Whilst there has been a lot of talk about neutral colours this winter especially when it comes to coats, with navy and camel being by far the most popular, some people like to be a little bit different and stand out from the crowd. Neutral coats certainly have a lot of benefits in terms of being versatile and long lasting but a statement coat is just so much more exciting.
A statement coat works for people who like to catch peoples attention and be instantly recognisable when they are out and about. They are not for shrinking violets or people who prefer to sink into the shadows unnoticed. You can make your statement anyway you wish. Using colour, pattern, shape, texture or embellishment but you should ensure that your statement coat will either completely cover your clothes or go with the clothes that you are likely to wear it with. Wearing a bright red coat is great but if all your clothes are also red it may look a little too much. You should also consider your outdoor footwear and how it will work with your statement coat. A good neutral pair of shoes or boots will usually go with most coats. AÂ statement pair of shoes or a statement hand bag will probably compete with your coat and look too much.
You can find some great statement coats which follow some of the seasons key trends or you can choose something completely different which will really set you apart from the crowd.
The Floral Coat
Floral patterns don’t just have to be limited to dresses and blouses, this rose print teal coat with long sleeves And buttons is the perfect way to work florals as outer wear. This coat is great for wearing to work with grey, brown and black trousers and can be brightened up with a bright pink scarf.

As we move towards the end of the summer, it is time to start preparing for the colder weather and putting a little thought into the subject of winter coats. This winter, there will be two contrasting trends for coats statement winter coats and versatile classic coats in colours which include navy and camel. The camel coat is being described as the must have coat for everyone in the fashion know this season due to its versatile colour. But a camel coat is not for everyone. Some people prefer to be a little bit different and have their own unique style. For those wanting to look individual and stand out from the crowd, the statement coat is the best option. These are the coats that make a statement using colour, pattern, shape or texture. These are the coats that will be the key feature of the outfit and the coats that are bound to become a talking point. Many of the more luxurious styles of statement coat also work really well as an evening coat to wear on a night out for for a special occasion.
This winter some of the biggest statements will be made with texture – think faux fur, velvet and shearling and with pattern – think animal prints. There will also be a range of different shapes from long military styles to cape styles.
The deep colours of this magenta and lime shoulder detail long sleeved coat are what makes it so special. It also has a very on tremd shape with its pointed shoulders. It would look great with a pair of bright pink tights and some winter boots.
We just don’t seem to be able to get away from animal print this year but that is not a bad thing. This animal print coat has a small scale print in really versatile black and grey colours. The collar, buttons and pocket edges are made with velvet for a touch of luxury.
With many of the big catwalk shows featuring voluminous faux fur coats including Chanel, it looks like faux fur is going to be huge this year. This coat is perfect for snuggling up in on the coldest of winter days but it also looks amazingly stylish. Great for every day wear or evenings.
This dip dye boiled wool coat is a great way to follow the trend for cape shaped coats but also get a classic coat that will last for many years to come. The striking dip dye effect in black and white make it really unique.
Another great coat for keeping toasty warm on cold days this charcoal suedette faux fur trim coat is an incredibly versatile colour that will go with anything. At the same time it is incredibly luxurious and elegant.
This black and ivory animal print coat is definitely for those who like to get noticed. Its voluminous shape and bold pattern make it instantly eye catching. This coat will look best when the volume is balanced with slim fit trousers or skirts.
