How to Style a Black Coat

Happy Monday and Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Do you have the day off or are you still working? I am currently on a family adventure. Can you guess where we are? Be sure and follow me on Instagram to see where we are headed to! Also, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Be sure and check out what to gift and wear this Valentine’s Day HERE and check out additional gift guides HERE. The temps really dropped this weekend in Dallas so today let’s look at how to style a black coat. Although black coats go with almost everything, there are ways to style it so that it is a part of your look, versus just another layer. Instead of bulky, let’s all look stylish and sleek this winter!

We are still in the dead of winter, so it is always a good time to invest in a black coat. This double-breasted wool coat is such a classic coat that never goes out of style. It is the perfect length and weight, plus it shapes nicely. The coat also comes in a gorgeous camel color. Everyone should aim to have a black coat and a camel coat in their winter wardrobe. Another coat I recommend is this wool-blend wrap coat. I love the tie-waist and the longer length. It also comes in camel.

Ok so how do you wear a black coat and still look fashion-forward? For starters, black almost always goes with black. A turtleneck sweater not only keeps you warm, but also extends the line of the coat, giving you a long, sleek look. I recommend this black turtleneck sweater or this black turtleneck top for something more lightweight. I paired the turtleneck with these Frame flare denim jeans. These jeans make your legs look so long, which again adds to the long line we want to create. Lastly, pair the look with a pair of booties. A pointed toe is ideal so that it goes past the line of the flare jeans and you can see the color or pattern. For something fun, try these animal print ankle boots. Give your look a final touch with these black cat eye sunglasses

Voila! You are now chic, sleek and ready for winter.
