Look to longer coats for a chic winter style

Even though the spring and summer fashion seasons ended only recently, it is time to begin thinking about trends for the fall and winter.

The 2015 fall and winter fashion shows were some of the best. They featured clothes gracefully decorated with fur, new takes on the elegant slip dress but most importantly: the floor-duster coat.

The name describes this coat at its extreme — the coat is so long it “dusts” the floor as you walk. Taking practicality into account, however, designers have fashioned this coat so that it varies between floor and knee length.

Featured in the shows of some of the most impressive fashion houses such as Chanel, Christian Dior and Chloe, this look became an instant must-have.
