Lately, Wisconsin’s weather has been sporadic with snow, clouds and the occasional sunny day. Nonetheless, the general tone of the campus’ weather has been dreary. Ultimately, this creates a fashion dilemma for Fashionistas and Fashionistos attempting to see beyond the gray skies in their own winter wardrobes. Despite the gloomy days, I was able to find this Fashionista with a plaid statement jacket that made her stand out on a snowy afternoon. The combination of the elements in her look is a visual explosion from her plaid coat down to her shoes and accessories. There is a way to add flavor on a winter day simply through a necessity: a statement jacket.
Not only did this Fashionista create a focus on the plaid jacket, but the combination with various accessories creates a balanced look. In addition to the zip-up jacket, she dons a pair of patent leather shoes and an arm party of bracelets while wearing a canvas hat. There are many details in this Fashionista’s look; however, I cannot take my eyes off her jacket’s boldness. Vibrant winter jackets, coats and trenches are a perfect way to brighten up any wardrobe given the winter weather in Wisconsin. While a plaid jacket is a fantastic idea to create this statement, it could vary in any loud color or pattern such as a geometric printed jacket, or an extra daring jacket with a combination of patterns.
How To: On the search for a new coat or jacket to survive the winter? Follow this Fashionista’s lead with a statement coat or jacket to keep warm, and make any day just a little brighter. For an extra bold look, combine a statement coat with contrasting accessories for a visual party.
