Oversized Blazers

• Why They’re A Good Choice: Blazers aren’t just for the office anymore! Oversized blazers are a hot trend this season, offering a balance of structure and comfort.
• How to Style: For a modern look, pair your blazer with high-waisted jeans and a turtleneck or a fitted midi skirt. Keep the colors neutral or go for plaid for that fall feel.
• Pro Tip: Layer a chunky scarf or add a belt at the waist to give your blazer a more defined shape on colder days.

• How to Style: Pair your wool coat with a dress, tights, and ankle boots for a night out, or with jeans and a turtleneck for an everyday chic look.
• Pro Tip: Neutrals like camel, black, and gray are timeless, but don’t be afraid to try jewel tones like emerald or burgundy for a pop of color.

Final Tips for Choosing Your Fall Coat

Consider Layering: Go for a size that allows for layering so you can mix and match with sweaters, scarves, and other cold-weather essentials.

Material Matters: Choose fabrics based on your climate—opt for wool or shearling for colder temperatures and lightweight trench materials for milder falls.

Choose Your Color Palette: Fall is the season of warm, earthy tones, but don’t shy away from deeper jewel tones or classic blacks, grays, and tans for maximum versatility.
