If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe this season, Nordstrom has everything you need to make a statement. Their selection of standout coats, from bold hues to unexpected prints, is perfect for adding personality to your fall style. Whether you’re eyeing a vibrant red coat or exploring intricate embroidery, a statement coat is the easiest way to inject some flair into your everyday essentials. These pieces are not only bold but also versatile – ideal for layering over your go-to basics. Ahead, I’ll be sharing some simple styling tips to help you make the most of a statement coat. Keep reading to discover how Nordstrom’s latest outerwear collection can elevate your seasonal looks.
1. Keep the Rest of the Outfit Neutral
A bold coat with intricate embroidery is the star of your look, so let it shine by pairing it with neutral pieces. White wide-leg jeans, like this pair from AGOLDE, are the perfect balance – they’re understated, yet chic, providing a clean canvas that allows the coat’s vibrant colors to pop.
2. Play with Proportions
Since statement coats often have a structured silhouette, it’s important to balance them with more fitted or streamlined pieces underneath. Opt for sleek base layers like an off-the-shoulder sweater or a knit mini dress that won’t compete with the coat’s boldness. This creates a polished, flattering look without overwhelming your frame. A perfect pairing would be this Reformation sweater, which offers just the right blend of elegance and simplicity to complement any standout outerwear.
3. Embrace Monochromatic Accents
To amp up your bold coat, go for a head-to-toe monochromatic look by incorporating the same color family throughout your outfit. For a red-on-red ensemble, pair your coat with accessories like red boots or a handbag in the same hue to create a seamless, high-impact look. If you’re more into earthy tones, opt for brown-on-brown – pair the coat’s accents with chocolate-brown trousers or a matching scarf.
4. Add Subtle Accessories
When wearing such a standout piece, opt for minimal accessories that complement rather than compete with the coat. Simple gold jewelry, a sleek crossbody bag, or neutral ankle boots can enhance the look without stealing the spotlight from your statement outerwear.
