New York Fashion Week, Look 4 - Cocoon Coats

Yay! My favourite coat style is big for 2012.  My lovely friend Geneva gave me her black cocoon shaped coat when she moved from London to Hong Kong last year and I have been wearing it to death.  This style was all over the runways in New York which is great as I love big, warm coats in cold weather!

I just love this style - if you are after the look on the high street (it is floating about already) then COS and other Scandinavian brands like Maje are great at it.  Our own English brands are still all for the Kate-Middleton style coat (long, tight and structured) - this is a breathe of fresh air!  It doesn't look like you need a certain colour or print to nail the look, but it has to be an all-over colour/print unless you count the leather sleeves (yay to them still being in) and also has to be relatively plain in terms of buttons and straps.
