Do you like my new coat and how should I style it?

[CoatyWonder]

Got this 2nd hand coat which was a steal and I love it! Wool and alpaca.

I'm trying to put together a basic autumn/winter wardrobe on a really really tight budget. Any ideas for some looks that will work well with this coat that I can mix and match?

Am going to check out charity shops today

I love it! I have one very similar (also second hand) and normally wear it with a chunky knitted scarf and a brooch, but then I do like a bauble or two 😊

I don't think there are many things that don't go with these coats, and the only thing I'm always careful of is skirt length so I don't have an odd bit of dress hanging down a few inches below it. Everything else from jeans to mini dresses is fine.

I love it. So elegant. Think it will go with anything but esp well with straight dark jeans and boots?

I'm picturing it with black leggings / tights / skinnies and chunky black boots and a neutral coloured long jumper / jumper minidress underneath. It's a gorgeous coat

Ooh you lucky thing. The texture, side splits and yellow lining ❤️❤️❤️

I'd wear that.

Lovely!

Beautiful 😍

Dark navy jeans, brown ankle boots and maybe a nice fine knit natural/oatmeal jumper and a brown cross body bag?

You could go very 70s with a short skirt/dress, bright coloured polo-neck and knee boots.

Or dark trousers, slightly loose and rolled up, with ankle boots or chunky trainers, and a sweatshirt. Again, Id' go for a bright/bold colour; you can wear anything with that colour coat really.

Thank you everyone! I absolutely love it too, its Cacharel and I got it for €60 on Vinted. Best thing is I had a clear image of it in my head and saw it quite literally within the first 3 min of looking!

You're probably right and I can wear it with most anything but good point @SocksAndTheCity re hem lengths. I dont really wear dresses but with these side splits I'm actually thinking I'd quite like to experiment with some long slightly folkish dresses this autumn. I'm also craving an oversized/mans white shirt. Should be able to find both those things at charity shops.

I have some kind of folky heeled brown boots but otherwise for everyday wear I only have a pair of black biker boots. I'd quite like to find some chunky Derbys to go with this coat. And definitely a scarf that's more interesting than my grey one will be in order. Maybe a dark blood red.

Mustard coloured polo neck to match the lining!

This is gorgeous, I’m rather jealous!

it will go with anything really - dark jeans, polo and boots / denim jeans, white T-shirt and trainers / mini skirt boots and tights / even athleisure wear would look great with it

Basically a coat for all occasions!

Yes absolutely gorgeous. It’ll go with most everything too, particularly in the Autumn. It would make me so itchy though!

If you're a scarfy person, a chunky burnt orange one would look nice.

Lovely coat.

Beautiful!!!!!

Smashing.
Chunky boots, jeans and a big scarf.
Knee length boots, skirt and cowl/polo neck jumper

Very nice indeed. Too boxy for my shape but great on someone else (you). You can wear this with anything really. Great with scarves, hats, boots.
Dresses and thick tights or jeans and jumpers…smart for work, it’ll do everything.

Thank you! I'm glad everyone likes it as with very little money to play with I need a solid coat that's versatile and does the heavy lifting style wise 👌

Beautiful coat! I'm a 70s boho fan so I'd style with earthy colours - browns, tans, creams.

That is a beautiful coat, what a great find and a bargain! As others have said it will go with anything, plus being wool and alpaca it will be warm without being bulky. Have to say I'm rather jealous, I never find things like that perhaps I should employ you as my clothes shopper!

So many options for what you can wear it with you'll never tire of it.

Nothing to add as I love all of the suggestions above. Just wanted to come on and say what a beautiful find!

Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous coat! I think all of the suggestions so far are fab. I just had to comment on what a fab find!

You could wear lots of things with that.

Tu at Sainsburys has (not on website yet) a sort of greeny silky tie neck (it's the one on far left hand side of page):-

tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/c/women/women-dresses?INITD=PLP-WWNewIn-Dresses - I don't think I'd suit that colour though.

Burnt orange/rust jumpers and skirts and brighter autumn reds would go with it, black, brown etc. You could also do a silk/satin shirt and Zara have this one (probably the wrong shade of green for your coat:-

Word of warning OP though - I don't think it'll happen with that coat because it's expensive but I've had cheaper wool coats like this one and they bobble badly. Also watch for snagging the lovely fabric on things. But lovely coat, well done!

I'm now thinking based on your coat - I bought a lovely bright turquoise designer coat but more proper wool, found it in the attic the other day, decided to drag it down and keep and not Ebay!

@GonnaGetGoingReturns
Ooooh that turquoise coat sounds statementy, care to share some pics? And you're right that it will require a bit of care. Mums words: "and are you going to look after it?" (I'm 35....)
That's beautiful, that green necktie dress. Unfortunately it's too dressy for me. Believe me I've bought loads of pretty things before but ultimately never get around to wearing them/feel uncomfortable in them! I need stuff that looks/feels lower key if you see what I mean.

Couldn't be bothered to go around the shops today. Will go tomorrow!
