White coats are snowballing as the latest outerwear trend. They're bold, cozy, and the best foray into the season without actually having to freeze. That said, there's a right and wrong way to bundle up in them . . . the proof is in these examples of Kate Moss and Eva Longoria.
| Kate Moss: Kate knows how to rock every piece of clothing she owns and a bold white coat is no exception.
Coat: Staying true to her street-chic style, she dons a fancy fur-trim coat yet makes it look casual and effortless. Shoes: Though she's wearing a stark white coat, she knows better than to go matchy matchy with her footwear. Instead, her suede over-the-knee boots give her a rock 'n roll edge. Accessories: Because her outerwear is loud, Kate kept the accessories to a bare minimum: a simple clutch and no jewels. |
Eva Longoria: The actress opted for a long white coat to keep her fully covered.
Coat: Because she's petite, the long coat is overbearing. Still, the slight flare at the bottom and tie-waist belt lend a girly flair. Shoes: Pairing UGGs with a classy coat took the look from potentially chic to tacky and immature. They make her legs look unnecessarily stumpy. Accessories: Can you tell Eva loves to pile on the accessories? A white fedora, jumbo black patent bag, and a tassel — it's all too much. Less would have been way more. |

I like this look, as long as there's no fur!
1Eva certaintly overdid it and her long coat and bulky boots make her look shorter.
2I have an AMAZING white coat I got from H&M a year ago. I am in love with it and people always ompliment me on it.
3Kate could give Eva lessons.
4Eva looks ridiculous. Those boots ruin any outfit.
5I need one now
6Those uggs are so ugly.
7i do NOT like Eva's look...it's too overwhelming on her body. i say stick to one white piece at a time.
8Heinous UGGs aside, I think Eva looks much better. I love her coat. Meanwhile, Kate's over-the-knee boots make her look like a hooker. I think both women should rethink their footwear choices!
9i don't like fur at all but i still think akte needs to teach eva how to dress. it's rare that i see eva look nice and simple. she always seems to overdo things and look tacky
10I'm so happy you posted this, Fab. I just bought a long-ish white coat at Nordstroms on Thursday and have been toying with whether or not I should return it. I will have to apply this here knowledge to my decision when I get home today.
11I have rarely seen Eva in an outfit that I like. She does not have good taste in clothing.
12I love the white! I am having a hard time finding clothes that are pure white instead of the creamy "winter white" though!
13Couldn't agree more, Fab! Since when did tassels become things people carried around as accessories?
14Does that tassel have a practical use or is trying to pass herself off as a Christmas ornament? And while she does look ridiculous, at least she isn't wearing fur, which is tacky, tacky, tacky. Winter white is great despite these two fashion tragedies...if only I could wear white without spilling coffee all over myself.
15kate looks way better!
16the boots on eva just killed it.
What was Eva thinking when she pulled on those Uggs?!
17Uggs destroy everything in their path. Hideous!!
18I have a winter white trench style coat with gold embroidery (sounds crazier than it looks- the gold is understated) from Old Navy that I bought last year, but I have yet to wear it-- I'm thinking I'm gonna debut it at my compnay's Christmas party. come to think of it, I have several trenches I've never worn, but love the shape!! Hopefully it'll cool down this week and I can wear the other two.
19A tassel? WTF
20Oh god EVA!
21eva looks like a fool
22Uggs should be illegal.
