Statement Coat


Since our coats tend to cover up the majority of our outfits in the cold months, I think a good looking topper is key to remaining stylish. Even if you can only have one coat, I think you can get just as much wear out of a bolder choice as you can from a "safe" one. I'm particularly excited about this new piece, because the shape and colour are both classic enough to stand the test of time, but the oversized collar and great details make it a true statement piece.




Wearing: Elie Tahari coat, J.Crew sweater (similar), ASOS dress (worn as skirt), BCBG necklace and ring, Zara shoes, Michael Kors sunnies

    Gorgeous, I love the colour too! And I always love coats with hoods :P How is it for warmth? I agree about having a beautiful coat, it makes sense as we wear it so often but sometimes it's hard to find a pretty coat that's practical too!

  3. Oh Jen, that coat! It's beyond stunning; I particularly love the bordeaux shade, but the bow closure and oversized collar are the perfect classic and yet standout details. I can't wait to see this styled again and again - it's such a gem :) Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

  26. That's a really lovely colour that definitely makes a strong statement– I definitely like it better than if the same coat had been in black. Also– the design....love that there's a hood included that doesn't have an awkward fur trim. Looking forward to seeing this coat appear more in your outfit photographs! Have a great week!

  27. The colour of the jacket is amazing. Other than that, I wasn't too impressed... until I saw that collar/hood! Hidden details like that make a huge difference.
