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.

There are seriously few things that I love as much as a good jacket (probably because it’s jacket weather where I am for a good 6 months of the year) and this one is great!
You know I’m game for a good jacket, too! 🙂 Thanks, doll!
I love fun coats and this one is amazing! The plaid is perfect and it looks adorable with your red shoes! Great look!!

Thanks, girlfriend! Hope you had a great new year!
That is a statement coat indeed. I have yet to find the perfect plaid coat. Love yours. I need/want/must have that gorgeous black velvet bodysuit. Is it recent? Please tell me! Also, fierce and fun red-orange pumps!
Happy New Year’s Lady! Hope you had a Fabulous Birthday!

A bright coat is a fabulous way to make the winter months a bit more cheerful!
And I got that same bodysuit, I’m really loving the clean lines and ‘perfect tuck’ – so nice. http://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/
Right? I love a bodysuit with a higher-waisted pair of jeans! MAGIC!
Ashley,
Thanks for the coat and pump inspiration. Your plaid coat is so adorable and I love how you complemented it with the red pumps! Happy New Year!
Ah yes I remember this coat, it is awesome, I am thinking of getting a coat from Zara as they are having a sale…whooeee. And love the red pumps too, who doesn’t need a pair of red pumps in their life 🙂

I was lucky to stumble across this coat at Zara a few years back- I love it!
And yes, the bodysuit is current- I linked it in the post directly (under each photo). I think they still have a few sizes left- you should check!
I’m dying over this coat! So adorable.
