Here’s how to style an oversized coat this winter

If you love relaxed, effortless pieces that look like they’ve been borrowed from someone else’s wardrobe, an oversized coat is probably your favourite winter staple. Not only are these coats chic and cool, but they’re also incredibly practical. You can layer them over multiple pieces without feeling restricted – perfect for chilly days when warmth is key.

Choosing the right oversized coat is essential. Neutral shades like brown, grey, or beige are ideal if you want a versatile piece that matches everything. If you’re worried about being "swallowed" by the volume of the coat, opt for a belted style or one with a structured cut that flatters your figure. Remember, oversized coats are designed to have a roomy fit, so stick to your usual size for the perfect balance of style and comfort.

When it comes to styling, this "coat with character" works best with slim or straight-leg trousers. If you prefer skirts or dresses, go for midi or maxi lengths in fitted styles that complement the coat’s volume. Pair it with chunky-soled ankle boots or sleek knee-high boots, and complete the look with an oversized bag – or a mini one for a playful contrast.
