Don't get me wrong—I'm all for a basic black or camel-colored coat, but there's something about a fresh statement piece that instantly lifts my mood, especially in the dreary winter months. It's also an easy way to finish off an outfit with minimal thinking required. If you've ever looked at a vibrant-hued coat on the runway and thought "Can I pull that off?", we're here to tell you that yes, you can, and we've got chock-full of outfit formulas for you to try out.
I love looking towards fashion girls on Instagram for fashion inspiration, and when it came to out-of-the-box coats, they delivered. From neon-colored trenches to shearling collars, there's plenty of coat outfits that will have you standing out this season.
If you're not willing to go all out with the faux-fur, go with a collar to still stay trendy but on a more subtle level.
If there's a statement coat to buy this season, it's a Stand Studio one. With this piece, you won't need to think about much else when it comes to your outfit. It pairs well wth a pair of skinny jeans and a furry bucket hat.
Of course, our very own Who What Wear collection has you covered with a new coat for the season.
An oversized coat in a bright hue is the perfect way to liven up your winter basics.
Even if you live somewhere with a warmer climate, opt for a lightweight trench-style coat over a mini dress for the L.A way to layer.
I love the quilting detail on this coat, and how everything else is kept minimal and neutral.
Yes, you can bring your spring pastels into the winter. Just find a coat in a lighter hue, and edge it up with leather boots.
A houndstooth coat is a classic piece.
Contrast your neutrals with a bright tone like bubblegum pink.
Statement coat + graphic tee + jeans = a comfortable and on-trend ensemble.
Wrap a faux fur over your loungewear to keep extra cozy this season.
Don't be afraid to play around with color wheel when it comes to pairing your statement pieces.
If you read our winter color report, you'd know that yellow is trending hard this season.
