Winter coat season is here.
As you go in search of a new outerwear purchase to see you through to the new year, may we suggest steering clear of the safe styles for something a little more showstopping
Sure, a classic black overcoat or belted tan number may be timeless, but really, nothing turns heads quite like a sassy statement number.
Designers from Valentino to Calvin Klein, Gucci to Versace have all approved 'the bolder the coat, the better' aesthetic this winter. And celebrities have already jumped on the bandwagon.
If you need a little nudge to make room in your wardrobe for a vibrant, fun and all round eye-catching item of outwear, take note from these stylish celebs.
Rainbow Stripes
Julia Roberts stepped out in New York wearing a unmissable striped rainbow coat from Valentino's spring/summer 2019 collection.
Although the colour overload is by no means subtle, offset by the classic trench coat silhouette, it manages to be statement yet stylish.
