Outerwear Trend: Mixed Media Coats and Jackets
Mixed media outerwear is the trendy way to add flair to classic coat and jacket styles. These outerwear garments have come back in fashion season after season, making them a standard in fashion now. If you have not hopped aboard the mixed media coat train, now is the time. Here are five coats and jackets that make great use of this look.
Viga Spiga Women’s Pea Coat with Faux Leather Trim
Military coats were not originally created to be stylish. Fortunately, fashion designers noticed how well these coats look and have added their own twists to these outerwear garments. The pea coat always looks attractive and adds a touch of trendy chic for fall and winter wear. Up the inherent style factor with mixed media and you have a new staple in the making.
Vince Camuto Women’s Military Double Breasted Wool Coat
This is another military-inspired coat that makes use of mixed media. The high collar of this military coat allows you to forgo the bulky knit scarf to maintain your style on those cold mornings. In addition, it comes in a very deep, dark red making it easy to pair with most colors and prints. Wear to work over a dark navy suit to look good coming to and from the office.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Geo Tweed Wool Coats with Faux Leather Detail
What is more classic than tweed for fall and winter? This season tweed gets an upgrade by adding faux leather details as seen in this coat. Since tweed coats are classic for the fall/winter season, you can pretty much wear them any place that does not require formal attire.
Pencey Standard Women’s Moto Hoodie
Moto jackets are the stylish jacket to wear every fall season. Pair the rock edginess of the moto with the sportiness of a hoodie and you have a sporty chic look. Students especially are likely to gravitate to this moto as it can take them from class to campus party. Wear with jeans, a maxi skirt or maxi dress for effortless style.
Jones New York women’s Hidden Snap Notch Collar Coat
I am primarily a conservative dresser. Meaning I prefer to have classic pieces that will last me a few years and then add trendy items as accents. I love Jones New York because they do conservative chic very well. This mixed media leather coat is no exception. A classic single breast coat made from two types of leather. It is a coat that looks great with just about anything you will wear. A work to evening look for this coat is a white turtleneck paired with a brown leather skirt.
These five mixed media outerwear pieces are stylish and can be worn to various places. Along with a standard wool coat, add a mixed media piece to your fall/winter outerwear items. They are worth the investment and will be relevant for more than one season.
