Pins and Needles Faux Leather Collar Coat
One of the up-sides is having to say goodbye to summer is picking out a cool new toasty coat to keep you warm when winter shows up. Luckily, this Autumn/Winter was all about coats so there are loads of different outerwear trends to dip your toes into. One of our favourite coat styles, thanks to Dolce & Gabbana, is the androgynoustrend – and if you want to try this trend out with any conviction then you’re gonna want a boyfriend coat.
I completely love the slouchy, wide-shouldered style of the boyfriend coat because it gives a knowing nod to the sexy power-dressing era of the 80s. If you want to completely do it like a dude then team your sexy new coat with a pair of super-skinny jeans and brothel creepers with slicked-back hair – or if dressing like an eighties male pin-up isn’t your bag, the boyfriend coat will work just as well with a pretty minidress and heels for a cool masculine/feminine balance.
Our absolute favourite coat is the Pins and Needles coat from Urban Outfitters, which is dark wool with a leather collar for a nasty hard edge. All you need is a crisp high-necked shirt and a pencil skirt for an outfit that is both edgy and wearable at the same time.
