Spring may be here, but coat weather is still firmly in place, for now. When it comes to styles I wear on repeat, I opt for either a tailored longline or a trench in beige, navy or tan. Some may say boring; I say classic. But when it comes to coats this year, I branched out and got my first quilted puffer with checked sleeves from Baum Und Pferdgarten. Wild I know. And if I'm honest, my head has also been swayed by one of the most popular coats for women right now: cream coats.
I've spotted so many of my fellow fashion editors and influencers alike sporting this particular colour. And while it's an on-the-go-coffee nightmare, I can't stop thinking about how effortless they look with every outfit. Sure, you'll need to splash out on dry cleaning more regularly than usual, but to look this good, I believe it's worth every penny.
All of the people I've seen wearing the coat in question have kept to this equation: cream + longline + oversized. And the likes of COS, & Other Stories and The Row all have this style covered, but I've also seen faux fur, teddy, shearling and raincoats all in the cappuccino-froth hue. So on my hunt for the perfect cream coat, these are 17 I think everyone will be wearing until summer finally hits
HOW TO WEAR CREAM COATS
Style Notes: One of my favourite Insta accounts for minimalist looks, Jessica Skye nails it with this monochrome ensemble. Rule to follow: If in doubt, stick to basics.
Style Notes: Keeping the cream coat centre of attention with a simple jeans-and-boots combo. Nnenna Echem knows a bright bag can instantly lift any outfit.
Style Notes: Yes, yes and hell yes to layering a cream coat over a cream jumper with another cream cable-knit around the shoulders. Tonal never fails when it comes to neutrals.
Style Notes: Another colour I'm loving this year is orange, and Karina Marriott shows how to intertwine the two. This palette with light-wash jeans will work throughout spring, too.
