Top Women’s Coat Trends 2011

The absolute best women’s coat fashion trends for 2011 include bold patterns, figure flattering designs and oh-so-chic design details.


Simple Yet Chic Belted Waist

A belted waist is a great way to show off your feminine silhouette. Don’t be afraid of bold color or cool patterns – not only do they add a little flare but they also help you to stand out – fashionably – from the crowd.

Add a textured leather satchel, sleek crystal inspired watch and lace up ankle boots to complete your look. Accessorize your belted waist coat with a nice silk scarf wrapped loosely around your neck.

Classic Figure Flattering Designs

Figure flattering coats are usually cut just below the hips or just above the knee. The reason why some women’s coat designs are referred to as “classic” is because they are essentially the most figure flattering designs. They are either tapered at the waist or have a belted waist and they are designed with the female physique in mind.

Don’t be afraid to try styles that are outside of your comfort zone. The key to finding something to flatter your physique is to search for a coat that plays up your best features.

Stylish Bold Patterns

During the cold winter months adding a little dazzle in the form of a patterned coat or jacket is a great way to celebrate the season. There is nothing wrong with making a true fashion statement. From textured tartan designs to stunning abstract patterns look for something that draws you in and puts a smile on your face.
