I’m rather particular and somewhat picky when it comes to buying outerwear. I actually used to avoid shopping for coats simply because they tend to be so expensive! While I’d be the first to admit they are a necessary wardrobe staple (I’m always cold), it’s just sometimes difficult to justify those big purchases, especially if you don’t want to wear just one style all season long. So, as you can imagine, when Lands’ End reached out asking me to pick out a coat, I was overjoyed! Lands’ End is based in frosty Wisconsin, so you know they have the right goods. I was in need of a classic short peacoat style (can you believe I didn’t already have one?), and spotted this one on the website and fell for it instantly. This coat feels like a million freaking bucks! I’m not even kidding. It’s incredibly soft and the fit is just perfection – I’d almost compare it to cashmere. This coat comes in a variety of colors, but the creamy caramel-y hue stood out. As you can see from these photos, this coat does not look inexpensive – but you’d be happily mistaken! It’s just under $180. If you live up north and need something a bit heavier, try the insulated version of this coat!
A few other styles I have to share and would love to try out next include this luxe metallic down puffer vest (only $59!), this tulip-hemmed puffer for ski trips, and this gorgeous bottle green double breasted coat. Looking for more color? This classic style is available in bright red and grape! Click here to check out and shop the Lands’ End collection – you can thank me later. ;)

The collar on that dress is just gorgeous! I have a long puffer LE coat that I wear to football games throughout the season (and on seriously cold days) that I couldn’t live without!
I love this look! You look so pretty!

So incredibly classy! An LBD, camel coat and a pop of leopard is the epitome of elegance. Doesn’t get any better than this.

Great post Merritt. What size are you wearing in this post? I’m ordering and we appear to be a similar size. Want to make sure I get it right. xx
Hey Steph! I ordered the size 8 Tall (I love my coats long and I like to make sure I can wear bulky sweaters under all my coats)!
Hope that helps!! :)
Gorgeous! Nothing like black and camel! Loving the details on the dress, beautiful!
This dress is stunning on you! It fits you perfectly. I love how you paired it with than. I am so into that color combo for this season.

STUNNING! All of these pieces are perfect —- the camel coat, your belt, the dress and that gold clutch, YES!
This is a beautiful color combo! I love the black and camel, but the addition of gold and leopard is perfect! You always know the best way to accessorize!
