Fall Fashion Watch: The Robe Coat

How to Wear the Robe Coat Right

One of the trends in outerwear this fall is the robe coat, but wearing it without the right accompaniments will make for a bulky, unappealing look. A slouchy wide leg pant may be too overwhelming for some body types with this robust coat. But skinny jeans paired with a long cow-neck sweater and some peeptoe booties under a cinched-in robe coat is definitely a chic look.  Do you want to take your look from ordinary to luxe? A black robe coat that hides a neon bodycon dress, black tights, and a black platform pump will turn heads. Actress Naomi Harris got it right with a Burberry brocade robe coat over a silky mid-length dress and a POC with velvet open toe pumps seen here covered by bloggers Tom & Lorenzo.  How else would you wear a robe coat…the right way?
