Winter season is fast approaching and it’s time to start stocking up on winter coats and starting rotating the autumn trench coats and varsity jackets to the back of the wardrobe.
A coat is a key to winter layering when it comes to styling yourself and keeping warm at the same time. At this time, you’ve probably had them in camel, black, beige, navy e.t.c. which are usually the classic ones we go for when it comes to putting your winter capsule wardrobe together.
The truth is, they can’t still remain in the state you had them seasons back, they’re most likely ready for an update, and thanks to many designers and high street brands who have put their creativity into adding various takes to this must-have fashion staple. Prada, for example, added shearling details on the sleeves, while Valentino went for a full barbie aesthetic, Mango, on the other hand, stuck with the classic designs not forgetting Maxa Mara’s belted versions and Toteme’s scarf-embedded designs.
Coats are outerwear garments that are typically worn by a woman or a man, usually for extra warmth but nowadays can be worn to make a fashion statement when the right fabrics are put together. They have a midi-length design with long sleeves and most of the time made with wool to form a part of winter layering.
Coats can easily be styled with a pair of good pointy-toe boots either at ankle length or thigh-high for work days, with a pair of sneakers on casual days, or a pair of pumps for special occasions.
Coats are so classic and can be a ‘wear forever’ fashion pieces everyone must have in the winter season, which is why your buying habit is very important when shopping, I will advise investing in at least two, a designer option for special occasions and a high street brand version for work and casual days.
