If you're struggling to commit to a new coat, here are the best winter coats for your star sign that you can shop now. It might sound a bit woo-woo, but some astrological assistance could help you sort the puffer coats from the camel coats, to find the best coat for you. Think about it.
Your star sign can dictate various character traits - practicality, creativity, discipline, passion - and can't those also be assigned to coats? A puffer is probably more suited to someone practical than passionate, wouldn't you say? While a patchwork coat, with its craftsmanship, immediately says 'creativity'.
Certain colours are also associated with certain signs. As a fire sign, Aries naturally might feel empowered in a red coat. Cancer, on the other hand, might prefer something much softer like a pastel hue. In the same way, an earth sign might be on the lookout for something more pragmatic, while a fire sign is out to make a statement.
Consulting the stars to find your new winter coat is one way to find a new winter coat. However, if you care nothing for celestial direction or which planet is in retrograde - and you're just after a camel coat - at least you can look at 12 pretty great coats.

Can My Moon Sign Or Rising Sign Influence My Outfit Choices?
When we think of our horoscope, we often think of our sun sign as having the most influence. However, while our moon sign may not have a lot of sway over the winter coats we choose to wear, our rising sign can. The rising sign, or ascendant sign, governs our outward appearances. It makes sense that the position of the ascendant sign within the chart might influence the choice of designer coat we put on. Venus also has a lot of pull, as this is the sign that rules aesthetics. If you're not drawn to our choice of winter coats for your star sign, check your rising or Venus sign instead of your sun.
What To Consider When Selecting The Best Winter Coat?
It's not just style, you'll, of course, want something that's going to keep you warm through the winter. A scarf jacket combines both style and functionality, making it one you'll get your wear out of. Consider transitional pieces that might see you into the spring, or evergreen coats that you can wear all year round.
If, like Scorpio, a leather trench coat speaks to you, these can make the best transitional coats to see you into autumn.
