8 Belted Wool Coats Under $200

Posted by Cathy | Tuesday October 12, 2010

Winter can get pretty unbearable if you aren't dressed warmly, but we shudder at the thought of looking like the Michelin Man for the next few months.

We hunted and found 8 totally trendy belted wool coats to keep you completely cozy without the style sacrifice. And the best part: they are all under $200.

Zara Checked Woollen Coat with Belt $159, Jessica Simpson Blake Oversized Collar Coat $124.99

Wool coats are completely timeless. This year, pair your favourite scarf with a print or a bright colour for instant chic.

Target Merona Collection Couture Robe Wool Coat $69.99, Topshop Girly Ribbon Tie Coat $160, Calvin Klein Metlon Stand Collar Coat $149.99

A belted wrap coat adds sophistication and the "cool" factor to any outfit. Our fave from Topshop has a fantastic ribbon tie around the waist.

On that note, if you own an unbelted wool coat, accentuate your curves by wrapping a long, thick ribbon twice around your waist and tie a bow at the front. Et voila!

Jones New York Stand Collar Seamed Hem Coat $199.99, Victoria's Secret Wool Trenchcoat $129, GUESS Belted Wool Coat $168

Double breasted wool coats can be worn with anything. We're loving the high collars Jones New York and Guess feature - sorta Janet Jackson in Rhythm Nation, agreed?

Are you wearing a belted wool coat? Which of these would you try?

We have located new listings for both that are better deals, but neither is below the $200 price point right now. The good news is that there will be sales again :) For now, the coat links you mentioned have both been updated here.

I adore the Topshop coat but have the same concerns as mamaluv above! My other question is...for the Calvin Klein Coat-where would I find that? Or how would I go about finding a store that carries that coat? They are all nice coats-and even though I am not a fashion model, most of them still look quite good on (even if you aren't size 0) Thanks for writing this-now I have some direction! Let the shopping commence!

I love the silhouette though, so I'd look for something similar - perhaps with a reinforced ribbon sash. Liking the gray Jones New York also!
