The Penneys coat that will get you through winter.

Winter mornings have officially returned and if you had to battle through this morning's barrage of heavy wind and rain, you'll know exactly what I mean. An umbrella is pretty useless in this situation as the wind has turned it inside out as soon as you step outside and a 'good coat' is key. You're probably familiar with the above term, coined by many an Irish Mammy and it basically means a useful, sturdy coat that will keep you dry and warm. Thankfully, parka style jackets are designed for just that and we have just spotted the perfect one in Penneys. Pockets, furry hood, a drawstring closure to keep out the cold and the good news is it's available in Penneys stores across the country. We don't have the exact price for this particular style but it's likely to retail around the €20/€25 mark which is a serious bargain for a piece you'll get so much wear from. It's the type of coat you'll grab when you're running out the door with minutes/seconds to spare and added bonus, it's super comfortable too. However, there might be days when you want to wear something other than a raincoat and we are loving this gorgeous camel coat. As you may be aware, outerwear in this stunning neutral shade is essential for every capsule wardrobe and an item like this pulls the rest of your look together, transforming a casual t-shirt and jeans into a stylish everyday ensemble. The Penneys jacket, together with the beige leather-look mini and ribbed top makes the whole outfit seem every luxe when really, it's very affordable. Prices start at €8 and we have a feeling you're about to see this look replicated multiple times over the coming fashion season.
