Where can I find a teal winter dress coat?

[eks6426]

I saw a What Not To Wear episode with a woman who has very similar coloring to me. She bought a darker teal winter coat that just looked fabulous on her. But I''ve never seen dark teal as an option in anything but a ski coat.

Any ideas?

Hi!! I just took DD who''s in college coat shopping earlier this week, and didn''t see any teal coats. She was looking for a nice brown dress coat. We went to Bloomies, Nordstroms and Lord and Taylors. I think it may be a hard color to find??

Sounds like a fabulous color for a coat!

Do you have a Burlington Coat Factory near you? That may be your best bet.

It is a tough color to find, but I bet it''s fabulous! I used to have a purple pea coat and I loved it!

I did a froogle search and came up with a few hits... not sure if any of them are right for you but thought it was worth a shot:

Is this kind of what you are looking for? This one is by Via Spiga from Bluefly. I think the color is very pretty. They call it aquamarine. It's $270, which isn't too bad for a good winter coat.

great finds!
that coat looks fab qtiekiki!

Thank you everyone for your coat suggestions. I really like the Via Spiga (thanks Qtiekki) one although it is on the high end for me. Some of the ones you found Sumbride are great too. Now, I need to figure out whether my allergic reaction to wool as died down enough that I can wear a wool winter coat.


So, it looks like aquamarine or teal would work so if anyone knows of others let me know. I prefer single breasted coats rather than double breasted.

How about posting this question on the fashion board at www.makeupalley.com? Those girls seem to know everything about fashion and where to find things.

This one from ebay might work.

Or this one. It's on sale for $58.99 from VS.

Don''t know how much you were looking to spend, but I found this.
