One of my favorite things about winter fashion is how a great coat can instantly be the outfit. Forget the layers underneath—when your outerwear steals the show, everything else is secondary. That’s exactly what this stunning Loulou Studio Borneo coat does. It’s bold, chic, and transforms even the simplest outfit into a statement.
I don’t usually reach for a lot of color, but this blue coat just felt right the moment I saw it (you may remember a similar look I wore last spring!). While it can absolutely be dressed up, I love how effortlessly it works for casual everyday wear. In fact, the moment I styled it, I knew it was the perfect winter uniform: this standout coat, AGOLDE 90’s jeans, my go-to New Balance 574s, and a soft camel scarf for extra warmth. To polish it all off, I added my Celine Bucket 16 bag for that elevated finishing touch.
And let me just say—the New Balance 574 sneakers have basically become part of my identity at this point. They’re endlessly comfortable, super versatile, and look flawless with denim. It’s rare for a sneaker to check all the boxes, but these do.
At first glance, you might think this outfit is simple. But for those of us who live for a statement coat, this look is everything. It’s cozy, stylish, and has that effortless “I just threw this on” vibe while still feeling put together. No one cares what top is underneath—it’s all about the coat, the sneakers, and the confidence you carry it with.
If you’re looking for inspiration on how to make your winter coat the star of your outfit, this is it. Scroll down for more ways to nail the coat-and-sneakers combo this season.
