Step outside your comfort zone
Winter coats have to be practical, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring! Instead of another plain black coat, make a statement with your next coat by embracing bold colors or patterns. After all, since your coat will likely cover most of your outfit, there’s no need to worry about matching. Faux fur, animal print, and bright colors like blue or green are a guaranteed way to brighten up any gray winter day!

Consider alterations
What’s the ” secret weapon” for a better-fitting coat? Alternations! If you’ve fallen in love with a winter coat, but it doesn’t fit perfectly, you may be able to have it tailored to your size and shape. Best of all, with the money you save by buying a winter coat at a thrift store, you might have a little extra to pay for those alterations! Another way to transform a thrift store winter coat is by replacing the buttons. New buttons will give your gently-loved jacket a fresh new look and improve the way it fits.
