#3 Statement Coats

Vibrant colours, edgy patterns, funky fabrics – it’s fair game when it comes to making a bold statement in coat design this year. In fact, the more unique, the better. On the runway, 2017 trends saw patchwork designs that redefined “quilted” with graphic shapes, furs and muted hues; vinyl and other “wet plastic”-esque fabrics were a huge hit, popping up at Loewe, Dior, Isabel Marant and Lavin shows; and finally, leopard prints made a prominent appearance at Prada, Moshcino, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and Bottega Veneta. This print would make even the most mild-mannered woman feel fierce.

So go ahead and make a statement this winter!
