Oversized Trenches

Inspired by menswear trenches of the ’90s, these winter-friendly, weatherproof coats are getting boxier and bigger this coming winter, while also retaining their inherent tailored feel.

Patchwork Crops

Take a cue from this year’s Costume Institute exhibit at The Met, which celebrates Americana fashion trends, and take the classic ’70s patchwork look for a spin. Try a cropped or belted silhouette so the print doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Longline Blazers

For those in-between days, consider having a longline blazer on hand. Tailored and chic, this topper is just the thing to add to everything from denim to dresses and tights. Make sure it’s slightly boxy and falls mid-thigh, so it feels perfectly on trend.

Statement Coats

Statement coats are having a bold comeback this winter. From houndstooth to plaid, bright color to velvety textures, when your look is all about the coat, it’s going to be a good day.

Winter White

Archaic fashion rules dictate that white can only be worn between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but today, that could be further from the truth. Be it a tailored tuxedo-style coat, wrap robe-style, or chunky shearling look, it’s well worth it to invest in a creamy white coat this coming season.
