The Coat Trend That Will Dominate This Winter
With the rise of ‘90s fashion, we’re seeing the return of decades-past styles that feel more relevant than ever. Celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Campbell, and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy have become the poster children for a refined take on cool minimalism from the time period. Accounts such as @cabmate have found a dedicated audience on Instagram for distilling the best in fashion from the decade. Throwback pieces from the ‘90s, too, have made a resurgence. Among them are pared-back slip dresses, slinky jersey pieces, pencil skirts, and medium-wash straight-leg jeans. Another standout: Leather trench coats.
The outerwear piece is a bonafide modern staple in the fashion insiders’ closet, distilling a take on outerwear that is the perfect blend of sleek minimalism and modern cool and the style is already set to dominate winter wardrobes. Ahead, the leather trench coats that have an editor’s stamp of approval.
