Breaking out a loud plaid statement coat for the Trend Spin Link-up.
Who says your outerwear has to be basic? I like mixing in loud prints (as you’ve seen ’round here recently) to shake things up. This red and blue plaid statement coat is an old Zara fave and adds some serious punch to a look. (Looking for your own statement coat? Try here and here, and I love this floral number.) I layered it over a velvet bodysuit, raw-hemmed skinnies, and a pair of poppy red suede pumps. Not only is it bright + fun (to combat those impending winter blues), but it’s right up my alley in my alma mater’s colors. (Rock chalk!)
Shop the look:
Ah, the power of a plaid statement coatâ you can’t beat it! I love this coat for the office (really punches up basic black trousers + sweaters), and also over winter dresses with tights and boots.

Linking up today to co-host the Trend Spin link-up with Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels and Erin from The Fashion Canvas. We’re showcasing our fave winter-ready looks; come link up!
The colors in this coat are oddly appealing to me. I tend to shy away from anything too “Americana” looking, but these colors look lovely! I also love the slit detail on the ankle of your jeans! (:
I LOVE that coat! The colors are so beautiful and vibrant. I love how you pulled out the red with the addition of the shoes; great styling! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day, girl!
This statement coat is everything babe! I love how you keep everything else to a minimal to let the coat speaks for itself! Just gorgeous!
