As the winter is on its way I wanted to post my favorite coat trends for winter 2009.

They are not surprising and continuing rebirth of 80’s style in spring/summer padded shoulders trend remains also in fall and winter. Also army theme stays, however disco style found its place also in military look making shoulders bolder and more exaggerated.

Classic stays – You can’t go wrong with black, white and gray. Classic trench coats with belts as accent.

However using so classic black and white, designers go mad about silhouettes – huge coats, capes and gowns, countless ruffles. Regular forms are outspoken with oversize sleeves and impressive cuffs and collars.

Knitwear is celebrating its victory. Knitted and bold details are not only warm, but also trendy this year.

Season’s feature is fur and leather – simple cuts and also daring. Fur is widely used for detailing (cuffs, collars and fur caps).
