STYLING A PRINTED STATEMENT COAT

While there are so many cool and cozy coats to you can try on in winter, you can never go wrong with a bold print version. These are coats that stand out all on their own; they’re often recognisable because of their unique colours and patterns. A well-cut or striking outer layer is the last thing you put on but the first thing others see, so why not make it a statement. Prints and patterns are popping up all over street style and this standout printed look is guaranteed to turn heads for the Autumn and Winter seasons. Winters here in Durban (South Africa) are not cold at all, so I don't really get the opportunity to wear statement coats as much as I would like too. But I always find an occasion to pull one out the wardrobe.

Printed coats are perfect for keeping stylish all season long. I think this is also one of the easiest styling tricks to pull off because you can wear a patterned coat over anything.

TIPS FOR WEARING A PRINTED STATEMENT COAT

The printed coat is something you can easily throw on over just about any outfit to feel a little more special.

Patterned jackets can feel intimidating but be confident.  I know, this is easier said than done, but all that really matters is that you like what you are wearing. 

For warmer days, you can pair your statement jacket with a simple dress or you could even layer your statement jacket over a fitted sweater or turtleneck.

To dress with a pattern statement coat in the winter, there’s only one rule.  The key is to keep your outfit plain so you don't divert the attention away from it.   Let the coat be the focus of the outfit – just wear a solid colour like grey or white underneath so that the centre of attention is the coat. This is pretty much foolproof with any printed statement coat.

Printed coats often contain so many colours, that they can go with just about anything.  You want all eyes on the piece.  Try match the tones of the jacket with your top and throw some jeans on (these coats look incredible with jeans) to complete the look.  By focusing on just a couple of colours and keeping everything else neutral, the outfit feels bright without being overpowering.

If you are feeling a little extra bold try wearing a printed coat with other prints to create the print on print look.  When mixing patterns, it's all about scale. The pattern on the pants or skirt should be much smaller in scale than the jacket; therefore they work together without being pattern overload.

Bold pattern statement coats have been spotted on street style stars and bloggers, so you know it's a trend that's going to continue to take off.  Keep scrolling to get inspired to get a printed statement coat you can wear all winter long.
