Not Everyone Will Like This Coat Colour, But People Who Follow Fashion Will
Ready your winter wardrobe—this surprising coat colour trend is about to take off.
In my opinion, winter's arrival is no excuse to resign yourself to a rotation of black, beige and brown. As the days grow drearier and the nights draw in, I'd argue it's actually the perfect time to introduce some colour into your wardrobe, if only for the mood-boosting benefits. Which is exactly why I'll be taking my winter styling cues from Hailey Bieber, who this week brought a welcome pop of cobalt blue to an otherwise all-black outfit.
A favourite shade among fashion insiders, this punchy blue is poised to have a major moment this season, as a wider shift towards bolder, more attention-grabbing colours gathers momentum.
Among the first celebrities I've spotted embracing the trend this season, Hailey Bieber swapped the predictable beige wrap coat for a sleek, single-breasted style in the striking shade. And while Bieber might be among the first to champion the colour this season, brands are already delivering chic outerwear in the vibrant hue—all signs that this trend is one to watch.
If you're looking for an easy way to breathe new life into your winter rotation, read on to shop the cobalt-blue coats I'm recommending below.
