Outerwear Styling: 8 Tips for Success

  1. Tailored Layers: Layering is key to mastering your coat ensemble. Opt for fitted basics like a slim turtleneck or button-down shirt underneath your coat for a sleek silhouette.
  2. Accessorise Thoughtfully: Elevate your look with the right accessories. Statement scarves, belts, and hats can add flair to your coat ensemble without overwhelming your outfit.
  3. Mix Textures: Experiment with texture to add depth to your outfit. Pair a wool coat with leather boots or a silk scarf to create visual interest.
  4. Play with Proportions: Balance your outfit by pairing fitted coats with wide-legged pants or oversized coats with slim-fit bottoms. This juxtaposition creates a visually appealing and fashion-forward look.
  5. Layer Knitwear: Incorporate knitwear into your coat ensemble for added warmth and style. Layer chunky knit sweaters or cardigans under your coat for an effortlessly cosy look that's perfect for chilly days. Experiment with different knit textures and colours to create contrast and visual interest,
  6. Mix and Match: Don't be afraid to mix and match different coat styles with your existing wardrobe pieces. Experiment with colour combinations, patterns, and textures to create unique and personalised outfits.
  7. Consider Length: Pay attention to the length of your coat in relation to your outfit. Longer coats are great for adding drama and sophistication, while cropped styles can lend a more casual and modern vibe.
  8. Focus on Fit: Ensure your coat fits well! Tailoring may be necessary to achieve the perfect fit, but it's worth the investment for a polished and put-together look.
