black winter coats

Winter coats in black are an elegant and practical addition to any seasonal wardrobe, for men and women. A black winter coat is the ideal accompaniment to a smart business suit on those mornings when the weather is unforgiving. Fashionable winter coats in black can also add a touch of glamour to evenings out or the office Christmas party. The Stylight site showcases the variety of winter coats in black.

How A Simple Black Winter Coat Can Revolutionize Your Wardrobe

Cool-weather fashion is ripe with opportunities to layer up, cover up and cozy up. But when frigid temperatures come, the need to wear a coat becomes more urgent. A coat is simply too expensive to buy in every color of the rainbow to suit all your wardrobe needs, so a classic black coat solves that problem. But then you’re faced with a dilemma—you start getting itchy at the thought of having to wear the same outfit over and over again, for the duration of the interminable cold months.

With a few of our styling tips you’ll learn how to accessorize, dress up or dress down a generic black winter coat, to feel like you’re never wearing the same thing twice.

Just Over The Shoulder

Bored of your old peacoat? Let it perch atop your shoulders, instead of slipping your arms into the sleeves. If you’re going to go this route, you’ll want your outfit underneath to be worth opening up for. Pair it with a cream turtleneck under a burgundy fur vest, and swipe your lips with a matching color. Or, for the real deal, opt for a cape that will sit perfectly on your back without budging, paired with studded strappy heels if it’s not too cold out.

Tighten Your Belt

From military to trench coats, belted details lend the ideal twist to an otherwise potentially boring garment. But don’t let that fool you—you still need to pair your coat with different pieces to keep it interesting. Spice it up with pops of bright colors, like a violet cable knit sweater, or metallic leggings. Go for some loudly patterned high top sneakers, and let a crimson red beret or a royal blue fedora be your black coat’s crowning glory.

Heavily Insulated

You may be borderline deathly allergic to the cold, forcing you to bundle up in a quilted down coat, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use your aversion to your advantage. Pair your puffer coat with beige leather pants to keep the warmth in, and a powder blue jacket under your coat in case you want to start shedding layers. Add flair to your outfit with thigh-high heeled boots and leather gloves and you’ll be the best-dressed, most-dressed person around.

Investing in a good, durable black winter coat is one of the smartest things you can do—provided you’re also smart enough to know how to wear it. Refuse to be monotonous in a monotone outfit and pair your black coat with just the right colorful add-ons.

Never look at your black winter coat the same way again.
