The product: H&M Houndstooth-patterned Coat
Why we love it: With cold weather forecast for, well, the foreseeable future, there’s no end in sight for coat weather.
But, at this point, you may be getting pretty tired of your go-to black, camel or grey wool topper. That feeling of boredom with one’s once-favourite coat is what makes this boldly printed option from the Swedish retailer H&M such a nice sartorial sight for sore eyes.
From the just-past-the-knee length, to the all-over black-and-white houndstooth pattern, this belted-waist coat is sure to add a dose of ‘cool’ to your winter wardrobe. Plus, the timeless element of the all-over pattern is sure to make this double-breasted coat a fixture in your closet for years to come.
We’re partial to the idea of wearing it on repeat with a favourite pair of jeans and a turtleneck for a work-to-weekend appropriate ensemble. Looking to really kick up the style factor of this printed piece? Why not pair it with a bold pop of neon — a bright green sweater or hot-pink layering vest, perhaps — to really stand out on the street.
The price: $109
