Guess what today is? It's my birthday! I am off on an adventure today, so be sure and follow me on Instagram to see where I am headed. It's someplace warmer than here, that's for sure. Since the temps have gotten cooler in Dallas, let's look at a classic way to style a black coat. A black coat is one of those wardrobe staples that never really leaves the rotation. It works year after year, regardless of trends, and can easily be styled for everyday wear or dressier occasions. Below are a few easy ways to style a black coat that feel classic, wearable, and on trend.

We are still in the dead of winter, so it is always a good time to invest in a black coat. This double-breasted wool cashmere coat is such a classic coat that never goes out of style. It is the perfect length and weight, plus it shapes nicely. The coat comes in five other color options, so I would suggest investing in more than one color. Everyone should aim to have at least a black coat and a camel coat in their winter wardrobe. Another coat I recommend is this dress coat. It's great for when you are wearing dresses or longer skirts as well as dressier occasions.

Ok so how do you wear a black coat and still look fashion-forward? For starters, black almost always goes with black. A turtleneck sweater not only keeps you warm, but also extends the line of the coat, giving you a long, sleek look. I recommend this black turtleneck sweater or this black turtleneck top for something more lightweight.

I paired the turtleneck with these Frame flare denim jeans. These jeans make your legs look so long, which again adds to the long line we want to create. This pair is a similar option for $50.

Lastly, pair the look with a pair of booties. A pointed toe is ideal so that it goes past the line of the flare jeans and you can see the color or pattern. For something fun, try these animal print booties. Give your look a final touch with these black cat eye sunglasses 

Voila! You are now chic, sleek and ready for winter.
