It’s a defeating feeling – putting on an amazing outfit only to cover it up with a parka. And that’s often the reality of chilly days… until now. Fashionistas are reinventing the wheel and taking their outerwear to new heights. And luckily for you, we scoured the streets looking for the chicest cold weather looks (and they did not disappoint). Keep reading to see five ensembles where the coat is the star of the show – and how you can get the look.
Edgy
Short and anything but sweet. Opt for a cropped puffer coat in your favorite shade of black for a look that is equal parts warm and cool. To keep your legs warm, style it with knee-high boots for a fashionable and functional look. Toss on some shades and a mini bag and you’re off.
Cozy
Blanket, but make it fashion. Okay, not really — but it will feel like that! The key to a cozy, yet chic outerwear moment? Proportions. Style an oversized, fleece coat with a sweater dress and pumps — we love this look especially with the coat styled open so you can see your outfit underneath.
Tailored
Button things up with a chic, textured peacoat. We’re loving the dramatic, oversized lapels on this look. Style your peacoat with a loose up-do, turtleneck, and trousers for a tailored look that means business.
Sporty
This is where edgy and cozy collide. Break out your high-shine leggings and throw on a matching oversized, quilted puffer. This look can take you from studio to street with a quick change of shoes.
Men’s
Layering an overcoat over a blazer = maybe the best style-tip of the season. Keep it open if there’s a slight chill in the air, and button up if the temps take a dip.
