4 Coat Styles Everyone Should Own at Every Budget
It's time to bundle up.
Not to toot my own sartorial horn, but I’ve got a pretty great outerwear collection. Over the years, I've reflected on what works in my wardrobe; inspected my shopping habits regarding what I gravitate toward and in turn really wear; and considered what makes a good coat for me. I also shop for coats throughout the year, whether it’s 80 degrees or 30 degrees outside. There’s no waiting until we’re “in season” to make the purchase over here.
As such, it’s not surprising that this newsletter comes as a special request from some pals in need of coat advice. And I’m happy to share it! This send is chock-full of options at incredible price points.
Black Coats That Aren’t Boring
The headline says it all. Everyone could use a black coat in their closet, but it doesn’t have to be a snooze. The trick is to find one that has a little extra something to it, whether that’s a pattern, an interesting shape, or a built-in scarf.
Coats You Can Layer Over a Blazer
This edit comes via special request and is so genius. My tip for finding a coat that you can wear over a blazer is to choose a car coat shape (a little roomier with wider sleeves) and be mindful of material. It doesn’t have to be that heavy since you’ll basically wear another coat underneath it.
Coats That Are the Entire Look
A dramatic coat, whether in color or shape, will handle all the heavy lifting for your outfit when the best you can do underneath is jeans and a turtleneck.
Elegant Coats to Give Off a Rich-Woman Vibe
I mean, who doesn’t want to look polished and chic and well…expensive?! Enough said!
