A chic pea coat is one of the most timeless pieces you can have in your closet. Pea coats are forever a classic, as we’ve worn the same coats year after year from our teens through our twenties. They are perfectly preppy for Janie and Blair, and simple and versatile for my ever-changing style preferences. Best of all? It’s the one item that we KNOW our mom will be thrilled to see us wearing at holiday gatherings.

Though a black or navy pea coat is an absolute must for your wardrobe, I always love finding one in a pop of color to add some warmth to these chilly days. With the holidays around the corner, what better hue than a gorgeous red! I recently snagged this red pea coat at J Crew Factory – yes, Factory! If you haven’t shopped there yet, you are in for a treat! Apart from the fact that it coincides with Janie’s theory that red has a specific “standout” feature, the color takes any simple outfit from drab to fab.
