Winter Styling Tips: Coats

January 29, 2022 By Nicole Jacobs 3 Comments

If you live in the Nashville area, you know that we were basically experiencing spring throughout the month of December….  And then abruptly went to several snow storms in a row and frigid temps for the forseeable future (OK, Chicago followers, don’t laugh at us hah).  The true arrival of winter has one of our favorite accessories top of the mind….  You guessed it, winter coats!  

In today’s post, we are going to take a look at some of our favorite winter coats.  Whether you’re having a casual day of running errands, a night out with the girls, or a business luncheon, you will need one….  Well, who are we kidding, MORE than one, fabulous winter coats.  What better way to look forward to a freezing day than pulling out one of our cute jackets – are we right?

 

 

Winter Styling Tips: Casual/Everyday Coats

When choosing a casual puffer, try and find one that isn’t TOO thick and for lack of a better word, puffy.  The good news is, puffers have come a long way in recent years, and it is no longer necessary to stay warm and cozy in one while looking like a marshmallow!  Here is one of our favorite puffer jackets that comes in black and navy….  And you won’t be sad about the price either!

Teddy coats have become increasingly popular, and their styles keep getting better and better.  Plus, it is the perfect coat for being casual and comfortable, but oh so cute!  When looking for a teddy coat – a style of coat that tends to be oversized – just pay careful attention to the fit of the coat.  Don’t let its oversized cut swallow you.  Similarly, you will want a faux fur that isn’t TOO furry or thick to ensure a more streamlined, flattering look.  This piece from Banana Republic is so gorgeous – and comes in petite sizes, which is such a bonus!

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?  When opting for a fuller coat, make sure to accentuate your waist and keep your shape!  And we love the shawl collar detail on this coat.  This piece would be killer with a skinny ankle pant!

And here are two of our favorite go-to classic wool coats that can be worn casual, dressy, and anything in between!  These both come in a multitude of colors, as well as petite, tall, and plus sizes.  Be sure to check out our blog from last week on how to style the grey coat three ways.

Coats to Dress Up

A tailored coat is always going to be appropriate and chic.  Choosing a lighter color, such as blush, camel, or powder blue will really lighten up your look!  This classic silhouette pairs just as nicely with a dress as it does with pants.  This particular coat comes in a multitude of colors, as well as petite, plus, and tall sizes.

A leather trench coat is a great way to elevate any look, from jeans and booties to black ankle pants and heels, and everything in between.  We love the color and texture that these cognac leather beauties add to a fall and winter wardrobe.

You guys know we love animal print….  And a coat in animal print is such a fun statement to add to an otherwise simple and sophisticated winter look!

Tweed, herringbone, and plaid are just a few of our winter obsessions!  In these cold months, many of are reaching for those solid colored sweaters and bottoms – add some flair with a coat with a texture or pattern.

And last, but most certainly not least – if in doubt ladies, wear RED.  There is just something about a red coat.  It’s bright, cheerful, festive, happy….  A dynamic that any cold winter day needs!

.
We haven’t had the chance to share a lot about our quick trip to Chicago early last month! When I say quick, I mean QUICK! We flew in on a Wednesday afternoon, dropped our bags, changed clothes and grabbed a wonderful dinner in the city! 
.
On Thursday, it was full on Anniversary Sale! We started the morning in the shoe department and spent quite a bit of time there. Then we made a quick stop in the beauty department for some personal pick-ups before we took a much needed lunch break! After that it was back to business, and we spent several hours working our way through all of the fabulous NSale finds in both the women’s and men’s departments! 
.
@kprestonstyle had to fly back home Thursday evening, but SEB and I had one more full day to do some shopping and exploring for clients. We loved popping in Bloomingdale’s and Saks and some other stores that we don’t have here in Nashville. We do a lot of ordering for our clients, so it’s super important to us that we stay on top of what brands other stores are carrying and where we can find the best pieces for our clients! 
.
Until next year Chicago! 💗

✨STYLING SESSION DAY✨ . Hey! Hey! It’s a Sty ✨STYLING SESSION DAY✨
.
Hey! Hey! It’s a Styling Session kind of week over here at ES, so we thought we’d share a little #behindthescenes of a recent Styling Session that Katie R did for a client!
.
A Styling Session is designed to help our clients maximize the clothes they have in their closet. It works a little something like….
.
1) We chat with our client and pull some pieces that they’d really like to work with/wear more often and wear differently. 
.
2) We then start pulling pieces to work with, shoes, accessories, etc from their closet. 
.
3) We lay out looks and take pictures of each look so that our client has lots of fun options to work with!
.
4) We edit and upload those looks to our Effortless Style app, so our client has access to their looks every single morning when they are getting dressed!
.
Reach out today if our stylists’ can help put some looks together for your late summer/transitioning to fall wardrobe or for an upcoming vacation/work trip or for any other occasion you may have coming up!
