Good morning, Tuesday. It's finally Fall in NY and it's chilly outside and I for one am loving it. I love a chill in the air and am excited to wear some of my favorite pieces, though I've not bought much new this year. One way to freshen the wardrobe without spending a ton is to get a cute new piece of outerwear at a good price point.
The other day my pal had a stoop sale right here in Brooklyn and we spied with our little eyes a fabulous woman walking down the street in a fuzzy plaid coat. It was multicolored and cool and a perfect piece for a weekend stroll over jeans and a sweater. Love.
So here are few of my picks for some plaid coats that won't break the bank, though I snuck one in that's not super cheap, but is iconic and an instant closet classic. I am partial to buffalo plaid so most of my picks are in that territory, but also love a brightly colored mohair type of coat or jumper that feels a little bit punk rock.
So we may as well start with the expensive piece, this one from perennial favorite Isabel Marant Etoile. I love a buffalo plaid coat and this one does not disappoint. True it's over $500, but it's a great piece and I love it for everything from pumpkin picking days to farmers market strolls to upstate hikes for coffee on chilly mornings. Her coats have a great fit and work with everything in your wardrobe.
This coat from Target is a steal at $79.99- I love the oversized vibe and at that price, it won't break the bank. So good.
Love this one from Free People too in the longer length- super cozy and extra cute.
Ooh and seriously run to Abercrombie- this Woolrich is only available online and love the duffel coat details for something a bit prepped out.
The other option I love there? This little fuzzy number that is super stylish and super affordable too at under $200. Saw it in person at the store yesterday and it is really so cute.
Also for you vintage fans- I adore a vintage Pendleton borrowed from the boys- so many great ones on Etsy and the like- reasonably priced and very cool when worn with something feminine underneath like a floral dress with a turtleneck underneath for that grungy, 90s vibe I will always love.
And really if you want to go more low key my top pick is this Madewell Cocoon coat- it's so cute with everything from a vintage rock tee and jeans to a pretty dress or turtleneck and trousers. Love love love this look.
So hopefully you've gone mad for plaid like I have this morning. Go forth and shop for something warm and fuzzy, won't you? Cause that's what's up this patterned Tuesday in the 718. Yours, in checks and balances. XO
