My personal favorite is to incorporate it into your outer wear. You have a lot of options here as well; capes, peacoats, and the featured way, suede coats. Personally, I’m a huge fan of suede coats being a major trend again, they’re very instrumental in taking a simple look to the next level. My style advice this week focuses around that taking simple to the next level aspect of the trend.
