Style Tips: How to Look Pretty in a Pea Coat – Glam Radar

When it comes to trendy autumn or winter outerwear, nothing compares to the beauty of the pea coat. Unlike other fads, it has withstood the test of time – as it has been keeping sailors cozy since the middle ages. Take advantage of this timeless classic by styling your pea coat in any of the following ways:

Be Traditionally Trendy

What’s great about this classic coat is that it is trendy by itself. With that being said, keep your styling and layering to a minimum. A simple top and a good pair of jeans are enough to make you look chic.

For a nice nautical look with a pea coat, wear a striped shirt, skinny jeans and pointed flats, such as the one shown below.

Dress to Impress

Look feminine in a menswear-inspired pea coat by wearing it with a dress. Because of the nature of the coat, it is best worn with tailored and structured dresses.

Wear it to Work

Give your blazers a much-needed break by trading them for pea coats. They are just as sleek, so you can wear them to the office without any problems. When styling a pea coat for work, make sure to create a stylish yet decent look. You want to look like the respectable boss, not the trashy assistant.

Style it for Warmth

If the cold is too much for you, then proper layering can do the trick. You can wear a good sweater underneath – just make sure the colors and designs don’t clash with each other.

Another good accessory to match with the coat is a scarf. If you are wearing a traditional-colored pea coat, any complementing print or design is sure to match the look. But if you are donning a printed or brightly-colored pea coat, then stick to solid colors and toned-down hues.

Be Adventurous

If you want to stand out in the crowd, go for bright and vibrant pea coats. Although these colors are perfect for spring and summer, the right styling and layering can make them indispensable for these cold months.
