Over-Sized Menswear Coats

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Lexi

Fall trend alert: over-sized menswear coats.  Menswear-inspired trends come and go in women’s fashion; some I like, some I’m neutral on. Tailored menswear trousers – always a win. The classic button-down – though fabulous on most women – not particularly flattering on me (I’m convinced I drown in the crisp collar!) Boyfriend jeans – my obsession.

And the over-sized tweed menswear-inspired coat – it’s my latest love. A bit boxy, full of texture and drama, it can be draped over the shoulders or layered to fight against the Fall chill.  I’m this close to snatching up this fabulous menswear coat from the new Topshop for Nordstrom collection — it has a detachable faux fur collar. #win

My favorite menswear-inspired coats of late …

 

Or, you could always steal your boyfriend/husband/significant-other’s coat!
