The beauty of a leopard coat is that it’s so statement-making on its own you don’t really need to put much effort into the rest of the look. Add a tee or knit, jeans, and ankle boots, and you’re all set.
Shop the look:
At first glance, this layered ensemble feels very high-concept, but it’s actually quite easy to put together. Grab a pair of checked pants, a knit, and a coordinating blazer. Then, just toss on a printed coat with boots. Done and done.
Shop the look:
Live in denim? Give this outfit a whirl by grabbing your favorite pair of jeans and a chambray top, completing the look with your most eye-catching coat (to add dimension) and sneakers.
Shop the look:
A puffer vest (or any type of vest or outer layer) is so fashion-forward with your go-to colorful sweater, on-trend corduroy trousers, and flat hiking boots. If you really want to go for it, add in a colorful belt to tie the entire look together.
Shop the look:
When you really don't want to think about putting together a look but need something sophisticated, don't underestimate the power of a tailored suit. All you need to do is throw it on and add a turtleneck and boots—you'll be good to go.
Shop the look:
