maxi coat cool

I am so obsessed with maxi coats right now, especially when they're paired with denim and a classic sneaker like Converse Chucks or Adidas Superstars. To get a similar look, try this coat with this sweater, these jeans and these kicks.

 One of the most beautifully styled and photographed editorials I've seen in a long time. The voluminous, simple menswear-inspired coats are perfection. I'm actually really excited for fall, its my favorite season.

PS- Sorry for the absence guys, sometimes I go through "inspiration droughts". I'm sure you've all been there.

A long coat adds a little bit of drama to a look, just make sure its not so long that its dragging on the ground. Try here or here.

This might be the year for me to get a new fall/winter coat. I have two classics that I've worn the past two or three years: a long black funnel-neck wool coat from Club Monaco and a black funnel-neck wool peacoat from Gap. I also bought this wool poncho in dark grey from Zara. Maybe a camel-hued coat this year?
