CALL IT POST-WINTER NOSTALGIA BUT RIGHT NOW THESE COATS HAVE GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE NEXT TIME JULY COMES AROUND...
So winter is basically over, the cold that had us almost always begrudgingly buried in a moving closet of warmth has all but left and is ushering in the heat of the spiteful summer; I am however, feeling a little sad and will no doubt sit and stare longingly at coats in store windows knowing that if I do happen to buy them, I won't be wearing anytime soon.
Because being the sad sap I am, I brought together the four biggest coat trends of the FW 2016 season for a final showdown... I wouldn't call it one of any-size-bigger-than-XL proportions, but it was a doozy. and if the history is anything to go by, I cant wait to see some of these next season:
1. THE DUSTER COAT
Since spring 2015, the duster coat has been an asterisk in every serious winter closet for its ease and ultimate cool factor.
This works best when paired with denim diapers, boyfriend jeans, slouch knits and body-con t-shirt dresses.
Style Rank: 8/10
Celebrity Endorsement: Gigi Hadid, Margaret Zhang, Kendall Jenner
2. THE SHEARLING
The default winter warmer as made famous by Burberry; the shearling coat has as much power as the sheep that made it all possible. This coat has a sort of a Game of Thronesy charm to it and if someone happens to yell that "winter is coming," it would be appropriate for you to turn around and decapitate them. Fitting.
Style Ranking: 5/10
Celebrity Endorsements: Olivia Palermo, Karlie Kloss, Daisy Lowe
3. THE SLEEVELESS
Probably the most popular coat trend of the season, despite its winter impracticality. Best worn with a white shirt, black bottoms and chunky AF shoes.
Style Ranking: 6/10
Celebrity Endorsements: Victoria Beckham, Olivia Palermo, Gigi Hadid
4. OVERSIZE
If winter was anything to go by, it should go without saying that bigger really is better., don't believe me? Ask Drake.

Style Ranking: 10.5/10
Celebrity Endorsements: Leandra Medine, Drake, Anna Selezneva
Oversize coats SLAY. The rankings speak for themselves: The oversize coat wins this winter.
*So to lay it all out there, my favourite was the oversize coat from the beginning and I may have tampered with the ratings...
