The Budget Babe: Grey Coats

By The Budget Babe • Jan 21st, 2009 • Category: Juicy Story, Style   

In a new feature exclusively for TSM, The Budget Babe spreads her “fab-without-a-fortune” philosophy. Our new budget style correspondent picks her favorite high-style trends and then scours out chic, quality items at affordable prices. Her fabulous finds will leave even the most hardcore fashionistas impressed! Here, the BB shares her grey winter coat picks.

It might be cold and gloomy outside, but the color grey is anything but dreary when it comes to fashion. Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz, and Eva Longoria-Parker show that grey can be a chic alternative to black. This kinder, gentler neutral works famously with all skintones and lends a modern look to a classic peacoat or capelet. With all the incredible mid-winter sales going on, now’s the perfect time to pick up your own grey coat on a dime. Here are 6 budget-friendly finds, all under $100!

[1] Cody Belted Peacoat, $60.50 at Delias.com

[2] Classic Fit Wool Peacoat, $79.99 at EddieBauer.com

[3] Cashmere Blend Swingcoat, $99.99 at Spiegel.com

[4] Apostrophe Plaid Cape Topper, $29.99 at Sears.com

[5] Antonio Melani Belted Coat, $84.90 at Dillards.com

[6] Brenna Hooded Wool Coat, $37.80 at Forever21.com

    I’m sewing my own grey wool/cashmere coat now– this is the kind of inspiration I need to keep motivated!

    I think Kim’s wearing a Jay Godfrey stretch tweed cape, but it’s sold out at NeimanMarcus.com:
