Oversized styles will add instant flair (and warmth) to any style or outfit
The oversized coat
An oversized coat adds instant cool points to an outfit, presenting casual confidence with minimal effort. For a foundational piece that retains its elegance into the evening, Róhe’s faux fur-trimmed ‘Ezra’ style – another NET-A-PORTER exclusive – looks great with both eveningwear and layered over off-duty denim. For the office, embrace the cocooning shape of Toteme’s ‘Shield’ double-breasted coat, which looks sensational layered over sleek tailoring. Alternatively, for something with more everyday appeal, try Calvin Klein Collection’s ‘Beatrice’ coat in wool and cashmere-blend – it’s a style you’ll reach for time and time again.
