The STATEMENT

By Jessalyn Holsing Photos by Maggie Sweets Photography

What exactly is a “statement coat”? While definitions may differ on a broader scale, what can be agreed upon most is that a statement coat is a wrap that adds a certain stand-out flair, style, or attitude to your outfit—no matter what you’re wearing. The following are top picks for this year’s trendiest, most fun statement coats:

THE LEATHER JACKET.

Yes, that’s right, it’s here to stay. Last year leather jackets were on the rise, and this year they’re still at the top of the leader board. They’re thick, warm, comfortable, and portray an effortless look of strength and smarts to any outfit. Looking to add more flair? Shearling-lined leather jackets give a little pop of color and provide some extra coziness!

THE SHEARLING.

Sure, we just mentioned shearling-lined, but why not go all out with the fuzzy? Shearling is soft, meaning not only is it comfortable, it’s also incredibly warm and cute. You couldn’t get friendlier than showing up in an adorable colored shearling coat. So get out there and make a statement at your favorite coffee shop while staying comfortable and warm!

THE PUFFY PATTERN.

Looking for that classic comfort of cotton or down while staying cozy on the run? Puffy patterns, whether in stripes or diamond shapes are hitting the market. Now more than ever it’s easy to stay chic while out and about, as fashion-forward trends lean toward the classic puffy look slimmed down into something trendy and fun!

No matter what style you choose, you’re bound to look fantastic while on the go, boldly asserting yourself with confidence in your favorite statement coat. n
