Happy Friday everyone.
This week has really felt like the beginning of winter, the mornings are dark and cold matching the ever shortening evenings.
With that said, I have been searching for a great winter coat. As you probably know, in the UK a coat usually becomes your entire outfit during this season. I've sold a few of my older ones on Vinted (very late to the Vinted game but I am LOVING using it), to make room for new one and I thought I would share some of the best I've seen so far.
1.
We've seen chocolate brown in latte makeup, milk-tea hair on tiktok and this tonal trend isn't going anywhere. This gorgeous Topshop coat is maxi in length with statement buttons down the front. Paired with light denim and a white tee? The perfect combination.
2.
A brushed bomber jacket has been a micro trend for the past two seasons, I've seen even more on the market this season, but a lot of friends have mentioned that they have had theirs for a couple of years now. This one from River Island caught my eye in store, the shape is really flattering and the colour has more depth than a lot of greys on the market.
3.
Pillarbox red. The colour of the season, right? I admit, red has always been my favourite colour to wear, so this trend makes me think about how fast trends come and go, but for now it's perfect. I haven't had to buy anything to lean into this trend, my wardrobe has done the work for me!
4.
There is something about a leather jacket which will never date. You can opt for statement hardware or minimal buttons, which I am starting to see more commonly, in an oversized fit like the one above from Edit Second Hand to give your outfit a laid back feel. I still love a cropped leather jacket, but do feel myself leaning towards a looser fit these days.
So, which winter coat is on your 2023 Wishlist? Let me know, x
