Chilly? 10 Winter coats to buy RIGHT NOW

Some frosty morning in the very near future, you will meet a friend for coffee. She will be wearing a fabulous faux fur trimmed parka, or a belted robe coat in cosy camel. You will immediately ask after her jacket and she will tell you, with a pitying smile, that she bought it months ago, when you were still schlepping about in flip flops. That's what stylish folk do, see. They get a jump on the rest of us by planning the coming season's wardrobe like a pro. When it comes to winter coats, this is a smart move. Because, well, Ireland: You'll be needing a coat daily for the next nine months. This year, get ahead of the fash mob and choose your coat early, you'll be needing it sooner than you think... 1. Amber Knitted Coat, €125, Oasis 2.
