AW 2013 Trends #4 - Coats

Previous trend post

The final fashion based trend I am going to look at is coats. Obviously, it wouldn't be AW without a coat, but I thought that I would give you a run-down of the three most popular styles from the catwalks, for this season. As normal, I am going to show you how to achieve the look on the high street. First coat trend is sleeveless. Now, this may not be the most practical in the winter, but it looks stylish and elegant. It might not be for everyone, but it will look amazing on. The next coat trend is Tomboy. So, this is parkas and bomber jackets that have a grungy edge to them. Think Cara Delevingne in coat form. The final coat trend is oversized. This doesn't mean big-boyfriend-styled coats. Think more of curved shoulders and cocooning the body.

Coats are a must for AW but don't feel that you must stick to these three styles. There are other coat styles that might suit you more, such as a Mac. I was quite surprised that I couldn't find more sleeveless coats, as it was massive on the catwalks. However, for the highstreet, I guess that sleeveless coats are far too impractical for AW. This post is going to be the last AW13 fashion based post. I am planning on doing a AW13 beauty & hair trends post, so look out for that.
Hope you enjoyed this post and have possibly found your AW13 coat.
