Double Your Outerwear

   If you believe that your layering game is a little bit off and you feel like you 've tried everything, well, have you tried layering two different coats, in one outfit...?! That's right, two coats, in just one outfit! I know it sounds pretty crazy (or even a little bit weird), but apparently, wearing two coats or jackets, is a thing now...

   So, stupid or brilliant, that is totally up to you, since you get to decide whether you 're gonna give this "trend" a try or not. As for me, i really don't know how i feel about this whole new level of layering. I mean, sure, i am definitely not gonna freeze everytime i step out of the house, but am i going to feel and be comfortable while wearing two coats or two jackets, all at once...? #idon'tknow #ireallydon't

Put A Belt Over It!

   If you are looking for a quick and easy way to look extra put-together and polished, while wearing a lot of clothing layers, then just add a belt over your coat/ blazer or jacket! That way, you will accentuate your waist, while still looking super fashionable and stylish. So, all you really need is a small (or even a medium) sized belt, and... there you have it! All of your winter outfits will be totally chic and elegant, and you won't look like you are being drowned by all of the clothing layers! Super cool, huh?

Androgynous Vibes

 

Caroline's Mode 

  From the very first moment that i found this gorgeous picture online, i knew i had to write a post about it! See, i don't really know why i like it so much, but i just find it so cool and inspiring! The weird thing though, is that this outfit doesn't actually look like something i would personally approve, like and wear. But, i would totally like to give this look a try, as long as i made a few changes, of course! #daaah

   For example, i would have worn a completely fitted and tailored suit, in order to achieve a more polished and put-together outfit. Moving on, i would have worn different kind of shoes, probably a pair of clean and sophisticated oxfords, so that i can still have that adrogynous vibe going on. Lastly, i would have replaced those oversized sunglasses, with a pair that's more minimal and elegant.

   Anyway, the bottom line is that i really find this picture cool and inspiring, and i truly hope you do, too!

P.S. I decided to blog every single day for the rest of this week, so don't forget to come back on the blog every day,  in order to check out all of the new posts! ;)

Colour Your Life

   If you wanna make every winter outfit of yours, look unique and fashionable without a lot of effort, then investing in a coloured coat, is definitely the way to go!

   See, a warm coat in an interesting and eye-catching colour, will add that extra "something" to your winter ensembles, making them look super chic and modern, in no time!

   So, if your style is kind of basic and preppy, then i suggest pairing it with some timeless black and white pieces, in order to achieve a clean and soshisticated result. But, if "less is more" isn't really your thing, then don't hesitate to wear it with some other coloured (or even printed) pieces, in order to create some really interesting and totally modern combinations!

   Passionate red, royal blue, bright yellow, soft pink, mysterious orange, dark green, cool mustard, baby blue..., pick one (or two), and... colour your life! Happy shopping, ladies! #wink #wink

What To Wear With A Baby Blue Coat

   A couple of weeks ago, i actually purchased a baby blue coat from a vintage store and i have to admit that i've been wearing it non-stop ever since! See, baby blue or pale blue as some people like to call it, is such an awesome colour, right? It looks amazing with grey, black and white, yellow, and silver too!
   Also, you should totally try pairing it with bright or navy blue, the result is absolutely gorgeous! And believe me, i know what you are probably thinking right now... "Blue with blue?! I don't think so..." Well, that's exactly what i thought in the first place, but now that i've actually tried this colour combo, i can guarantee you that the result looks so chic and modern. So go ahead and try it, too!
   Lastly, here are some great ways that you can style YOUR baby blue/pale blue coat!
   Get inspired, ladies...

What To Wear With A Fur Coat

   It is definitely a staple piece for the winter time, plus, it's probably the chic-est outerwear for the super cold days. A fur coat is perfect for day and night time and it will keep you extra warm and cozy even at the lowest temperatures.

   You can wear it with pretty much everything, from jeans and leather pants to little black dresses and formal skirts! But, if you don't own a fur coat then i would definitely suggest purchasing either a black or grey one or if you really wanna step out of your comfort zone and try out something different, then feel free to buy a white one, a soft pink one or even a colourful one! (Wouldn't that look super cool...?!)

  So, here are some really cute ways that you can style your fur coat (photos via stylescrapbook, stockholmstreetstyle, the blonde salad, song of style and kayture).

How To Style A Leopard Coat

   The truth is that i am a huge fan of -almost- every single print there is out there. Leopard print/floral print/zebra print..., you name it, i love it. So, if i had to pick the one that i love the most, i would probably say leopard print or floral print...or leopard or floral. See...? I can't even decide, since i pretty much love both equally!

   But, today's post is all about the good old leopard print, and more specifically i am gonna write about four cool ways that you can style a leopard printed coat.

1)Black And White

   Every time you don't know how to style a colorful piece -in this case a leopard coat-, just "play it safe" by pairing it with some simple and neutral colours, like black and white. This outfit could be recreated by everyone, since all you basically need are some basic pieces, like a white swetaer, a pair of black skinny jeans, a black handbag, a pair of black ankle booties, and -of course- a leopard coat. Super cool, huh...?!

2)The Red Details

   I have to admit that i absolutely love/love/love the leopard-red combination. It is kind of unexpected but at the same time so chic and elegant! So, feel free to pair your leopard printed coat with some red/orang-ish pieces, and don't forget to keep the rest of your look simple and neutral. (white top-black bottoms)

 

Sincerely Jules

3)Leopard And Leopard

   I never thought that wearing leopard with leopard would look so awesome, until i came across this amazing picture. Breaking the <<One animal print at the time>> "rule", this outfit is chic, elegant and -above all- really unique!

4)"Total" Black

   Leopard print looks absolutely amazing when paired with black, so why don't you wear your beloved leopard coat with a black top/ black jeans/ a black handbag and a pair of black heels...? Also, if you feel like the result is too black for you, then just wear white shoes instead!

A/W 2013-14 Trend: Oversized Coats

   They definitely weren't meant to fit perfectly, but they totally meant to look chic and classy! "Oversized coats" are really in right now, since they were all over the autumn/winter shows. They could be worn with a pair of denim or leather pants for the daytime, or with a sophisticated formal dress/skirt, during the night.

   Lastly, if you are a tall girl you can totally rock this trend, but if you are petite you might have to reconsider before trying it, since you don't wanna end up looking like you are being swallowed by the coat, cause YOU should be the one wearing the coat, not the opposite! But again, you can never really say for sure, unless you actually try it! 

   

   Here's how the models rocked this lovely trend, at the catwalk:

Balmain, Carven, Lanvin

Proenza Schouler, Carven, Michael Kors

   If you need some ideas on how you can style an oversized coat, then just take a look at the following  pictures!
