“All black, especially in the fall is definitely undefeated. Wearing a jacket on contrasting colors gives it the pop you need to stand out in a crowd.” -Kris

Have you ever wanted to step out for the night, but not in the mood to change your whole outfit? Well our friend to the blog, Kris, shows us how to accomplish this task with just the simple change of a coat.

For his first look, Kris styled a black turtleneck, dress pants, loafers with a camel long camel coat. He states, “The merino wool turtle neck and wool peacoat keep you warm during the winter, and yet, still gets you where you need to be in the fall. Also adding, who doesn’t love a great fitting peacoat? The limited edition slacks from H&M are my favorite pants to wear. The polyester or elastic material never gets wrinkled, you can hang these up to dry after a wash and throw them right on.”

The coat really gives a pop to this look! With a simple switch, Kris has completely transitioned into to a more evening friendly ensemble in his long black coat. He went from the office to cock-tail hour in the matter of seconds.

“This look is something that I’d like to call an all-purpose outfit. I feel confident enough wearing it to work without it being street-ish and comfortable enough to wear it at an after work happy hour without looking like I came from a long day at the office.” -Kris

If you are headed out to a few spots after work, the best item to bring with you is a thick coat of course. If you want to get technical, a bomber jacket sounds more precise.

For this post, friend of the blog, Kris, shows us how he runs errands in style in his bomber jacket. while also keeping warm. His look consists of a white turtleneck, cotton dress pants, and suede brogue shoes. He states, “The wool slacks and hard-bottom blue suede brogues give the look the professional “I mean business” feel, while the cotton turtle neck and quilted jacket give it the relaxed “but I’m chilling” look. I always was an advocate of mixing blue and green together.”

Since bomber jackets are popular this season, don’t be afraid to dress yours up with a collared shirt or sweater like Kris.

To accessorize, Kris brought along his leather backpack. As you already know, backpacks are perfect when you are on the go.

So, tell us, what do you think of this look?
