Thursday Trend: Toggle Jackets

01/10/13 | Burberry, Michael Kors, Thursday Trend

Speaking on the phone Tuesday night with one of my good friends in Utah I guess I can not complain that it is “cold” here when cold in the Rockies that means negative temperatures,  but these thirty degree mornings in New York City are getting to me. I find myself bundling every morning and while I power walk to work I have been noticing tons of adorable toggle jackets.  Over the past month I have seen them in almost every color and material imaginable and I have fallen in love with the look! I have tried on at least a dozen and have searched long and hard to find you my favorites:

New Look Navy Cable Knit Toggle Hooded Cape 

Monsoon Bibi Duffle Coat 

Madewell Lucky Duffle Toggle Coat 

Burberry Brit Camel Minstead Duffle Coat 

Michael Michael Kors Wool-Blend Toggle-Button Pea Coat

These five jackets are my top picks but how you style them is up to you but I really suggest keeping it simple.  The first thing about toggle coats is simplicity – the toggles should be the part that stands out – I think the outerwear pieces work best with a neutral bottoms and a detailed top  which creates a polished look both on the sidewalk and in the office (or date night or the playground or church or drinks).

I think they really are one of the few winter coats that are functional and fashionable – you can show off your curves while insulating them.  Who says you can’t be warm AND stylish?

    These are great. The Burberry is my favorite here, but that Michael Kors is running a super close second!

    Great selection of jackets here. Love toggles – they’re usually fairly easy to close, which is nice and low maintenance. My best friend got one from banana republic in high school, and I was insanely jealous.

    I’m a super big fan of the Burberry Brit Camel Minstead Duffle Coat …obviously. Of course the totally unaffordable one is my favorite. Love tehse kinds of posts where you acquire the best of the best of a certain item. Well done!

    Toggle coats are soo cute, but I don’t think I can justify buying another winter coat this year haha. It’s supposed to be in the 70s from now until next week so I don’t think I’ll be needing one 😉
