Petite Workwear & Business Casual Outfit Ideas for Women

November 8, 2023

The Prettiest Plaid Coats for Fall and Winter: My TOP Picks!

Happy November guys!! I’m excited to be sharing some of the prettiest plaid coats for Fall and Winter! As the air starts to turn a little more crisp it’s time to start thinking about layers and how to style your coats this fall/winter!

What’s better than adding a little plaid to your style this year? I LOVE neutrals and good monochrome looks, but sometimes they feel repetitive to me, so I will throw on a plaid coat, jacket or blazer to give the look some spice! haha.

Below I styled one of my favorite lightweight plaid coats that I popped over a tunic sweater and some leggings. This outfit can easily be worn to the office for a business casual look that keeps you warm but not too heavy. I’ve also worn this jacket many times with sweater dresses or even trousers! I’ve linked this one along with some other favorites!

The Long Plaid Coat: This coat is a great way to stay warm on those extra-cold days. The long length will keep you cozy from head to toe, and add a bit of elegance to your overall outfit!

The Short Plaid Coat: This coat is a great option for those who want a more casual look or a business professional look at the office. The short length is perfect for layering with other pieces, and the plaid pattern adds a touch of personality.

A few extra tips to style a plaid coat this season!!

  • Pair your plaid coat with a solid-colored top and bottom. Make it a monochrome outfit with your plaid coat being the focal point! This will help to keep the focus on the coat and prevent the outfit from looking too busy.
  • Accessorize with a scarf or hat in a complementary color. This will add a pop of color and help to tie the outfit together.
  • Wear your plaid coat with heels or boots for a dressier look, or with sneakers for a more casual look.
  • Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors and patterns. Plaid is a versatile pattern that can be mixed and matched with a variety of other pieces!

How you Dress is a Career Strategy 👩🏼‍💻 Two equal How you Dress is a Career Strategy 👩🏼‍💻

Two equally talented women walk into a boardroom. One is polished, put together, and clearly intentional about how she shows up. One is not. They will not be perceived the same way. Most of the time, they will not be given the same opportunities.

How you dress tells your team you take this seriously.

How you dress tells your boss you are ready for the next level. That you’re confident for the role.

How you dress tells the room you respect yourself and you respect them.

That’s not failure, that’s growth. The version of That’s not failure, that’s growth.
The version of success I dreamed about at 22 isn’t the version I want today and that’s okay.

Back then, I thought success looked like checking all the boxes, chasing titles, and always reaching for the next thing. As I’ve grown, so have my priorities. Now, success means peace, meaningful relationships, doing work that matters, and building a life I don’t need a vacation from.

Your goals are allowed to change. Your definition of success is allowed to evolve. That’s not giving up or falling behind- it’s a sign that you’re growing into the person you’re meant to become. 🤍
