Gaultier has gifted us the ability to wear fur sans the feeling we belong in a hip-hop video. The cinched waist and and high tailoring of coats for this fall remain consistent with the 40's/50's/60's era that has taken over the runways. Everyone can release their inner Mad Menand go full speed ahead with fur. Another common trend for coats this fall was taffeta, surprisingly, and wool, not so surprisingly. Carolina Herrera, the queen of class, really focused on accentuating womanly curves. Who says you have to look like a bulky polar bear in the winter? For those of us who plan on forgoing the holiday eating, this style of coat is perfect! In fact, many of this fall's coats look like dresses themselves. You can remain sexy and classy without freezing your you-know-what off!
For a little more opulence look no further than Dior and Wu. The fashions they previewed at fashion week are bound to take off. Everything from fur, to structure, to forgiving silhouettes were incorporated into these lines. Your inner Blair Waldorf will be begging you to buy yourself a fur lined peacoat like Dior's below.
Finally, lets talk bulk! Bulk as in fabric, fabric, and more fabric. Designers like Marc Jacobs and Gaultier experimented with not accentuating womanly curves, but hiding them. You're sure to look warm in these bulky creations. And for those readers who plan on taking part in the holiday eating festivities these coats over a great alternative to looking fabulous and still hiding those inevitable extra lbs.For affordable options make sure to keep an eye out for these styles in your local Forever 21 and Banana Republic.
