Winter Weekend Look: The Statement Jacket


A big trend for Fall/Winter 2011, due to the colder weather, is coats. And what we're seeing on the runway is that this style no longer serves as just a practical function, but it is now the statement piece of the outfit. Designers such as Versace and Michael Kors as well as major retailers like J.Crew and Madewell offer a variety of designs such as fur-trimmed jackets, bold colored coats in canary yellow and rouge red, 40's inspired capes and outwear in a mix of textures.

We've translated this trend for a casual weekend look, appropriate for this holiday season. We selected this military-inspired coat from 62nd Street Boutique, a store in the LA Fashion District. This stylish, army green coat has unique features such as the zipper details and leather lining and belt. We've toned down the edgy element of the outerwear by styling it with laid-back and feminine pieces like the graphic T-shirt and the printed bubble skirt. We topped it off with some elegant pearls to accentuate the festive season. And as a result, we've created a stylish and comfortable outfit to wear for the many occassions this holiday season, from lunch with friends to Christmas shopping!
