The coat to build all outfits around....

Recently Hoads have collaborated on a fashion evening with the fantastic little clothing boutique on Dorset Street in Sevenoaks called devine run by our good friend Elaine. For our fashion event we put together three 'get the look' boards matching outfits with our footwear to create a casual, work and evening look based around this gorgeous Great Plains coat. 

Below is why we chose those items:

Get The Look: Casual Day Out


1. Great Plains Palace Tailored Coat, £130
2. Jackpot Chirava Cardigan, £90
3. Gabor Nikki Brogue Boot, £105
4.Nougat London Corduroy Trousers, £90
5. Gabor Maxi Satchel, £69.99

This stunning tailored slightly over sized classic coat in camel is a wardrobe staple this winter - smart enough to wear to the office but warm enough to wear on the weekends at the edge of a football pitch! This neutral colour matches well with this seasons palette so will fit into your wardrobe like a dream. The Jackpot knitted cardigan again in a neutral colour will go with jeans and skirts alike, throw it over a long sleeved dress with a chunky necklace and add a bit of pattern and colour to your winter wardrobe. The colours used through the pattern detail on the cardigan will carry you through to next season and can even double as a Christmas jumper! Corduroy skinnies are the new jean this winter and the evergreen colour remains key. The Gabor Nikki ankle boots in brown add a masculine feel to this outfit - lacing up the front and brogue detailing to the toe make this a real stand out piece while remaining comfortable and classic. The perfect boot to match with any trouser look and the deep chestnut brown looks great in a tonal combination or as a stand alone colour adding richness and depth to your ensemble. Tie it all together with a satchel across body bag following through from previous seasons as the go to bag, we have chosen our Gabor Maxi satchel keeping to the tonal browns and tans of the outerwear. No makeup or a swoosh of mascara and splash of blusher add the perfect girl about town look.


Get The Look: Day at the Office

1. Great Plains Palace Tailored Coat, £130
2. Great Plains Leopard Love V Neck Dress, £55
3. Gabor 71.639 Boot, £150

Here, the coat is just the right amount of tailoring to wear to the office and just the right length to keep you warm no matter the weather. The Leopard love v-neck dress has a flattering cut - nipping in at the waist and skimming over the hips flaring out to a knee length skirt. Greys and blacks suit a multitude of people and occasions but never look dull; the leopard print smartens up this dress while also being bang on trend in terms of detail this season. Paired here with a classic cut knee length plain black boot by Gabor for comfort all day and style where it matters. We, like lots of you, love to match our bag with our boots and have chosen the Classic Mulberry satchel to finish of the outfit - the perfect size to carry all the office essentials, with a tonal cream and grey ombre pashmina for those colder days. Throw on a blazer from the back of your wardrobe for meeting a new client or add a statement necklace and the heels you keep under your desk for the last minute drinks after work. Complete the outfit with a deep berry lipstick and stud earrings for an easy but polished look. 


Get The Look: Evening Out

1. Great Plains Palace Tailored Coat, £130
2. Darling Jenny Dress, £75
3. Pedro Miralles 7600 Antique Silver heels, £95
4. Pearl Jewellery, similar available at devine.

The Jenny dress - the perfect little black dress. Lace detailing with sheer sleeves and a sheer hem make this dress simply stunning on showing the perfect amount of skin and fitting like a dream. Make the dress the statement here with simple pearl drop earrings and a pearl cuff - classic and sophisticated pearls make the perfect addition to any outfit adding a vintage feel. The Pedro Miralles heels in antique silver finish the outfit off perfectly - the washed effect silver colouring add just the right amount of colour without drawing too much attention away from the statement dress. This perfect shade of silver matches well with this seasons colours and the thick but elegantly cut heel enables you to reaming comfortable all night. Cover up with the classic tailored coat and you are good to go! Smokey eyes with a hint of lip gloss and burgundy nails make this outfit complete. 

How would you style these outfits? What is your staple wardrobe piece that you build all outfits around?
