Play with color

\"Sometimes you can do a full monochromatic look, like wearing all winter white or matching a camel turtleneck, corduroy pants or another color that all are the same color as your coat,\" said Engel. \"I think it's just so minimalistic and chic.\"

Make sure to get something functional

Engel mentioned the importance of finding a functional coat because it's so essential to your wardrobe.

\"You change your outfit every day, but your coat you want to go with everything that you have in your wardrobe. I personally don't know anybody that wears a different coat every single day.\"
