| PERSONAL STYLE'S
EIGHT GREAT...
Coats that are
guaranteed to look great thrown over this season's velvet and
feminine suits:
|
1. COLOR CODE |
 |
 |
- Brighten up a gray
winter day with a colorful, jewel-toned coat like
this one from Michael Kors
- Pick a coat with a
plush fox
collar to turn a simple Nixonian
look into a glamorous cover-up
- Make that fur collar
removable in order to extend your coat’s practicality
|
| 2. BELT ONE ON |
 |
 |
- Replace the shapeless
coats
- Define the waist with
a sharp leather
belt
- Note this
smart combination: Elegant turn-down collar and casual textured Alpaca
give this Theory coat
versatility
|
| 3. MILITARY CHIC |
 |
 |
- Think Military for
fall. It's the season's big trend
- This BCBG number is a
perfect easy topper for jeans or over a business
suit
- Military
coats come in green and unexpected shades like pink or
lavender
- Collars can be
worn down for a newer look or turned up to chase away
the chill
|
|
4. CASUAL MILITARY |
|

|
|

|
·
Remember:
Double-breasted brass buttons define the new military
look
·
But be careful: Double
rows of buttons can make you look extra-wide
·
Look for coats like this
one from Vince with nipped waist for a slimming
effect
·
The vintage-feel of
this coat goes well with jeans
|
| 5. MILITARY MARCH |
 |
 |
- Add a jeweled belt to feminize
an otherwise manly coat
- Slip a red turtleneck beneath
for extra punch
- Michael Kors
adds a bit of glamour with red piping and metal buttons in this
version that is sure to have everyone snapping to
attention
|
| 6. PRETTY PRINTS |
 |
 |
- With coats
taking center stage, it’s time to have fun with them
- Prints make a
coat stand out and add a
touch of whimsy
- J. Crew plays
around with a high waist and floral print. It may remind you of
spring but, in warm wool,
it’s perfect for fall
|
| 7. DR. ZHIVAGO |
 |
 |
- Russian and
Eastern European folklore is a major
inspiration for fall
- Very versatile, these coats
are beautiful enough to work as an evening topper after keeping
you warm throughout the day
- Just like the
Russian Cossacks, you’ll look dashing in this sumptuous style by Cynthia Steffe, which
combines fur-trim with
multicolor tapestry
|
| 8. LADY-LIKE |
 |
 |
- Declare your innocence or declare
yourself an indulgent
fashionista in a white coat
- Remember: White coats are
notoriously difficult to keep clean in
winter
- But
it’s hard to resist the luxury and smartness of
white coats like this one from J.
Crew
