Petite Workwear & Business Casual Outfit Ideas for Women

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!

Also sharing below a link to ALL of my favorite tunic sweaters from Amazon. They are sooo cozy and the best quality!
