NYFW Street Style Gallery: 6 Types Of Statement Coats You Need In Your Wardrobe Now

1. Statement Coat: Bright Colors

Bright colors can help beat the winter blues, lighten your mood, and make any ‘fit pop. This fashionista’s cropped puffer version complements the overall bold look while making the colors stand out.

2. Statement Coat: Fur Fabulous

Call it a “Mob Wife” look, a nod to hip-hop icons like Lil’ Kim, or an excuse to be over the top, but no matter how you describe it, everyone should have a fabulous fur. This fashion attendee leans into earth tones by complimenting her chocolate brown faux fur with a monochromatic green ‘fit. Her fit includes an olive green fitted top, forest green leather mini, and a large Telfar tote.

3. Statement Coat: Fur Fabulous

Cropped fur jackets can make as much of a statement as long-line ones. This is especially true if they are in an unexpected color.  Here, a fashionista rocks a chartreuse green faux fur jacket with a multi-colored sweatshirt and wide-leg pants.

4. Statement Coat: Everyday Stunner

Andrea Bossi shows how to elevate a versatile wardrobe staple into a fashion week must-have. She wears wide-leg beige houndstooth pants and a matching paper boy hat with a chocolate brown crop top. Her beige coat with wide lapels and a waist tie sets off her entire look and adds instant style. To make this look your own, pick an “anchor color” to match your coat and your overall fit. In Andrea’s example, the anchor color is beige.

5. Statement Coat: Everyday Stunner

Layering multiple pieces in the same color family is another way to elevate the classic everyday stunner in your closet. Here, a fashion attendee uses an oversized black maxi-coat to top off a black and grey look. She wears a grey pullover, a black leather skirt, and flat ballerina flats.

6. Statement Coat: Winter White

White is stunning to wear in the winter, though many of us shy away from it. But because of its rarity, it will always be a bold and chic statement choice. When choosing white for colder months, think of rich fabrics like thick wools, luxe cashmere, and faux furs in winter white shades of eggshell, ivory, cream, and light beige. This fashionista made her coat stand out even more with matching boots and a pillow-style purse.

7. Statement Coat: Animal Print

Animal print will forever be the cheat code to creating a head-turning look. The key to keeping this look classy, however, is not to overdo the print and let it shine. Outside of the Bevza show, Rajni Jacques wears an animal print fur coat with neutral blue denim pants and black shoes and accessories. 

8. Statement Coat: Animal Print

Wearing a monochromatic look is another way to elevate an animal print coat and make a statement. Outside of the Aknvas show, this fashion lover rocks a brown and white cow print coat with a brown turtleneck sweater, leather skirt, and black boots. In her hand is a maroon/brown clutch in the same color family. 

9. Statement Coat: Something Special

In order for a coat to make a statement to others, it must first speak to us.  This can be a coat that makes us smile, a coat that is filled with custom details, prints, colors, or fabrics, or a coat with a unique meaning or design. Here, Grievy wears a quilted, multi-colored padded jacket on top of mixed prints and bright colors.

10. Statement Coat: Something Special

Here is another example of a special statement coat. Outside Brandon Maxwell, a guest wears a grey and black polka dot coat with a contrasting tan and black polka dot print set and animal print heels. 

To all the fashionistas, remember to have fun with your clothes! And don’t be afraid to take risks with your statement coats in all seasons.
