Think big and become larger than life this season with your cool fall outerwear reaching new heights and oversized proportions. The cool coat silhouette is impeccably tailored for a classic menswear vibe with sloped shoulders and wrappable features that allow you to bundle up and get cozy this fall.
While big is beautiful, this vintage meets boyish shape is created in long lengths with slouchy shoulders, pillow sleeves and plenty of room, perfect for warm layers in a cocoon styled coat.
Although the shape is not the most flattering for your figure, the key to wearing this outerwear trend is balance. To unlock maximum volume consider proportions and the rule of opposites attract. Contrast your voluminous coat with sleek and slim pairings like a razor thin pencil skirt or fitted trousers to create the illusion of a shapelier figure. Play with bold details in your oversized coat like large lapels or spacious pockets to add a streamlined, structured cut and edge.
The ease and effortlessness of an oversized coat is much like throwing on a comfy blanket to beat the seasonal chill with subtle drama and modern elegance. Get wrapped up today with this supersized silhouette in the shape of oversized coats.
