I Have put together an informative styling video for you to feel inspired by.

The most important highlight for you to extract from this is knowing that your coat/s should last you more than a couple of seasons. It is winter’s style element that can transform an entire look from characterless to pleasingly polished.
Your coats should be stored and cared for at all times. Keep the day to day coat for your runarounds to work and back. However, invest in a coat that can take you out at night looking finesse.
TIP: Light colours are great, only if you know you can care for it without watching it go stale. Otherwise, no matter how much you invested in it, the coat will be cheapened within days. So no running into muddy streets, keep it chic!

TRENCH COATS.
The ever so chic and powerful style that, depending on the fabrication and colour, can take your look from the streets to work even layered above your sheerest dress!
NOTE: If you grab onto the chambray style trench, please note, this is a trendy casual coat. Perfect for the minimalist and not for the corporate office.
+
DOUBLE BREASTED COATS.
Sophisticated indeed.
The double breasted coat can overwhelm your silhouette if you are petite. However, if you aim for this style with a back belt, similar to the one I introduced in the video, SOFIA, then fantastic! This cut is all yours! Make sure it cinches in your waist to suit.
If you are tall, this style is perfect for you even in a boxy shape! For the ladies with hips, the FOREVER NEW fit and flare is your go to!
+
SINGLE BREASTED STRAIGHT COAT.
A long lined silhouette that elongates the look! This cut is sensation on! Also, a charming every day coat!
Easy to edge up with accessories such as :
leather gloves
a fedora hat
mismatched earrings
Or, elevate it with royal tones to take yourself out at night!
This is a classic coat for all occasions and will last for years without looking passé, if you know how to take care of it!
+
BELTED ROBE COAT.
The name itself makes me feel snug and ready for frosty days!
Such an easy coat to layer above most looks, you can even hide your tracksuit beneath and no one will take note! It is an easy way to look stylish when you’re feeling ordinary and lazy. ( Hopefully, this is not something you plan to do on a regular basis!)
Have fun with this coat and style it in different ways. As seen in the above video.
STYLE TIP: Embellish the lapel or belt with brooches, add colourful scarves and textures.
