Oversized features have always been a show stealing function on Garments at Fall shows. This year it is the Coats. The coats have stollen the show for being the feature that is noticed the most on the catwalk. I have noticed the huge coats made from a number of different materials, and being shown by designs such as , Stella McCartney , Alexander Wang, and not to forget Jil Sander have been put with an underlying pencil skirt, or loosely fitted trousers. Surprisingly the coat has not been put with a thin trouser that would emphasis the oversized coat. However it has been seen to be put with the bear leg from designers such as Chloe.
I think this style will rock the streets of London, New York, Milan and Paris all winter long. The way the coats flow, and smother the body is what makes them the most successful garment I believe this Winter. It smothers the body, which then emphasises other sections of the body resulting in them looking more defined , as they are being compared to the size of the coat;.
I think the oversized coat is also a perfect garment to have for casual wear, and for work wear. The double breasted and single breasted selection means that you have those two options to help you realise what you suit best. The single buttoned coat will look better un done and will flow in a more athletically pleasing way. However the double breasted coat will draw the waist inwards.
Mixing a belt with the coat in a contrasting colour will also draw attention to the buckling of the waist. Your eye is more attracted to the contrasting colour, there for royal blues, and dark reds will be the perfect shades to go against the dark outfits you may be wearing this A/W.
