If you need an assist finding exactly the right coat to meet your 2015 coat season needs, check out the guide on the Farfetch.com website here.
So what made the Farfetch definitive coats of the 2015 coat season list?
This $13,140 multicoloured lama fur sleeveless coat from Marni
This is of course not the everyday girl’s winter coat. You probably won’t see too many lady’s walking by on the street where you live wearing this multicolor sleeveless fur coat. The $13,140 price tag is out of most 9-5 working girls’ budget.
But how pretty is it? It looks so soft and fluffy; but probably if we could afford it we wouldn’t buy it unless it was faux fur. And even then, faux fur can be mistaken for real fur. So unless you’re going to advertise on the front and back “This isn’t real fur so please don’t attack me for wearing it”, you might run the risk of getting stuff thrown at you depending on the circles in which you move.

This $5,990 Derek lam Red lambskin stylized trench coat
Much more affordable than the Marni multi-color sleeveless fur coat; but still a bit pricey for the average girl’s budget. We love this red leather trench coat from Derek Lam. It looks so opulent–like it’s worth every penny of that almost $6000 that it costs.
Features:
- Double breasted front fastening
- Notched lapels
- Long sleeves
- Belted waist

If you love a cape coat and military style clothing, this SACAI LUCK Khaki green wool military-style coat might just fit the bill. The price tag isn’t as daunting as the Marni fur coat or the Derek Lam leather trench coat.
