As temperatures continue to drop outside (ugh), winter coats are becoming a necessity. However, as this Fashionista proves, coats do not have to be bulky and unflattering. In fact, they can be the perfect way to tie your winter look together. A great print, color or pattern spices up dreary and gray winter days.
The key to a great winter coat starts with the fit. A double-breasted, body skimming peacoat, like the one this Fashionista models, is so figure flattering and classic, while totally debunking the clunky coat myth. Next, pick a coat with an unexpected detail, like a print. A plaid print is bold, yet versatile enough to style in a variety of ways. Wear it over a dress for a funky evening wear look or wear it open over an oversized sweater and leggings for a fun and comfy look for class. Any way you wear it, you’ll be sure to turn heads as you walk through campus this winter. Bold colors and a mix of materials also make for eye-catching additions to your winter wardrobe.
This Fashionista chose to style her coat in a preppy and classic way, creating a polished yet casual winter wear look. She paired her fun coat with crisp jeans, a clean white sweater and winter boots from the popular brand, L.L.Bean. Her gold jewelry adds a unique touch to this posh look.
