Fall Fashion: Shag-a-licious Coats and Sweaters
Studio Style With Anita Gunn
The ‘60s and ‘70s are still hot this season, with designers showing lots of miniskirts, high rise bellbottoms and knee high and over the knee boots. But my favorite look for the season is the shaggy coat. It instantly takes any outfit go from ordinary to Almost Famous rockstar.
First up is Elizabeth and James “Iris” for $695 and available at net-a-porter. This longer style is great with miniskirts and knee high boots.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
If you’re looking for something more funky, try Urban Outfitter’s “Ladakh Pieced Faux Fur” Jacket for $168. Also comes in baby pink and navy blue.
If you’re on a budget, try any of the next three.
First up is H & M’s “Faux Fur Coat” for $59.95, available online or in store.
Next is Asos’ “Shaggy Coat” for $66, available online.
And Forever 21’s “Shaggy Layered Jacket” for only $37.90, available online or in store.
If you live in a warm climate like I do the next two sweater styles are for you. Plus you can wear these indoors, which is a nice bonus.
This one is Free People’s “Faithful Shaggy” for $195. It comes in three colors, including navy and black, and it’s available online and in store. I got mine!
There is also this fab shorter style, the “Shag Queen” for $68, available on the Nasty Gal website. It’s perfect with high-waisted bell-bottoms as shown.
The trick is to keep the rest of your outfit simple (while keeping to the 60’s and 70’s look) and let the shag be the star. Remember; never underestimate the power of a good shag–so get shaggy with it!
