Fred Flare at ShopStyle


Fred Flare is known for kitschy, one-of-a-kind gifts and accessories, but this season they are also serving up an impressive collection of affordable, fashion-forward coats. We all know that a great statement-making coat is a wardrobe essential for fall, and it's good to know you can find one without breaking the bank. (Need money for boots, after all.) Here are my some of my Fred Flare favorites, mostly under $100. The houndstooth beauty above is just $82!
