Many of the themes this year were the same as those from years past. That is expected. And though I'd like to buy heaps and bundles of new coats every year, the point is to invest in a piece that lasts, that can see you through the ever-changing (and ever-repeating) trends.
There were, of course, the black coats. But none of them were basic. All had a detail that drew the eye. Larger than life buttons. Soft leather. A hint of fur.

Then there were those classic coats in classic colors. Peacoats. Trenches. Some stayed incredibly true to their roots while others were deconstructed to the point that only from head on were their origins recognizable.

Some of the coats, like so much of fashion, were about playing with extremes. There were those that were stripped back and almost austere.

They played side by side with the oversized and the exaggerated.

The prints and patterns that appeared this season were bigger and bolder than those seen last year.

And every variation of every color could be found, from the pastel to the neon to the richly saturated.
