Fall's Hottest Coats!


So I've noticed that not only is it starting to get a little cold outside, but I also see that coats are being sold EVERYWHERE. I also see the celebrities (such as Jessica Alba) wearing them. So I thought, why not write about the hottest coats that are around.
The coats that I've been seeing lately have been looking really good. You can dress them up or dress them down and still use the same style. Whereas before, there used to be "dressy" coats or "casual" coats. Now, I see people using the same coat in various ways.
Let's take Jessica Alba here, for example. She dressed up this nice, black, wool pea coat with a simple black dress and heels. I think she looks great. But if you have a coat like this and you want to dress it down a bit, I suggest working this coat with jeans and a casual top, such as a button down or a sweater, and cute heels or flats. Now with this length of a coat, I suggest working this with skinny, boot cut, or flared jeans. If you're more into the wide legged jeans, I say go for a shorter cut. If you wanna accessorize your coat, you can never go wrong with a long necklace or pendant. This look would not only look great with a black coat, but also with a cream colored one.
Now you don't always have to stick with the rules and go with a black coat. I've also seen a lot of red coats, too, which is awkward for me because I'm usually not a red kind of person. But I think that this is a look that some of you fashion savvy people can pull off. You can pull off a red coat by pairing it with a black dress or maybe black skinny jeans and a cute sweater or button down. I think this would give your look a more "funky"/ "retro" vibe, especially with that splash of red.
So now that I gave you some tips on looking hott while trying to stay warm, I hope that you can use this advice and maybe spice it up with your own imagination. Till next time.

I actually bought a brand new Coach trenchcoat last spring and its my favorite thing. The only problem with it is I feel like I have no where to wear it. Its not warm enough for the winter so theres only a limited number of times I can wear it. It's also really fancy so that limits the places I can wear it to.
