Update Your Fall/Winter Outerwear Situation with a Chic Coat at a Cozy Price from Burlington Coat Factory, Chadwick's or Eddie Bauer
...ooh, baby it's cold out there!
BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY
“Clearly the shorter length leads the way in wool coats, with trends including the updated pea coat, trench, swing and military-influenced styles,” notes Jason Somerfeld, Burlington Coat Factory’s vice president of fashion and branding, about the trend toward more cropped styles for work & play. “Shorter lengths work for just about every occasion, from the workplace to the stadium. Short wool coats are also being worn over dresses, replacing the bulky long wool coat. Anoraks are even considered a perfect choice over casual dresses.”
This season, they've stocked up on military coats embellished with oversized buttons, knit collars and epaulets, swing coats in classic houndstooth patterns (fab with a skinny pant), Pea coats — with and without hoods — in double-breasted styles, and updated belted trench coats in classic tweed and hues like black, charcoal & chocolate. They also carry a full range of sizes - including petite & plus - and name brands, with an average of at least 5,000 coats per store.
To help others, make sure to donate your old coat to their national coat drive which is underway until November 11. More info & location info at BurlingtonCoatFactory.com.
