STYLE ADVICE: Standing Out in a Camel Coat

In the winter months, maintaining good style on a college campus is difficult. The long walks to class in the frigid cold make it hard to keep warm while looking stylish. At Notre Dame, the stereotypical outfit is leggings, bean boots, and a puffy coat. This Fashionista defies the norm in skinny jeans and a camel-colored fur coat. Standing out and having a unique look is the goal of every fashion girl and this outfit accomplishes it.

This shade of brown is one of the hottest colors right now and it is flattering on everyone. It gained popularity after Kanye West featured it in multiple Yeezy fashion shows. It’s been given names such as “the band-aid trend” and “the camel trend.” I remember first seeing it on celebrities like Kim Kardashian and immediately after, everyone was wearing it. I love how this Fashionista wears the color twice; monochrome is everything! The layering done in this look really elevates the entire outfit.

Wearing a fur coat is a genius hack to making anything you are wearing look fashionable. They make a big statement while keeping you extremely warm. Another great thing about a fur coat is that most people on campus won’t be wearing one so you will be sure to stand out. I like how this Fashionista paired this looser bomber jacket with a pair of tight jeans because it flatters her figure. A good style tip is to mix loose/statement pieces like this fur coat with tight basics like a sweater and jeans.
