OVERCOAT

March 13, 2014



. REISS 1971 SOUL COAT .

The overcoat has become a huge thing of late, gone are the days of wearing ones coat properly, we’re now channeling the oh so elegant style of draping ones coat over the shoulder. It’s a look that’s at one with the upper class or the public school elite but not something that had transferred down to the fashion masses until now. I personally am a big fan … when you’re rocking a look for a special event,  wearing something a little fancy or even a delicate dress that needs a bit of protection, the draping coat over the shoulder technique is rather handy. I also all subconsciously (or consciously) connotes being looked after by a gentleman, the draped coat after all is Prince charmings way to say he cares.
. Reiss 1971 Coat . Missguided Midi Skirt . ASOS Heels . Topshop Clutch .

 

Anyway, enough of fantasizing about Prince charming, in this instance I myself draped my coat over my own shoulder, no romance or falling in love involved. I wore this look a little while back, a chic midi skirt & simple grey marl tee … but perhaps the finishing touch which makes this look is my Reiss coat draped so beautifully over my shoulder. Not only does the coat go perfectly, but the boyfriend cut gives the look a little preppy, elegant & romantic finish.
 
What do you think of the draped coat trend, are you a fan?

      Love the coat colour…and the outfit is so lovely. I think I’d be wary of my coat falling off all the time if I draped it, but it definitely ‘looks’ chic! :) Danielle x
