The Bigger the Better: Wrap Yourself in the Season's Oversized Coat Trend

Left to right: Max Mara, Stella McCartney, Max Mara

While we’re still trying to hold onto as much Summer as we can, Fall will inevitably be upon us, and yes, a wooly winter coat is probably the last thing on our minds. But it’s never too early to browse for a potential outerwear staple. This year, designers decided to supersize the coat—creating a vintage-meets-boyish silhouette with dropped shoulders, long lengths, and plenty of room (perfect to fit your layered outfits). BIG is beautiful this autumn.  While Max Mara created coats that are neutral in tone, with pops of color and subtle collars, Carven dramatized the garment with exaggerated shoulders and below-the-knee lengths, and Celine played with details, such as stand-out lapels and accentuated hips.

If you're bored with your annual parka or peacoat purchase, this season's tailored, slope-y shouldered, and oversized outerwear, is the perfect silhouette for you. I love these coats for their subtle drama and modern elegance. Featuring a dominant palette of monochromatic pieces, these rich collections fuse crisp black and white solids with vibrant pops of eye-catching hues.

Check out the abundance of oversized silhouettes in exaggerated proportions below. Layered to perfection, these bold looks are ready for the cold weather.  The easy way to oversize? Contrast volume with slim-line structure (think pencil skirts and straight leg trousers!) for a stylish pairing of opposites.

There's a reason this combo is a classic:  it's ultra-chic and utterly modern, especially in statement silhouettes.  Add dimension to a two-tone look by combining print, like stripes on houndstooth.  Wear these color block shoes to add drama to a plain pencil skirt or elevate a simple pair of cuffed jeans into something insanely sexy.
