As we continue into one of the coldest winter months of the year, the need for a reliable, warm winter coat has become more pressing than ever. The parka trend has been out there for several weeks now, even making an appearance on high fashion runways like Vetements. More recently, the demand for Canada Goose products has been steadily growing as the temperature drops. However, a price tag of $500 or more is not always easy to swing, especially around this time of year. Luckily, there is an abundance of options at a variety of price points sure to get you through the winter.
Land’s End offers several parkas ranging in style and price, but be sure to check out its Insulated Casual Parka, which is perfect for everyday use. It’s available in three colors, is priced at $129, and even comes in tall, petite, and plus sizes. Similarly, Woolrich is always a reliable brand for outerwear and similarly, outdoor gear. Also great for casual wear is their Keepsake Quilted Insulated Parka, priced at $165. For a more upscale look, perfect for a cold night out, look for Calvin Klein’s Faux Fur Trim Down Puffer Coat, priced at $139, and available at Macy’s. Click through the above slideshow to see all of our top picks for the best winter coat bets.

On my trip out west to New Mexico, it felt natural to wear my new Levi‘s, since the brand has been doing good old classic blue jeans and western wear since…well…way before my time! I’m a boyfriend jeans girl, so when asked by Levi’s to pick out a courtesy pair from the new collection, I had no doubt in my mind what style I was going to indulge in. I’m sure you’ve heard of the classic 501 style by Levi’s, a silhouette that as of late, has been worn by fashion editors and stylish guys alike, but it’s been reborn for a versatile, modern fit with the 501CT (also available for both men and women).
The new style is straighter at the waist, smaller in the behind, and features a slightly more taken in inseam. The interesting thing about it is that the sizing is…totally up to you! Stick to your usual size for a big of baggy, go up one or two sizes for extra bagginess, or down one or two for a fitted look. I stuck pretty true to size, since I love the roominess of a boyfriend jean; it’s effortless without even trying. I loved the style so much that I promptly whipped out my credit card to spring for a second pair in a different wash.
If you like Levi’s but are not a boyfriend jeans person, try the new 700 series of super skinny jeans that have great stretch and a seamless look.

Levi’s, who hosted its first global fashion show in Soho, presenting some items from its global line, emphasizing the concept of craftsmanship, honesty and authenticity. Fashion wise, the company is certainly defying the convention by thinking beyond traditional blue jeans; models were wearing a plethora of denim combinations in new coated treatments, military or hunting- inspired outerwear, and khakis.
Shown was a mix of male and female models, showcasing tapered pants and reinvented boot cut skinny jeans, respectively, as the key concepts. The males’ rugged, workwear look was occasionally balanced with stiff, raw denim and a khaki trench. Women wore flannels, white button-down shirts shown with a coated A-line skirt, oversized glasses and denim maxi skirts. With a versatile polished hipster look, gray jackets, bikes and red pants, models bridged the gap between casual and professional style for the 21st century.

Levi’s Spring/Summer 2012 Water, Earth, and Wind Campaign harks back to classical elements, elements that all speak the same language.
At the collection preview, beyond the season’s latest clothing, we also received a message of sustainability and renewal. Levi’s continues to drive profit through solid principles; the brand alone has saved 156 million liters of water around the world, or 60 million days of drinking water for communities in need, simply by producing “Waterless” jeans.
Now back to the clothes:Denim at Levi’s for the new season was mainly skinny; a tapered straight leg, but there were still some flares on occasion. Beyond the denim (blue and colored) there were crafty, effortless dresses, vibrant shorts and cropped tops for the girls.
My favorite jean is the Curve ID (find your perfect fit here), a concept that celebrates fit by addressing a diverse range of body types. The fits include Slight, Demi, Bold, Supreme and Ankle Skinny. The final, Ankle Skinny, is the newest innovation in Curve ID with a hip shorter length.
