The down filled coat gets a bad rap, but realistically in our Canadian winter, it is the perfect option for warding off the cold. Choosing down doesn’t mean you need start looking like the Michelin man. If you go with a style that is cut closer to the body and has a bit of flare, think feathers or fur trim, you will stay warm and still look good in the process!
