Coat-ed in style: Tips to make classy sartorial statements this winter

Winter is here and it’s time to layer but that doesn’t mean you have to keep it drab. Here are some tips from fashion designers on how to keep yourself warm and stylish.

It’s that time of the year again, when you can layer like a boss to make classy sartorial statements. If you don’t like bulking up with sweaters, robe-style coats are the way to go. “One can wear long coats with skinny jeans, leggings and boots or over a dress with high heels. If you like to experiment, wear a belted trench-style coat like a dress with stockings and long boots,” says designer Pawan Sachdeva.

Trench coats, pea jackets and other overcoats have always remained in vogue, but a little style experimentation is the way forward.

Neha Dhupia looks absolutely casual and chic in ripped jeans paired with a black coat and matching brogues.

Kangana Ranaut opts for a Paris street style look as she pairs her short dress with a long coat and flats.

“Every winter we see an iconic trend from the past being reinterpreted on the runway. Long coats look beautiful when used for layering or using it as a key piece in your ensemble. A sharp feminine suit with a long coat sitting beautifully on the shoulders makes it a head turner,” says designer Anand Bhushan.
