Like most of us this year, my top priority in the fashion department has been comfort. With so much uncertainty in the world recently, my anxiety has been at an all-time high. Thankfully, I’ve found comfort in making both my home and wardrobe as warm and cozy as possible—meaning it’s the soft fabrics for me. Which is why there’s one coat trend in particular this year that has my attention: The sweater coat.
What is a sweater coat, you ask? It’s essentially a cozy sweater in coat form—it has the structure and silhouette of a coat, but made of soft knit fabric that you actually want to wear. Since comfort is king these days I’m dubbing the sweater coat my personal It item of winter 2020. Whether layered over another sweater style, shacket, or blouse, this cozy coat makes your outfit feel polished yet comfortable all at the same time.
