Be The Black Sheep In A Black Wool Jacket

When the weather gets cool everyone looks to the black jacket staple to wrap up warm and stay fashionable. It’s the ultimate winter essential, and if you don’t have one then you’re in the minority. What does this have to do with being a black sheep you ask? Well, everyone may be sporting a black jacket, but it’s the way you wear it that can make it stand out.

Read on as we break black wool jackets down by style to show you how different ones worn with just the right bold ensemble can revolutionize your winter wardrobe and set you apart.

Peacoat

Potentially the most feminine cut you can get in a jacket, a pea coat has the potential to accentuate your femininity—or make you seem like a cookie-cutter woman in a sea of peacoats. Prove you’re no stereotype by layering feminine textures, like a lilac ruffle dress with the urban effortlessness of white sneakers and a black beanie.

Blazer

No need to hide in a huge down coat to get to the office without catching the flu. A blazer-style wool jacket is the ideal way to keep it professional, without having to sacrifice your warmth. Pair it with a bold patterned shirt and a turquoise pencil skirt to show you may be a serious working girl, but your ambition is matched by your unparalleled sense of style.

Duffle

A duffle jacket is the ideal cold weather outerwear, but because of that you have more people against whom to compete in the fashion wars. To prove you’re the black sheep of the fashion world let your thigh high suede boots peek out from underneath a long jacket. Opt for a jacquard skirt and top it off with a ruby red beret.

Now that we’ve given you some styling tips, there’s no excuse for you to go with the flow just because your jacket is generic. Use it as an opportunity to pile on the statement accessories, cutting-edge threads and daring attitude.

Stand out from the crowd by styling a black wool jacket just right.
