The Plaid Coat To Buy This Fall

September 20, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

This is the plaid coat to invest in this fall! Read on to find out why I believe it’s worth the money and see the two ways I styled it.

Fall Plaid Coat

The moment I laid eyes on her I knew. This was THE plaid coat to get this fall. I see a lot of red buffalo plaid out there, which is great and I love, but can be limiting when it comes to getting more wear out of an investment piece. So, I was so thrilled to see Aritzia come out with this black and white version, which makes this piece so much more versatile, giving you more bang for your buck. This coat is $250 and here’s why I believe it’s money well-spent.

Fall Plaid Coat-2

Why I love this plaid coat:

1. A great coat can make any outfit. No matter what’s going on underneath, a stylish coat can help you look instantly pulled together. In my early days of being a mom, I would throw a fabulous coat over whatever mess I was wearing and look and feel like I had it going on. The key is to make sure it’s good quality and in style.

Fall Plaid Coat-32. This is a great layering piece to take you through three seasons. It’s thin enough so you’re not sweating on those warmer fall days but still cozy. You can layer it with a cable knit sweater or t-shirt and long cardigan in the winter, and pair with a cute dress and heels in the early days of spring. In a climate like Edmonton (where we live) this coat especially makes sense as an investment piece because summer is so short.

3. I love that you can dress this plaid coat up or down. It’s acceptable for a gala-style evening with a cocktail dress or with jeans and cute sneakers for taking the kids to school.

4. This coat falls under the umbrella (pun intended) of the biggest trend right now – modern western (the print, the material, and the oversized, cocoon-feel).

Fall Plaid Coat-64. With the neutral colours, you can wear this coat with just about anything. I love adding a pop of colour with basic tones, like this cobalt blue tunic dress.

  • Impromptu holiday cocktails lunch date with the hubs 🥂 (he took the pic). 😊 Gosh, I love when Grandma comes to town! Remember before kids when we just did these things all the time? 
This is the amazing neutral plaid jacket I picked up from @ellesclosetboutique. It's definitely a layering piece so I paired it with a fluffy white turtleneck sweater from @hm. Any questions - ask away! Happy Friday! 📸 @ryanjespersen
