It's not like there's a lack of choice for winter coats companies in Canada. There's so much to choose from that it becomes difficult to chose at all. Though, not all of them know how to stand out. Actually, I should say that not all of them are brave enough to dare. Why blend in when you can stand out from the crowd? This is how I would describe the new Nicole Benisti collection. In three words: comfort, personality and luxury. Tempting, right?

Audacious styles

I never thought a boxy parka could be so glamorous. This is the case of Nicole Benisti's most popular style, the Chelsea, which made a more than welcome comeback this year. A mid-length parka, boldly designed with a huge fur collar. This combination has made it a huge success, both comfortable and elegant. This is also the essence of the entire collection; minimalist but original, offering a perfect transition between day and evening looks. What better way to prove how glamorous this style is than having it chosen by none other than Jennifer Lopez ... oh yes!

Oh and did you know that the 2 new faces of the brands are the top models Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk!? One word: GORGEOUS!

What gives these coats their luxurious look is obviously their imposing fur collars. Not only do they keep you warm, they accessorize the whole jacket. Nothing to add! The lazy part of me likes that idea ... That is why most of the time, the jacket itself contains very few details; the piece de resistance gloriously rests on your shoulders! And for that matter ... why not dare colored fur ?? Imagine yourself standing out of the white winter decor with a ruby red or navy blue fur? Wow!

All I have to add is: this winter… be bold!
