Coats are not optional at the moment, and I'm absolutely okay with that.  It's that time where I completely surrender to mother nature, except only this year, I feel far more prepared with coats like this setting up shop in my closet.  Sure the ultramarine might be something far more adventurous than we're all used to, but the approach of pairing it with basic staples like sweatshirts, turtlenecks, tights, etc. make it appealing. When it comes to purchasing coats, I always look to buy one staple piece that I can wear with practically anything and a bold piece that will give my outfits that energy even on the dullest of days.
