Winter Style: Corset Coat. | Ashley from Le Stylo Rouge

Corset Coat + Patent Boots.

The corset coat proves that while winter is here, it doesn’t have to be boring.

Everyone needs a ridiculous coat, right? (Right, Ashley, right.) I spotted this black corset coat at ASOS (psst, it’s on mega sale right now for under $45!) and had to have it. It was silly and super fun– plus I was very curious if a puffer coat (i.e., a known figure-swallower) flattering. Could it be done?

Indeed, yes! This corset coat (and yes, those are working corset strings; pull ’em as tight as you want!) was a great alternative to the oversized orange version I wore last week. I pulled it on with a pair of high-waisted black denim and black patent boots for an all-black, all-badass look. And, again, functional fashion: this sucker is quite warm.

Don’t mind me if I add a few more puffer jackets to the wardrobe. Oversized, cropped, hooded– I am down.  They’re cozy as can be, and with fashion-forward styling like a corset, you can be sure you’ll stand out in a crowd of basic parkas and wool peacoats. This corset coat also comes in a gorgeous bright red (with a printed corset!) and is on sale, if you really want to knock ’em dead. (It’s in my cart right now.)

Speaking of cozy, check back Thursday: I’m sharing all my cozy favorites right now (many of which are on sale). I don’t know about you, but January is all about getting warm and staying that way. Thursday’s post aims to do just that.

  1. What a stylish look! Also, I love when groups (like women) re-claim things that were once a source of oppression and convert them into something positive. That’s a significant political act which I always applaud.

  2. You have been slaying with fantastic coats recently! This is so fun, love the corset detail. Looking as gorgeous as ever and loving how light your hair is!

    1. Thanks, girlfriend! And isn’t this coat fun? I had to have it- and thank you about my hair! The Path to Platinum continues!

  3. LOL I love that you wanted a flattering puffer coat. Who knew such a thing existed? I thought I was doomed to look like the brother from A Christmas Story for all of winter. Love it on you!

  4. How cool and trendy is this coat?! I’ve been seeing the corset trend in so many forms, but not like this. This really is a unique way to do it, while keeping warm and not to mention, it cinches the waist in a piece that would otherwise conceal it. Thanks for sharing, girl, and I hope you have a great week!

    1. I have a few coats like that- sometimes I’m totally down because I just want to wear a sleeping bag, lol, but this gives you a more flattering option!

    1. Aw, thanks so much, lady! I like to try out the trends- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, haha. But I love this jacket!
