What Colour Coat?

When I get asked the one colour coat I can't live without - here's is my answer! But 3 years ago it was different...

Pack away your tshirts, it’s knits and coats season. But that also means investment pieces that keep you warm. So which colour coat is the best option?….

I would say a NEUTRAL colour is my top pick. I live in my tan trench coat in transeasonal weather through Autumn and Spring, and then switch to my tan wool blend coat for Winter. Going back through my Instagram you will see me styling these coats over and over the past three years - but prior to that it was a different shade… scroll down to find out more!

3. TAN COAT

It’s just the perfect shade to go with other colours and prints, looks sophisticated for work style and evening outfits, and is timeless! Try a lightweight trench, perfect for layering, or opt for a wool blend heavier coat. I love a waist tie as it cinches and gives you shape. I also love a structured shoulder as this makes it easier to wear it dressier. Tap to SHOP »

2. GREY COAT

Five years ago I invested in a grey coat, see below (a birthday gift to myself!). It felt like such a splurge at the time, but I’ve worn it through four Winters! Yes premium quality can cost more, but it’s 100% Australian wool it is SO warm, breathable, and has lasted for years. It no longer comes in grey but does come in black, tan (woohoo!) and a few other shades… and is worth every $!! Tap for COAT »

3. COLOURED COAT

Already own a neutral colour coat? Or just want something a bit different? Why not try a coloured coat!! It can be a soft blue or bright berry, and can add so much fun to your Winter outfits. Everytime I wear this blue coat (below) I get stopped in the street!

I keep the rest of the outfit simple, understated - but alwayes feel so FUN in a colour! I found a gorgeous style below, with fabulous button down detail at the side and back seams (LOVE!), is 50% wool - and it’s on sale! Tap to SHOP »

Blue not for you? I get it, I’ve found plenty of other shades, from red to burgundy, khaki to navy! Here are a few other styles I’ve shared over the years for colour inspo… Tap to SHOP »
