold at Bloomindale’s for $236.  They call it an asymmetrical pea coat.  I love that it looks different than a traditional coat.  The flap that buttons further to the right is really slimming and flattering and gives you an empire waist.  For women who are flat chested, the empire waist accentuates your figure.   Plus, the single row of buttons makes you look slimmer.  If you have bigger boobs, you may want to stay away from this coat since the empire waist could make you look bigger than you are.

Bloomingdales Pea Coat

Check out this next one.  It’s from Juicy Couture and it is called their “Holiday” Wool Tweed Pea Coat.  It’s a little more expensive, approximately $398, but worth it for its comfort and durability.  I found this one at Bloomingdales as well.  What I love about this one is first off, the gorgeous color.  The off-white color is so cute to wear, especially during the winter when things are dull.  The tweed material is very comfortable.  It is double breasted, but like all of Juicy’s clothes, it is made to be fitted so you will look more slim.  It fits wonderfully and is so comfortable.  If I could buy 2 coats, this would be one of them and I would wear it with my strappy gold shoes.

This next one is a wool pea coat from Bebe.  It is short and falls at the top part of the waist.  I love the furry collar which feels comfortable and is very warm.  The collar can be removed when you’re going for a more casual look, although I would just keep it on all the time.  The buttons are super cute and are marbleized, giving them a shiny look and making them a good focal point on the jacket.  If you want something that is more trendy, check out this one.  It’s about $198.

Bebe Pea Coat

This next one is on sale for those looking for a cheap pea coat.  It’s originally $110, but now on sale for $80.  It caught my eye because it was fuschia, but they’ve also got it in a bunch of other great colors so you can buy your navy pea coat or your red pea coat.  This is one of the cheapest coats you will find and it is still pretty warm since it is a wool blend.  Check this out if you’re looking for something to throw on this winter and wear into the Spring with some fun Spring color shoes like tan or pink shoes.  I may just buy a green one for fun!

NY & Co. Wool Pea Coat

Finally, I am considering just buying the classic pea coat.  I found this one below at Banana Republic.  It’s $180 and comes in a beautiful heather grey.  It’s a classic cut with 2 pockets on the side for extra warmth for your hands.  It falls a little below your hips and buttons in the middle.  All in all, it is a very traditional look and I feel like I can wear it to the office or on weekends and it will look good everywhere.

Banana Republic Pea Coat

So, these are the ones I’m currently considering.  I’d love to buy all of them just to have different pea coats to choose from, but if I can only choose one, let me know which one you think I should choose.

First, the pea coat is almost always double breasted. For women, that is not a good thing, but for men, this is fantastic. Having a double breasted coat means that your chest will look broader. A broad chest with a small waist is the ideal silhouette so the more your clothes can improve on that look, the better.

Second, the pea coat is a very classic choice. It is usually not so long that it falls past your knees, but instead falls in the mid-thigh or upper thigh area. This makes the top half of your body look broader, while the bottom half is uncovered and can look thinner. The shape of the pea coat, the classic cut, and the classic color, all combine to make you look very well polished and put together. If you are trying to impress a woman or any women on the street, it is important to look like you have it together. You can do just that with a mens pea coat.

Third, the pea coat is actually very warm. It comes in wool or a wool blend and will keep you warm during the winter. Unlike the trench coat that usually doesn’t have lining nor is made out of wool, the pea coat is a great option to switch to during the really cold winter days.

Finally, the pea coat is a very easy item to accessorize. Throw on a red scarf or a brown knit hat and your winter outfit will be complete. It looks excellent over trousers, wool pants, jeans, and even just plain khakis. You won’t have to worry about matching it to your clothes since it naturally matches most clothes.

If you are a man looking for a winter coat, consider a mens pea coat as a great option to look classy and impress the ladies.

One of the first places I got to look for a great pea coat is J. Crew. J. Crew’s selection of winter coats is very vast. Here, you will find great coats of all lengths and colors. The coats will be updated for the season, but they will also last you for a very long time since they are never too trendy. Check out these fantastic pea coats that I found at J. Crew.

J. Crew Lavender Pea Coat

J. Crew White Pea Coat

That lavender color is fantastic, and you will see more and more purple items as that is the color of the season. The white one is just so clean. You can’t go wrong with white when matching them to your pants or skirts. The only thing to be aware of is that it can get dirty a lot faster. However, if you want to look cute, clean and stay warm, a white pea coat may be a great answer. You can get these pea coats for $220. Not a bad price for a coat you can wear for the next 5 years.

I also like to check out Nordstrom for some fantastic coats. They always have a large selection by many designers. Last I looked, I found all of these. That first coat by Miss Sixty in the green is fantastic and so cute!

If you want something a little more trendy, go with this fantastic blue coat by Guess. The royal blue color is so amazing and rich and the rounded collars make the coat a bit more feminine. The yellow one, also by Guess is pretty cool too. With the big collar and sleek lines, it stands out and is also fun to wear, especially on a cold, gray day.

Guess Yellow Pea Coat

I also like this next one by DKNY. In a bright red color with only one set of buttons, it is definitely more trendy. The shorter sleeves, the side collar and the rounded edges at the bottom all make for a very different look. If you want a nice wool coat, but don’t want to look the same as everyone else, consider this one.
