10 Ways To Style An Oversized Coat

Oversized shapes can be tricky and a bit intimidating at first. Learn how to master the latest trend in coats like a pro.

Belt It Up

Perhaps the most approachable version of this trend is the one that comes with the help of the always useful belt. It will create a silhouette based on the thinnest part of your upper body, the waist.

For a look that's super straightforward but can be styled in a variety of different ways, choose a grey horizontal striped coat and black leather skinny pants. When it comes to shoes, go for something on the casual end of the spectrum and round off this look with a pair of gold leather ballerina shoes.

Keep It Simple

By wearing wardrobe basics or neutral tones you can manage to sport an edgy trend and still look sleek.

Add Some Femininity

They say opposites attract. The contrasting combination of an oversized coat with a feminine dress or skirt is the perfect fashionable juxtaposition for this season.

Boyish

The oversized trend comes straight from menswear inspiration so, naturally, you can finish the look with some boyfriend jeans.

Sophisticated

Take the oversize trend to the next level by pairing a large coat with wide leg pants. The surprisingly sophisticated result will make you stand out from the crowd while looking trendy and elegant at the same time.

Pop Of Color

Although camel and grey are the most popular colors for an oversized coat, several fashionistas are opting for pastel shades or even bright tones to make a statement.

Add A Touch Of Rock ’N Roll

Black leather leggings or pants add just the right dose of edginess to rock this winter trend!

Office Appropriate

This trend is 100% office appropriate as a long piece of clothing tends to look more conservative. Yet, the volume of this kind of coats offers a modern twist to a classic long winter coat.

Play With Volumes

Joining the oversized trend doesn’t necessarily mean you will lose your silhouette. Balance the oversized shape of a coat with a pencil skirt to show your curves.

Sporty

Put your sneakers on and score two major 2015/2016 trends in one single outfit!
