The Coat Guide, 4. the bold coat

Let's go ahead with the 4th step of our Coat Guide with a winter must, soft, warm, perfect for the day both in the city and in the country, for a romantic autumnal weekend.

4. THE BOLD COAT

BOLD IN THE CITY

Statement is the key word of this FW12.

Act like city streets were a catwalk and go bold with a soft and snug coat in a sumptuous hue like dark green and update your diva status with gold in tactile textures like embellishments and woven leather.

Add interest to your outfit with a felt fedora and a doctor bag (the must in terms of bag for this winter).

COZY COTTAGE

Escaping from town for a romantic weekend? 

Opt for an off-duty printed dress and partner a british-taste tote, in-tone booties and other woolen accessories to stay warm.

Of course, choose a bold cozy coat for a sophisticated take on countryside living.

EMBRACE LACE lesson 1: partner it with leather

A lace finish can turn a taupe sweater from simple to extremely classy. This year, match it with a knee cutted A line leather skirt and emphasize this flawless silhouette with a statement necklace, sculpture platform and a classic texture-leather designer bag to obtain a glamourous ensamble which will take you without efforts from office to happy hour time.
