As a fashion enthusiast and collector of outerwear, I always find joy in styling bold and eye-catching coats. When preparing for my trip to Paris, I carefully selected two statement coats that I had found on TheRealReal, a treasure trove for designer pieces at affordable prices. While I dream of owning luxurious coats like this one and that one, my budget leads me to shop second-hand or hunt for amazing deals like the ones I snagged for my Paris trip.
Outfit One featured a stunning ODLR Vintage 90s Runway coat paired with chic Tuckernuck pants, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and a Bottega Veneta bag. The vibrant colors and unique design of the coat truly made a statement, adding a touch of sophistication to the ensemble.
For Outfit Two, I opted for a cozy yet stylish look with J.Crew sweater leggings, Anine Bing shoes, a Missoni coat, and a Chanel bag. The Missoni coat exuded elegance with its intricate patterns and luxurious feel, perfect for a day out in the city or a casual evening event.
As I continue to expand my collection of statement coats, I have compiled a list of my favorite standout pieces that are sure to elevate any fall or winter wardrobe. From bold patterns to rich textures, these coats are must-have styles for the season:
1. Oversized Plaid Coat: Embrace the cozy-chic trend with an oversized plaid coat in classic black and white or bold red and green. Pair it with jeans and boots for a casual yet stylish look.
