Manhattan Coat by Nanette Lepore

We realize it's almost impossible to think about winter coats while it's 90 degrees outside, but we think you'll try once you get a look at the Manhattan Coat by Nanette Lepore
. This tweed coat has an off center button at the front, an oversized fold-over collar, pleating at the waist, welt pockets at the hip, three inch cuffs at the long sleeves and is lined. It is sure to be a staple in your winter closet, so jump on it now while you can! Winter and snow will be here before you know it!

Jarmon Jacket by BB Dakota

The Shirt Snob has found her new favorite jacket! The Jarmon Jacket by BB Dakota is a beautiful indigo blue with short puff sleeves, a hood, front pockets, four buttons down the front, and a removable belt at the waist. It has a slim fit too so it's quite flattering. It's also 100% cotton, so it's not too heavy. Perfect for an air conditioned office!

French Army Jacket in Wood by LaROK

We've always been fond of army looks, but it's hard to find ones that don't make one look too masculine. Well, we've discovered the French Army Jacket in Wood by LaROK
, which is a very feminine take on the army look. This jacket has two button front closures at the bust and two more at the body, a belt at the natural waist that adjusts at the back, short sleeves with gold cuffs at the buttons, and a button closure at the front.

Safari Blazer by Iisli

The Shirt Snob has always had a thing for the single button below the bust look. We fell in love with it in high school, and we would wear this look every day if we could. The Safari Blazer by Iisli
has that single button, but there's also patch pockets at the front, slits at the cuffs, long sleeves, a notched collar, and it is semi-sheer. It's a great blazer for the warm summer months.

Aster Double Knit Jacket by Marc by Marc Jacobs

What first drew us to the Aster Double Knit Jacket by Marc by Marc Jacobs
was the acorn brown color, which is one of our favorites. It has rickrack trim throughout, striped flap detail at the front welt pockets, striped inset at the cuffs, striped lining, long sleeves, and two vents at the back. This jacket would be stylish way for you to stay warm in those cold, air conditioned rooms this summer.

Lidia Jacket by Theory
If you only buy one jacket in the next year, we think the Lidia Jacket by Theory
is a good choice. It's so simple and elegant and can be paired with so much. We just love its versatility! It has a scoop neck, gathered elastic banding at the waist, a hidden snap closure at the front, 3/4 length sleeve, and is lined.

Funnel Neck Coat by Chulo Pony
We think that a red coat is fun and every woman should have one to spice up their outfits and make a splash when entering the room. The Funnel Neck Coat by Chulo Pony has an orange tinge, so it works great during the fall too. This coat has a waffled texture, a snap funnel neck, matching buttons down the front, front pockets, bell sleevves with foldover and pleating details, a pleated skirt in the back, and a matching built in belt. It's also lined and made from a wool, lambs wool, cashmere, and nylon mix. It's also available in white.

Solid Wool Felt Coat by Marc by Marc Jacobs
Here's our favorite peacoat of the year! The Solid Wool Felt Coat by Marc by Marc Jacobs
is a double breasted felt coat with vertical pockets at the front, six buttons down the front, a notched collar, storm flap at the back, and long sleeves. It's also lined. We love the blue fox color since it's different than every other coat out there, but washed ink melange is nice too.
Deliver Coat at French Connection
If you want something retro looking, there's the Deliver Coat at French Connection. This 50's style coat is very loose fitting with two side pockets, a concealed button placket at the front, ribbed collar, and a single button at the neck. It's made of a wool and acrylic mix.

Black Tie Jacket by Nanette Lepore
Nanette Lepore makes the most elegant pieces! If you are interested in a simple black coat, you should really consider her Black Tie Jacket
. It has a double breasted button front, pleating throughout, hidden pockets at the side seams, a rounded collar at the low neck, long sleeves, and is fully lined.
Belted Car Coat by Milly
Our loyal readers have probably noticed that we don't show animal prints here at Shirt Snob. Honestly, we don't really like them. We are going to today though, possibly for the first time because the print on the Belted Car Coat by Milly is gorgeous and not too animally for us. It has oversized black buttons, a removable belt, and two front pockets. It's also 100% wool and is lined.
Maryanne Coat at rebe
Next up is another rebe find. The Maryanne Coat has a fold over collar, a single button at the empire waist, long sleeves, and comes down to mid-thigh. It's also made out of recycled cotton fiber and is available in artichoke, black, iris, mahogany, persimmon, and tangerine.

White is not just for summer anymore, which is good for us because we adore the Frayed Pocket Coat by Miss Davenporte
. This canvas coat has a fold over collar, tie at the waist, five snap closures at the front, snap flap pockets with frayed edges at the hips, storm flap and inverted pleat at the back, long sleeves, and a silk print lining.
