It´s a wrap for Victoria Beckham

Although not really a trend setter - her collection usually are highly inspired by the big names of the industry-, Mrs Beckham nevertheless has been anticipating next winter major (no pun intended) fashion must-have: The oversize coat. She´s featured here wearing a wool blanket coat. 

It is official people, next season will leave room - literally - to cosying up in ample coats.eline had initiated it and this season, it seems that Stella McCartney is pushing the trend forward. The overdimensioned jackets and coats, yet unlike the 80s hardly padded which makes the look softer is not without reminding the architectural designs from Japanese Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawabuko in the 80s.

The secrets to good coats though, seem to belying on  large lapels and strict - even straight lines. The material shall look soft and sturdy at the same time to give structure, probably gabardine and heavy wool will be the material of choice.

Length however is not for every one, probably it is why the ex Spice girl leaves it open to give more amplor to the silhouette. 

Also, I believe it is better to de-dramatise the size by wearing it with casually to look effortless.

While not everyone can afford Stella McCartney or Mrs Beckham´s designs, more affordable items such as military coats - which were almost the big trend last winter- can be found in Asos and the likes.
