One of the main reasons why I love the colder weather is because of layering and jackets!
There’s actually nothing I love more than layering lots of pieces in Fall and Winter. I think layering gives you more of an opportunity to show off your creativity with styling. Oh and I also just really enjoy being super cozy. I typically regret saying that because I also get VERY hot VERY easily.
A few weeks ago, I was sent a beautiful leopard trench coat from Few Moda. If you haven’t heard of Few Moda. They’re a high fashion wholesale club — members can join for an annual free and then shop at wholesale prices (50%-70%). Out of the pieces I received, I naturally gravitated towards this leopard trench. By now, I think it’s safe to say that leopard is way more than a “moment”. Leopard is a neutral (remember when the QUEEN, Jenna Lyons, said “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral.”?)
I knew I could style this coat with pretty much ALL THE THINGS. I styled it the first two ways I could think of, and I’m REALLY loving these looks. Wearing a leopard coat definitely makes a statement, but it’s definitely one I want to make.
it’s casual
First, the casual way. Because, DUH.
I’ve been wearing these jeans NONSTOP since I got them. So I threw them on with this leopard trench, and loved how the buttons played off the neutral tones. I paired the jeans with flats because it just makes it easier to run around the city in. I also have on this AMAZING henley that is honestly one of the best pieces I’ve ever purchased. As you can say, I pretty much play it safe when it comes to wearing a print. I’m definitely not on Blair’s level of print mixing and matching.
Throw on a hat and you’re GOOD. TO. GO.
dress it up
I knew this trench would be a great piece to wear with a dressier look too. The easiest way to do that is with a dress. I’m VERY into jumper dresses at the moment. I think they’re so adorable, and the perfect way to get some layering pieces underneath (see how I styled a burgundy jumper with another animal print on the LOFT Instagram!).
I also don’t think there’s anything cuter than a mini dress with knee high boots (is anyone else over OTK boots, or is it just me?). I got these boots last year and really love them. They’re JUST the right amount of heel…meaning I can still walk around in them.
If you had to pick one look, which one would you pick?!
I mean HOLY FABULOUS! I honestly CANNOT pick a favorite. I just can’t. I love them both and really you should just alternate these two looks every other day for the rest of fall. soo good!

AHHHH THANK YOU! Really feel like my truest self in fall. I’ll keep an eye out for some similar pairs and send them your way! xx
Wow! I love your leopard trench coat. All these are great styles, but I like it better with the jeans. I too look forward to Fall so that I can pile on the layers.
