The Color-Blocked Coat

For me, this year has been all about coats. I invested in my first luxury coat and finally got my much dreamed about trench coat. This season I think there has been an emphasis on glamming your outer layer up and differentiating yourself from the black puffy masses. There have been tons of different winter coat styles this season but the one that caught my eye was the Color-Blocked Coat. This jacket stands out from the rest, yet is muted enough for the class, office, or errands.

J.Crew makes a nicely tailored color-block coat in two shades: red for the more adventurous and a neutral made up of greys and camel. J.Crew Colorblock Funnelneck Coat

For something even more unique, try the color-blocked trench coat. This jacket from Nordstrom is great because it comes in three different color combinations,  but my personal favorite is the Burgendy/Black. And you just can't beat the price. Nordstrom Faux Leather & Wool Blend Trench Coat

For something even more youthful, try Jaeger's Multicolor Italian Wool Colour Block Coat. The pops of red against the neutral colors brighten up the coat and really makes you stand out.
