Mastering Style with Quality Items

“This season’s theme is ‘STYLE NEVER FADES.’ We recommend authentic, sophisticated styling of items and looks that, like many in fashion history, will never fade with time. The coats styled for this feature have captivating, refined silhouettes and are high-quality items that give you confidence just by wearing them,” suggests Haru Suzuki, Fashion Merchandiser at Barneys New York.

Suzuki-san introduced us to coordinates that lead to becoming an even more attractive woman, with simplicity and elegance. What are the keys to styling a high-quality coat?

—What are the must-have items for this season's coat styles?

Choose sophisticated items such as beautifully tailored shirts, soft blouses, narrow pants, dresses or voluminous skirts that create an X-line silhouette, simple and authentic bags, strap shoes like patent leather, elegant heeled short boots, lace-up shoes, and opera pumps.
We also recommend adding jersey pants, Victorian lace blouses, Western-style belts, fringe shoes, or fur items as accents to your outfit, elevating your style with a mature sense of ease.

—What are the styling tips?

For a coordinate featuring a soft blouse and clean white, we chose a coat from Martin Grant. Marking the waist tightens the entire look, creating a balanced X-line silhouette that is easy to achieve even for petite Japanese women. The noble impression comes from the quality of the material. Black and dark colors, which allow texture to show through, are trending, and they are finished with a European brand's touch. For coats, be particular about material selection.

This look, featuring a navy coat with a tight-fit silhouette that perfectly matches the current mood, is a fresh take on a Chesterfield coat, finished with a modern edge. Inside, we've mixed it up coolly with a playful artist T-shirt and stretch leather pants. It's essential to be creative with color choices and balance the look with your shoes.
