With the leaves changing and the cold weather looming, it is time you look for a new coat/jacket to spruce up your closet. Coats/Jackets are not an afterthought here at Loading Potential- they play an integral part when we are planning our outfits. We interchange our coats/jackets based on how we feel and we buy coats/jackets based on needs, trends and down right, “I WANT IT” ! As a major piece in your wardrobe, it is important to see coats/jackets as an investment piece. We encourage you to experiment with colours, textures and shapes and ensure that you’re kept warm and are equally as fashionable.
Here are our top coat/jacket picks for FW 22
The WEEKENDER
The TNA Super Puff
Lets kick it off lightly … the beloved TNA Super Puff is a staple in our closets and is perfect for everyone. Whether you are running errands on these cold winter days or going outside for some fresh air, the down filled parka will guarantee to keep you warm. The Super Puff comes in 4 lengths and is excellent when paired with a flared legging, new balance trainers or with Levis loose denim and mini chestnut UGG’s. Follow the trend on this one.
The Influencer
Toteme- Robe Coat
It’s everywhere and for good reason, the highly coveted Totême coat is revered by all age groups. The simple yet sophisticated design features long sleeve brushed knit wool coat with a unique take on a waist tie. Totême’s ethos were built around the concept of a modern uniform and they have achieved just that with this coat. Pair this coat with a chunky boat and a big bag (read our post on Big Bag Energy for inspo) to complete the look.
The ‘IT’ Girl
Diesel- Black W-Abelia Faux-Leather Coat
Once you put on this Diesel coat you will be the topic of conversation. Featuring black insulated faux-patent leather and faux-fur trim throughout, the beautiful mesh of masculine and feminine materials sets this coat apart. Pop out with coat at Saturday dinner, paired with closed toe wrap around heels. This is what you wear when you want to be noticed and remembered.
The Minimalist
Cos – Belted Wool Blend Coat
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? This Cos coat is the most beautiful addition to your closet. At a great price point, it will easily become the most interchangeable item you own. Dress it up, down, with sneakers, with heels, with a gown anywhere and anytime you will reach for this stunning minimalist piece. We suggest pairing this coat with flared coloured corduroy pants, or on top of a semi-sheer skirt. Wear it opened or closed and pair with the Staud Moon Bag in red (see posted in The Best Designer Bags Under $1000 post).
The Frankie
The Frankie Shop- Black Astra Bomber Jacket
The Frankie Shop Astra bomber has been sitting in my SSENSE cart for about two months now. The oversizedness of it all is where the sex appeal lies. Imagine wearing this masculine bomber with a fitted maxi dress and white pumps *chef kiss*. We love mixing up our style based on our moods and this bomber does just that. The garment features a classic bomber design while an oversized padded construction creates a modern feel. Follow the trend on this one … You need the bomber !!!
The Investment
Dries Van Noten- Rilke Zebra Stripe Overcoat
It’s steep, we know! This investment piece features a longline overcoat from Van Noten’s ’70s-leaning collection inspired by architect Carlo Mollino’s snapshots. This overcoat is art and must be treated as such. As an investment piece we always recommend purchasing something you will keep for seasons to come, this overcoat does just that and is one of the best expressions of fashion and daringness. No suggestions on styling this coat ...whatever you choose to pair this coat with is a WIN.
Motorsport
Zara – Faux Leather Zippered Jacket
This style of jacket will separate you from the masses. The tailored, sporty jacket pulls on immense personal style and has just the right amount of WOW factor. Inspired by biking culture, the edge in this jacket easily lends it to be the statement of your outfit. Pair with a leather skirt and under the knee leather boots for a night out or with a trusty white tank and a loose jean for a day outfit. This is a trend we forecast will be seen almost everywhere…get ahead of the curve!
