The Maximalist Outerwear I’m Eyeing for the Chillier Months Ahead
Maximalist outerwear is rejuvenating my autumn wardrobe as I embrace bolder choices.
I’m all in for the dramatic by Angela Melero
When it comes to outerwear, I can appreciate the significance of a classic capsule wardrobe. Investing in a timeless khaki trench or a fitted black pea coat is always a wise decision, as these pieces stand the test of time. Yet, let’s face it—fashion thrives on creativity and innovation, necessitating a sprinkle of flair in our attire. Each season, as I browse through the exciting maximalist outerwear trends, I find it hard to resist adding a flamboyant piece or two to elevate my typical fall outfit.
The beauty of a statement coat or jacket lies in its simplicity; it has the power to transform a regular look into something noteworthy with minimal effort. A longline faux fur coat or one with fur trim is my go-to this fall and winter—it adds instant drama over denim and a basic tee, turning any outfit into a stylish moment. This season, I am also enamored with embellished leather jackets, which are especially trendy. Brands like Retrofête are amplifying this classic rock-inspired staple with striking rhinestone embellishments and edgy grommet details.
