What an Act!

Who said winter coats have to be frumpy, bulky and shapeless? As temperatures drop and winter approaches, heat up your wardrobe with a real statement-making piece. Forget the trench coat, the pea coat and those less-than-flattering bubble jackets. This season, designers and stylists alike are reintroducing the striking ’60s aesthetic of clean shapes in bold colors. Tap into this look by calling forth a new style from an old era and invest in a trapeze coat this season. These dramatic, billowy sleeved, A-line coats automatically update any outfit and are sure to channel your inner Jackie O., making you feel and, of course, look just as amazing.

Besides its forgiving shape, what’s really great about the trapeze coat is its versatility. Following the autumn trend of layering, the trapeze coat adds a great finishing touch over any dress, jumper or jersey piece. It’s all about proportion! These voluminous coats look best in contrast with a slimmer silhouette. So think legs, legs, legs and streamline your figure with your favorite pair of tights or leggings that will still give you a sleeker silhouette without having to bare it all. And just for good measure, the pant-friendly population doesn’t have to sit this one out either because the trapeze coat also works just as well when paired with this year’s other essential trend-the skinny leg trouser.

Though the trapeze coat can be found in an array of different colors, darker hues like black, navy or houndstooth will keep you looking classic. For the bolder fashionista, take center stage with brighter colors like yellow, red or purple. Whatever hue you choose, you almost can’t go wrong with the trapeze coat. Just be sure to finish off your look with a high heel and you’re good to go for the next couple months.
