Yes, Leather Coats Are Elevated—But the Chicest Dressers I Know Keep Choosing This Sophisticated Style
The most elegant buy.
Take it from Jennifer Lawrence: this season, the chicest dressers are looking beyond leather coats in favour of something, dare I say, even more elevated: satin. With its subtle sheen and glossy finish, a satin coat is one of the most sophisticated layers to consider for the months ahead.
Still relatively fresh on the scene, the lightweight jacket trend has come to the fore alongside the rising popularity of opera coats and housecoats, tapping into a wider shift towards more decadent dressing this winter.
Choosing a satin style in the brightest shade of cream, Jennifer introduced an entirely new level of luxuriousness to her outfit. Worn over white trousers and paired with fur-trimmed flip-flops, her coat brought polish, whilst her covetable tassel-trimmed scarf swept around her neck added another considered detail.
Of course, longline leather coats will always have their place in an elegant evening wardrobe, but this season's satin alternatives offer a different kind of appeal. Lighter and more fluid, they work beautifully over dresses, maintaining a streamlined silhouette while adding a luxurious finish. Equally, I love the idea of wearing one with jeans and a simple T-shirt for a more relaxed take on elevated everyday dressing.
If there's one new-season outerwear trend I'd recommend considering, it's the satin coat. Read on to shop the most sophisticated styles below.
