The Boyfriend Coat


By IMAGE
19th Nov 2013

Wrap up your fashion credentials this winter and tackle the boyfriend coat trend. This season’s must-have outerwear has fashionably evolved from the boyfriend blazer and given us a reason to embrace our masculinity and opt for a more nonchalant, tailored look. Characterized by its boxier shape, elongated pockets and often, but not always, double-breasted lapel.

If you want to keep your over-all look more feminine, wear something more fitted underneath to avoid looking frumpy. Invest in a trusty camel option or be daring with pink and purple shades.

Get inspired with our chic selection of winter favourites!

1. River Island // 2. H&M // 3. Zara // 4. Asos // 5. Net-a-porter
