If you live in the Nashville area, you know that last week we went from spring to snow almost overnight! So in honor of the cold coming back to haunt us, we’ve decided to put together a winter styling series. We will take you through how to stay warm and stylish with a few of our favorite pieces for winter. First up, the ever so necessary coat! Whether you’re having a casual day of running errands, a night out with the girls, or a business luncheon, you will need one of these! Below are some of our favorite ways to style coats for every occasion!
Casual/Everyday Coats
When choosing a casual puffer, try and find one that will accentuate your waist. That will help eliminate feeling like a marshmallow. Faux fur accents are always warm and chic.
Don’t let your New Year’s resolution go yet. When leaving the gym, keep the leggings and add an oversized tee and coat. This casual look is perfect for afternoon errand running.
Plaid is the perfect way to add color to a basic winter outfit. Look for a coat that will make a statement! Statement pieces are one of the easiest ways to look stylish when you are in a rush.
Who wouldn’t want to be wrapped up in this? Again, when opting for a fuller coat, make sure to accentuate your waist and keep your shape! If you are going for a fuller coat, stick with a skinny ankle pant. Depending on the occasion this may be a denim, a tuxedo pant or even a little silk pant.
Coats to Dress Up
Choosing a khaki or green tone is a great way to rock the military inspired trend. It will add a little edge to your look with out going to over-the-top. Pair this coat with an all black look to really make it pop!
A tailored coat is always going to be appropriate and chic. Choosing a lighter color, such as blush or camel, will really lighten up your look! This classic silhouette pairs just as nicely with a dress as it does with pants.
Mixing neutrals is a great way to spin the ‘classic black coat’. The contrast and structure of this coat lends itself to be paired with your favorite lbd for a night out with the girls, or your man! Although, we don’t promise he will notice the lovely contrast on your coat.
Tweed and plaid are two of our winter obsessions! In these cold months, an all black or very neutral outfit can become very repetitive. Tweed is the perfect way to add some texture and excitement to your look! Again, a coat that makes a statement is always a good idea.
If you read this and thought, I need that coat, now is the perfect time to get it! With spring collections starting to appear in stores, stores are marking down their coats daily. We would love to help you find the coat you have been dreaming about! Contact us today for help choosing the service that best fits your needs.
