In Finnish latitudes, a winter jacket is one of the most important pieces of clothing. You should pay special attention to the purchase of a weatherproof, high-quality and especially warm winter coat.

REMEMBER
Consider these things when buying a winter jacket:
1. Intended use: Are you looking for a jacket for everyday casual use, a cooler model for city use or a refreshing, festive option? Do you sit a lot in the car or on public transport? Do you go outside with your dog or children every day? Think about what kind of use the winter coat must be used for.
2. The right size: Do you want a close-fitting winter coat or a loose and more relaxed model that can fit under, for example, several layers of knitwear or a formal suit jacket or blazer that is part of your job description? Always fit a winter jacket over a sweater in the store, because a model that is too tight is not comfortable to wear and a jacket in which you cannot move often goes unused.
3. Model sizing and hem length: Does a shorter or longer model work for you? Long winter coats are warmer, while knee-length and short models make it easier to move.
4. Color and pattern selection: Classic black never goes out of fashion and is worn year after year. Other classic shades such as grey, beige and dark blue are also timeless options. Instead, light jackets are stylish variants that are suitable for brightening up otherwise dark, winter outfits. A colorful jacket in your favorite color or pattern is the easiest way to cheer yourself up and your fellow travelers during the sometimes dreary winter months, and that’s why you should really consider it.
We already wrote earlier which jacket trends you should keep an eye on this winter season.
