When it comes to winter clothing staying warm is the agenda of the season, without compromising on the fashion quotient. Gone are the days of the bulky trench’s and oversized coats. Powerful silhouettes with glamorous sophistication are the mantra for 2010 winter fashion. Influential styles from the 80’s make a comeback with chunky knits and strong shoulder patterns. Military trend ranks high on the fashion scale.

If you are looking for glamorous and chic garments that help you stay way warm then check out these top three ideas-

1. Women’s toggle coat

Brands like Garnet Hill go back to the classic faux-horn toggles. The concealed zippers front ensures easy wearability. The hood is a stylish and functional add on to keep your ears warm from the winter chill. The warm wool blend has patch pockets with flaps and button-tab sleeves to enhance the look. They fit gorgeously and comfortably with the princess seams, which provide a tailored shape.

2. Quilted duffle coat

Stylish quilt duffle coats are a must-have this season. The fashion runway is flooded with designs that are chunky. The women’s Jane Post quilted duffle coat has a fur trim that adds a luxe touch to its classic design. The eminently functional waterproofed coat has a hood for enhanced winter protection.

3. Trench coat

You can never go wrong with the evergreen trench. This season, head back to the French retro styles with a cinched waist. The shapely trench is wearable for both casual and formal wear. The belted look works great with trousers and skirts. Opt for classic neutrals or experiment with vivacious colors like red and rust.
