Behold! At last something in our closets to help take the pressure off our beloved wardrobe; a great statement coat takes all the work out of dressing for the day or evening.
While we all cherish our trenches and puff-vests as comfort zone necessities, what you wear under the coat tends to be the focus. With a statement coat, you dress entirely off the style of the coat itself. What you wear under it really won’t matter. So it is important to choose your Spirit Coat as you would your Spirit Animal. Think in terms of expanding your closet’s wearability during the dark days of winter, and use this moment to truly express your personal style.
Take a look at the statement coats we’ve selected below:
kensie, Plaid Cocoon Coat, $168
This sophisticated yet cozy coat is on trend with its bold plaid. A single button closure and longline silhouette make it a great combination of statement/go-to style.
Kate Spade New York, Bow Quilt Zip-Up Fit-and-Flare, $278
This Kate Spade coat is a practical choice for a first-timer. The peplum-like cut of the coat is slimming, and the bow-shaped quilting details are fun. It is encouraged to play off this bow detail, echoing it in shoes or jewelry.
Badgley Mischka, Sequin-Coated Plaid Coat, $296
This coat is for the woman who loves to sparkle, but isn’t ostentatious in her styling. The plaid that is on point with Fall and Winter trends right now is elegantly laid out in sequins. The classic red is a great go-to color to add a bit of ‘wow’ into the mainstay blacks, greys and browns.
Alberto Makali, Rabbit Fur & Sequin Long Coat, $345
Oh the places you will go in this lovely formal statement coat. Perfect for the Opera, Theatre, or holiday cocktail party. Would also layer nicely over a trenchcoat, or similar thinner layer of the same proportions for added warmth and to dress it down a bit.
Elie Tahari, Iris Floral Printed Jacket, $558
Tahari nails it again with this sumptuous garden-print statement coat. If you love color during winter, this is your perfect fit. This coat can really cover the spread between casual jean days or to spruce up suits during the work day.
