If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation where your carefully styled outfit is entirely covered up by a winter coat, we may have a surprising style secret that can resolve this recurring comfort vs. style dilemma. One silent trend that has been hitting the streets over the past few seasons has been the idea of wearing a coat as a dress. Our favorite interpretation of this phenomenon is Leelee Sobieski’s styling of her beautiful, red Dior coat during Paris fashion week. Wearing only a metal cinched belt and nude pumps as accessories, she carried herself in a classy, lady-like demeanor.

In our own interpretation of the coatdress trend, we use a flirty red coat whose attached belt creates a figure-flaunting cinch at the waist. Adding some matching accessories is often key to making it look more like a planned outfit rather than any thrown-on coat. In our case, we incorporated gloves and heeled boots to add an extra level of dressiness into the look. The end result had us signing along to Anna Dello Russo’s over-the-top promotional H&M video: Lesson # 8 wear a coat as a dress.

Una de las tendencias que se ha colado sin hacer demasiado ruido en las últimas temporadas es la de llevar un abrigo a modo de vestido. Nuestra interpretación preferida de esta tendencia fue la de Leelee Sobieski en la semana de la moda de París con un abrigo rojo de Dior. Combinando el llamativo abrigo con unos salones en gris y un cinturón metálico capturó los flashes de muchos fotógrafos de streetstyle.

En nuestra propia interpretación de esta tendencia, usamos también un abrigo rojo combinándolo con accesorios en gris. El resultado final nos tuvo cantando al son del curioso vídeo de la campaña de la colección capsula de Anna dello Russo para H&M: Lección nº8 “Lleva un abrigo como vestido”.
