Coats that make big statements and set you apart from the rest of the bundled masses are important this season. Look for princess seams, A-line silhouettes, mod buttons, double-breasted styles, bold colors and prints. Don’t have the money to spend on something new? Think about jazzing up last year’s coat with a colorful scarf or a fun pair of red leather gloves. Here’s a look at what’s new for winter.

1. Princess and the pea. The pea coat, a longtime favorite with college students and sailors, gets a new look this year. It’s shorter and swingier than its classic counterpart. And this one has princess seams! Lightweight wool. $78 at Old Navy. www.oldnavy.com

2. Think Mink. You’ll never go wrong with mink. It’s warm. It’s beautiful. It will make you feel like a princess. If you’re opposed to fur, don’t buy one. If you aren’t, think about going for the gold! Golden tones like those in this whiskey mink coat are popular right now. $14,250 at Dittrich Furs, www.dittrichfurs.com

3. Zany Zebra. This double-breasted animal print-inspired coat with inset and a slight A-line is stunning. Its name? Spy. It’s from singer Gwen Stefani’s line, L.A.M.B. $685 at Nordstrom, www.nordstrom.com

4. Baby doll blue. You’ll look like a real doll in this double-breasted boiled wool baby doll-style coat with bracelet-length – invest in a pair of this season’s new long gloves – bell-shaped sleeves. $298, $328 for plus sizes at Lord & Taylor. www.lordandtaylor.com

5. Terrific trench. There’s no need to settle for a boring tan trench coat. This season, the coats are available in a number of patterns and fabrics. This rich, dressy, satin trench would be perfect over your little black dress. $198 at Banana Republic. www.bananarepublic.com
