| The autumn palette fans out its feathers, just as the beautiful peacock displays his distinctive train of colors. We admire the vibrant stunning character of each and every hue. As we enjoy the fall season wearing a poncho and drinking our pumpkin latte, its time to think about the “coat.”
Its time to think chic, no matter what the weather brings. Its all about the coat! The coat is making a huge statement this season whether a classic silhouette or trendingcolor, the choice is yours. The menswear statement is mild, classic, and always a polished look. In wool, cashmere, or tweed this coat style yields a hem just about mid thigh. Always a lapel and often shoulder pads. Most often there are three large buttons, no zippers and slit pockets. It’s a no brainer for the working gal but do feel free to pair jeans and booties to get a whole new spin on the weekend. The wrap coat is a must for over dresses, skirts, leggings, or a lean pointe pant. Nothing too heavy worn under the wrap coat. With this particular silhouette, the cinched-waist style the wrap screams to debut your waist. Not to worry about length here. The wrap is all about keeping the vibe elegant with a relaxed shape, mimicking the oversized shirt/shirt dress. The texture such as a soft wool or boucle looks effortless and is flattering on every shape. The belt does not have to be cinched in to the full capacity, just gently gathered. Who could walk away from a swing? The movement of the swing coat has tugged on our hearts for decades. The flow, the ease, the shape. The swing is a true closet classic that can simply be updated by mixing up new colors. However there is no trend that does not support the vintage vibe. If it was your Mothers or Aunts, power it up!!! This fall and holiday season we are seeing some clear-cut winners. The hues of “desert sage” a smooth cool soothing greenish gray. An easy color to slip into a coat thanks to its versatility and it’s not a screamer. “Masala,” is a winery of reds and browns, a rich robust fall mood instantly. This color is another inspiration to break up your black coat collection. A powerful blue gray that is strong and confident, such as “Stormy weather,” is another winner this season. The moments to treasure this fall and holiday season are endless. The time spent with family and friends are priceless. Enjoy yourself in style. Pick a color, grab that coat and get glowing! |
