How to Wear a Statement Coat for Winter

Winter Outfit Idea: Nanushka Alamo Reversible Statement Coat, Black Cat-Eye Sunglasses, Chunky Hoop Earrings, Boyy Mini Bag, Levi's Wedgie Black Jeans and Wadler Isa Two-Tone Sqaure-Toe Boots

Every fall and winter I get excited to see what statement coats pop up, especially from Nanushka. This year I came across this beautiful houndstooth coat and fell in love. Best part is, it's a reversible coat so it's like having two stylish coats in one. Here's how I'd wear the coat this season—With black cat-eye sunglasses, chunky hoop earrings, a tiny black bag, classic black jeans, and statement two-tone ankle boots. Complete the look with a cozy black turtleneck sweater.

When it comes to wardrobe capsule items, the higher quality the better. It's hard to find a balance between the wild, wild world of fast fashion and luxury pieces that are actually affordable, but it can be done. Look for pure fabrics, and sustainable backings when searching for yours; and ask yourself: how many items can I wear this piece with? If none, skip it. If plenty, it's worth the investment. From classic black handbags to knits, these are the 25 under-$500 luxury items you should add to cart.
