AW13: The must-have pink coat
← Back to Blog
Powder pink is the colour of the season, so why not combine two of AW13’s hottest trends with an over-sized pastel coat.
From sherbet shades to darker tones, pink is most definitely the season staple of AW13, and with its new lease of life it can look absolutely fabulous on just about anyone. Plus with so many different brands, styles and colours to choose from, the AW13 statement pink coat is absolutely perfect for any occasion. If pink just isn’t your colour or you’re struggling to work out the most flattering shade, fear not, we’ve got it covered. If you’re dark haired or olive skinned, pale, dusky pinks will compliment your complexion perfectly, or if you’re blonde haired and lighter skinned darker tones will look gorgeous with your paler complexion.
Wear it, work it:
For that ‘pretty-in-pink’ winter look, team a dusky coat with floral prints and patterns.
For a fashion mash-up, pair black skinny jeans or leather-look trousers with a dark sweater and biker boots, top with the statement pink coat to create that girl-on-the-street kind-of vibe.
For an icy winter look, team a pastel coloured coat with light neutral colours and subtle greys.
To create a smart and sophisticated look, don a darker toned coat and wear with black and white.
For a slightly edgier look, pair your statement coat with a little leopard print; maybe some heels, a scarf or even that must-have leopard print dress. That’s right, animal print is back with more bite than ever before.
