I love coats. In fact, you could say I’m a bit obsessed with them. No matter the silhouette, texture, pattern or hue, they are definitely a defining element of my signature style. True, I live in the Midwest, where it seems always to be cold and the right coat is a necessity, but honestly, the main reason I’m such a lover of the perfect topper is how it can elevate any look. The best part of course, is that the right coat can pack a stylish punch, amping up your basics without a lot of fuss. Today’s white denim and cashmere knit sweater get a nice boost with the addition of a chestnut tweed peacoat. The double-breasted coat has all the classic peacoat attributes but its rich, nubby, wool tweed gives it a subtle, but unique flair. With colder temps right around the corner (though today’s high is supposed to be 79!) stay tuned for lots more coats and how to style them.

Thanks so much, Amy Ann! Yes, coats really can change a look, which is what I love about them. It’s a good thing I like wearing them, too, since the weather here gets awfully cold. Have a wonderful weekend!
Another great look Mary, super pretty double breasted jacket, love the contrast of the grey with the winter white I am a fan of coats too, but in Charlotte, NC we dont seem to get really cold except for Jan-Feb. maybe a bit in Dec, but that doesnt seem to stop me from buying coats! I think it can really says alot about one’s style as well.

Thanks so much, Jess! Great eye for all the little details! And don’t feel too bad about it not getting really cold in your area. Don’t confuse my liking coats for liking cold weather :) Not a fan of snow, just love the look of coats as accessories. Unfortunately, I’ll have to gear up for the Midwest winter ahead, while you’re enjoying the more temperate weather in Charlotte :) Lucky you! Have a wonderful weekend! xox-M
