I'd Like to Chat More About This Popular Winter Trend

There are certain trends that just get me. You know—those looks that are unique, cool, statement-making, and forward all wrapped into one. Currently, it's all about the purple winter coat. Yes, the pretty hue cropped up throughout 2018 as an It color on everything from tops to bags to shoes, but it's the bold outerwear selects that are poppin' right now.

Not only is the trend inherently statement-making (you can wear legit anything underneath and still look fly), but it also feels a bit unexpected and therefore forward in comparison to other colorful coats.
