Fall/Winter Staples: The Oversized Coat

Ok, now that most of us have came down from our sugar rush and post Halloween hangovers. Lets get back to business. Here are a few of this season's most buzzworthy Fall/Winter 2013 must have... none other than the coveted OVERSIZED COAT. From inspirations including military styles, playful colors, mixed-media textures, and asymmetrical/architectural designs these are some of the trends that every fashionista must have. The Trench Coat has always been a go to for outerwear. Its very versatile and chic, whether you dress it up with skyscraper heels or give it edge appeal with combat style military boots this is one all around class act, also another trend I have seen with the trench in particular is the featuring of mixing different textures commonly termed mixed-media. Like the one I have shown here from Sam Edelman that can be found at Dillard's, alongside this ravishing Steve Madden trench with faux leather arms. Next in the line up is the oh so sophisticated Cocoon Coat these vintage style icons first emerged in the 1920's and have been revamped this season in a array of colors and designs. I have yet to see any that are in a reasonable price range (under $200.00 USD) but it is an item that I would save up for, or if in the mood splurge on the one I have depicted here is from asos which is a steal for only $160.00 (USD). You could also find them in many vintage shops or thrift/resale stores since they are pretty retro. Finally lets give you that POP of color to brighten up these long,cold winter nights with the playful hues that have been emerging this year with Color Blocking/ Bright Color coats. You will most definitely stand out in these eye catchers with colors ranging from bright red, pastel pinks, and baby blues. Keep it buttoned up or give it that loose fit for perfect layering ability. So be on the look out for these winter cold busters that will be sure to keep you warm and cozy in the upcoming winter months.
