FashionOutfit ideasOctober 15, 2024

Let’s explore the fresh coat silhouettes for Autumn/Winter 24-25! We’ve taken inspiration directly from the runways but with a focus on timeless pieces. Yes, we’re talking about new shapes that will last beyond the trends. Confused? Don’t worry, let’s break it down: being timeless doesn’t mean sticking to the classics. A timeless coat has a design interesting enough to stay in your wardrobe for years. It might be a classic cut or something entirely new, but it has that special quality that transcends trends and holds its relevance. A classic, on the other hand, refers to a piece anchored in a specific era of fashion history, like the trench coat or the little black dress. Are you ready to discover the best timeless coats to invest in for AW24-25?

PLAID COATS

Chanel – Celine – Schiaparelli

Plaid, or tartan, remains a wardrobe staple, but this season, designers have reimagined it with unique twists. Chanel is giving us 1930s vibes with a low-belted, ultra-chic look, while Schiaparelli draws on its surrealist heritage with a cinched waist and statement buttons. Celine, on the other hand, taps into 60s style with a mini coat-dress paired with high boots.

ANIMAL PRINT COATS

Christian Dior – Stella McCartney – Celine – COS

Leopard print is so iconic, that it’s practically neutral. As Leandra Cohen famously said, “Leopard is as classic as black,” and we couldn’t agree more. This season, Celine, Christian Dior, and COS offer their takes on this enduring print, with some opting for bold new patterns like COS’s cow print.
