Gigi Hadid Taught Us How to Wear a Statement Coat

Gigi Hadid has been on a serious style streak lately. Whether she's wearing a cute crop top under a furry jacket or pairing a metallic puffer with a chunky sweater, it’s clear the model has mastered the art of winter fashion.

She was recently seen wearing a printed Tory Burch coat, proving that a standout outerwear is all you really need to survive the frigid temperature in style. The long jacquard coat from the brand's fall 2015 collection popped against her sleek, all-black outfit, making it the perfect statement piece to wear on the weekends and to a casual holiday party. Hadid kept the rest of her look simple, opting for her tried-and-true Mansur Gavriel Lady bag and a slender choker. The discreet, understated look of the bag balances the loud pattern on the coat—the pairing also provides the perfect solution for minimalists who might find the vibrant coat a challenge to pull off in an everyday setting.

While most of us above the Mason-Dixon line have zipped our coats up to the neck, Hadid opted to leave her coat open for that hurriedly put together look. Take note: If it’s really, really cold where you live, take inspiration from one of the model’s other recent looks and pair a seriously chunky cable knit turtleneck underneath—you can proudly wear your statement coat open without the fear of getting frostbite. It also provides a great opportunity to show off those heavy sweaters that've been sitting in the back of your closet all year long.

Celebs such as Kendall Jenner, Kate Moss, and Rihanna have also experimented with the statement coat this season in variations ranging from printed fur to leopard jackets. Plus, the statement coat was seen all over the runway in the form of extreme puffer jackets from designers like Balenciaga and Vetements. Even labels like J.Crew presented larger-than-life statement coats for fall 2016.

Now you know, when planning your #OOTD for your next holiday party, take a tip from Hadid. You don’t have to wear an elaborate dress or even a skirt. Plus, you’re guaranteed to stay warm, no matter how low the temperature may drop.
