How To Style A Jacket This Season

During fall, your choice of outerwear is an important one. The weather is a lot chillier, so more people will see your coat than anything else. Think of it as your statement piece. With that in mind, here’s how to go about styling your jacket this season, depending on your particular choice of jacket.

Styling a Long Nylon Coat

Lengthy nylon coats are a very wearable trend this season, coming straight from the runway. The ones on the runway had a very trench coat-like feel and were very smart looking. A plus is that they will keep you dry in the rain! Another great thing about the trench coat style is that it’s virtually foolproof. Here are some options:

1. Formal Options

   For more formal affairs, you can pair a nylon coat with a suit and tie or a dress or skirt. Buttoning the coat up and pairing it with an umbrella will make you look like you stepped out of the 1900s (but in a good way).

2. Casual But Chic

   A nylon coat looks just as great with a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt or tee as it does with more formal underwear. For this look, opt for a more casual shoe like a sneaker. You will look effortlessly chic.

Styling A (Faux) Leather Coat

Faux leather coats are another trend this season, not to mention a fall staple. Here’s how to style them.

1. For a Casual, Classic Look

   A leather jacket pairs great with a pair of jeans, a graphic tee, and a pair of sneakers. In fact, it’s a classic style.

2. Black Skinnies and a Pair of Heels

   Leather coats have a reputation of being worn by bikers, but that is not the case. Try pairing a leather coat with black skinnies and a pair of heels. Bet you just changed how you feel about leather coats.

3. A 90s Look

   90s clothes are in right now. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, pair a maxi dress or a velvet mini with a black leather jacket over it.

4. Since leather coats are cropped, opt for a high-waisted pant to create a lean line.
5. Pair your faux leather jacket with other vegan accessories like a vegan backpack. Make a powerful statement.
