Tips
Once you've narrowed down what type of coat you want, don't forget these helpful shopping hints.
* '''Choices''': Try on a few jackets before making your decision. Remember, you are going to be wearing this coat all winter, so you want to make sure it's something you like and that fits you well.
* '''Height''': When thinking about your height, it's helpful to narrow down jacket length. If you are shorter, a long coat may look ridiculous or too big on you, and if you are tall, an extremely tight fitting coat may look just a little bit too small.
* '''Budget''': Keep in mind that a quality winter jacket is not going to be cheap. The best idea is to shop around, since you can usually get a good idea of how much a decent coat is supposed to cost. To give you an idea, a reliable winter coat will run you in the $100-$150 range or sometimes more.
* '''Layering''': When trying on your jacket, leave a little bit of room and make sure it doesn't fit too tightly. You want to make sure that you can
zip up your jacket.
