I have been looking for a stylist and machine washable winter coat/jacket. Something can be worn daily,fits well with jeans, pants, and skirts, and definitely not puffy. I narrowed down to choices shown below.

1. LE fleece swing coat in gray or camel

2. LE chalet duffle coat. I like one in dark camel but it is currently out of stock. Perhaps in light camel?

3. London Fog trench coat in stone

I live in NYC. So, I don't think it will be colder than 20F. Those four above should keep me warm. I just need to pick one. Any thoughts? Which one would you pick? If you have others you like, please let me know as well. TIA!

I like the second one - the faux shearling in dark camel. It seems to me the warmest, the most stylish and the most NYC of the coats, and definitely the one I would get for me. Good luck deciding! (And I hope the dark camel is back in stock - trying calling them because sometimes items are available in such small quantities that they don't list them online, but will sell them over the phone.)

I would vote for #1, although if I were you I might pick a longer one for NY. But I'm a Southern wuss....

Ok, so I like 1 and 2, but I'd personally get #1 because I'm pg and my other coats are getting uncomfortable to close (already, at 11 weeks!!! this is not right!). It looks like it would work for a bit of pregnancy if you think you may TTC again.

I like #1, but since I'm not tall and thin, I would just look pregnant in it. I like #2 best, but not in light camel. I think #3 would be the most versatile and timeless, but not espcially stylish, imo. I don't like #4 too much. Not sure if I was any help or not! Good luck!
