When the temperature drops under 70’F degrees here in San Diego, it is time to wear a coat. I am not kidding. We are so spoiled with California weather! When I went to New York last December, OMG I really appreciated the fact that coats save your life and definitely are a must to survive extremely cold weather. It took me by surprise when I saw New York women everywhere wearing the most fashionable coats, so elegant and classy, I almost wanted to move to New York just to wear coats all the time, lol! Honestly, my long Mango wool coat was my survivor when walking the New York streets on the middle of December!
And then my engineering mind is asking me: How do coats and jackets keep us warm? Well, our body supplies the heat, and the material helps to trap body heat and keeps the heat from escaping into the air. For a fashionista it is important that they makes us looks good as well, therefore, here are 5 coats and jackets that will keep you warm meanwhile make you look amazing.
