White coats are snowballing as the latest outerwear trend. They're bold, cozy, and the best foray into the season without actually having to freeze. That said, there's a right and wrong way to bundle up in them . . . the proof is in these examples of Kate Moss and Eva Longoria.
| Kate Moss: Kate knows how to rock every piece of clothing she owns and a bold white coat is no exception.
Coat: Staying true to her street-chic style, she dons a fancy fur-trim coat yet makes it look casual and effortless. Shoes: Though she's wearing a stark white coat, she knows better than to go matchy matchy with her footwear. Instead, her suede over-the-knee boots give her a rock 'n roll edge. Accessories: Because her outerwear is loud, Kate kept the accessories to a bare minimum: a simple clutch and no jewels. |
Eva Longoria: The actress opted for a long white coat to keep her fully covered.
Coat: Because she's petite, the long coat is overbearing. Still, the slight flare at the bottom and tie-waist belt lend a girly flair. Shoes: Pairing UGGs with a classy coat took the look from potentially chic to tacky and immature. They make her legs look unnecessarily stumpy. Accessories: Can you tell Eva loves to pile on the accessories? A white fedora, jumbo black patent bag, and a tassel — it's all too much. Less would have been way more. |
I like this look, as long as there's no fur!
