Style Coverage: Oversized Coat






Spotted: pastel oversized coat!  The oversized coat has been one of the biggest trends in the fall of 2013.  Not only is it featured on the runway, it is also a trend that is apparent in Korean dramas and Prime Minister and I is no different.  Nam Da Jeong (YoonA) wears a purplish pink oversized coat with a bow blouse to add a more feminine touch.  The pastel colour lightens up the look as oversize coats can look a little bulky and heavy.

SOME TIPS FOR PICKING AN OVERSIZED COAT:


1. Pick something with more structure
The silhouette of an oversized coat is not an easy one to pull off.  It is often inspired by menswear and hides feminine curves.  Pick one that has a flattering cut that accentuates the body despite being, yes, oversized.

2. Pick a lighter colour
A pretty colour will lighten up your look especially when you're covered in too much fabric!
