Fashion Flash: Coats

Dramatic collars and soft volume are key to the shapes we’re seeing in coats this season. While minimalism has emerged as the trend, the use of vibrant color as a charming way to balance the softer side of coat shapes keeps things interesting.

While a great structured coat is essential to every wardrobe, hard lines are stepping aside for unusual shapes that are rounded from the neck to the sleeve.

With collars, designers are going to extremes. Think Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. On the runways and rockstars, we’re seeing over-sized draped collars, 60s inspired wide set lapels, and boat neck, collarless bands. Catwalks pop and sizzle with cool iris, royal lilac, vibrant pinks, and saturated tones.

Ever wonder how to translate what you see on the catwalk to what’s hanging in your closet? When it comes to coats this season, it’s a piece of cake. The new shapes and bold colors we’ve seen on the runway are popping up in relatable and wearable ways in stores like Macy’s, where we spotted this adorable double breasted coat from DKNYC.

Experiment and play with the season’s dramatic silhouettes. Make a statement with your coat, and keep the rest simple. We suggest opaque tights or a pair of skinny jeans to avoid bulk, and to keep the focus on you in your fantastic coat.
