Outerwear: Elegance that Starts Before Coat Check

When we’re heading out for the evening, getting ready starts with our hair, makeup, and clothes. But once the weather turns cooler, the final touch ends with our coat. We’ve just put all this effort into looking good, so let’s not blow it here. It really is important to have a coat that will work in the evening, and that can mean anything from a stylish coat to work with jeans or a cute dress for a nice dinner to something that can be worn over a cocktail dress. With the diversity of outerwear styles this season, we have beautiful – and functional – options that will surely make the Coat Check jealous.
Let us know what you think in the comments below. Check back tomorrow for “Outerwear: Effortless Style, Regardless of What’s Underneath”. Whatever the occasion, we’ve got you covered.

Does it get any more luxurious than this? The combination of exquisite shearling, and functionality of a full zipper on the asymmetrical closure makes this an investment worth every penny. The shearling fur is left long, which is so elegant and gives this Vince coat that extra posh touch. You can effortlessly wear this with dresses, as easily as you can play with contrast by wearing it with jeans. This coat is an absolute dream – it makes us wish it were cold out (and that’s saying a lot). It also comes in a gorgeous soft tan latte color. You cannot go wrong with either.

We talked about Cinzia Rocca earlier this week – since 1953, they’ve been making exceptional coats in an easier fit, from extraordinary Italian fabrications. This coat will stand the test of time – in style, versatility, and quality. The rabbit fur collar adds that finishing touch of luxury, making this a perfect coat for an evening out – and eliminates the need for a scarf (and the potential for losing a scarf). The body of the coat is an alpaca/wool blend, which means it’s softer and warmer than a typical wool coat. The silhouette is sleek and straight, but not skinny.

Trina Turk’s contemporary styling is apparent in this beautiful ombre coat. We love the blend of greys for a bit of pop that doesn’t add color, so it will work with anything you’re wearing that night. The envelope collar has a touch of pizzazz and chic edge, perfect for a night out. And the sleeves have a slight flare to them, so show them off with a fun pair of gloves.

An oversized fur collar is making a big comeback, as the 70’s continue to work their way into modern styling. This is a comeback we completely support. It’s so luxe and fresh for a night out. The body of the MICHAEL Michael Kors coat is straight and simple, letting the natural coyote collar do all the talking. The colors are truly gorgeous. This coat hits the leg around the knee, so it works easily with a dress. The silhouette pairs just as well with a pantsuit and pops beautifully against all of the black grey, navy, and color you have in your wardrobe.

Ellen Tracy - Genuine Fox Fur Trim Belted Long Coat
Ellen Tracy has a similar take, but with a belt (and the additional color of black), which creates an entirely different – and equally fabulous - look. If you prefer a style that will showcase your waist (great if you are petite, pear or hourglass in shape), this version is for you.

Fur is such an important trend this season, and for the Mark Shale women, you can see that we like it best in outerwear for the evening. Club Monaco has a striking take on calf hair, using it as a color block treatment in the cuffs and upper body against the navy wool of the rest of this coat. It is simply gorgeous – and so modern. But this coat isn’t just about fashion. It uses a 2-way zipper that zips all the way up the high funnel collar, so it will keep you warm and let you comfortably sit at the same time. The body is straight and easy, just adding to its versatility. You will look so chic for a night out in this.

Trina Turk - New Jane Wool & Alpaca Blend Trim Wrap Coat
Wrap coats are prominent this season, and this is a gorgeous contemporary version in one of the season’s best colors – deep, rich burgundy. The alpaca blend trim of the oversized collar is not only beautiful, but also warm and cozy. It gives off such a rich elegance. The belted style looks beautiful over a dress or stylish jeans a sleek blouse for a night out. This is a head turner.

Capes are always a beautiful evening option, and this year they’re making their way into more mainstream uses, too. This wool cape from Theory is perfectly tailored, which really appeals to us. The shorter length looks great over a dress or wider trousers, which isn’t always the case with capes. The felted wool is smooth and sleek, and the subtle suede trim just adds to the posh feel. While it comes in navy, we recommend the black – it goes with everything for evening and looks great with a pair of jeans and soft cashmere sweater, too.

Take the cape to the next level with a poncho. They were all over the runways for fall, and none at a price as good as this. Of course Ralph Lauren would find a way to deliver a great plaid version in his Lauren line. Many ponchos are slouchy and soft, but this has some structure to it with its buckle detailing at the neck and preppy wool fabrication. We love how this poncho looks over dark jeans, black coated jeans or leather leggings with your favorite pair of boots (high or low). Make a sophisticated style statement…and stay warm.
